This project is a ground-level adaptive reuse intervention within Fairlie, one of Melbourne's earliest and most architecturally significant high-rise residential buildings. Completed in 1961 by Yuncken Freeman Brothers, Griffiths & Simpson, Fairlie is heritage-listed and celebrated for its modernist expression, including prefabricated concrete frames, a non-loadbearing curtain wall system, and distinctive arched pilotis that create a floating base.

27 May 2026 @ 12:00 pm

A new model for sustainable urban living from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Zemlja, is an ecologically and economically viable retrofit apartment located in a former socialist neighborhood in Sarajevo. In a society still recovering from the Bosnian War and the Siege of Sarajevo in the 90s, Zemlja strives to rebuild a sense of place, home, and shared identity through architectural innovation. It raises the question: can rebuilding a home provide ideas for rebuilding a community, a city, or even a country?

Robert Mondavi Winery Transformation / Aidlin Darlin Design

27 May 2026 @ 10:00 am

The new Robert Mondavi Winery aims to re-establish the winery's position as the soul of Napa Valley fine wine, encompassing every aspect of the brand and its home, as well as its ongoing commitment to Napa Valley, its local community, and its global standing. Central to this transformation is the winery's iconic architecture in Napa Valley, known worldwide for its distinctive arch and tower. The original winery, designed by Cliff May in 1966, had become increasingly compromised and disconnected from the surrounding landscape after a series of ad hoc expansions. "Over the years, the winery's growth had taken its toll, making it feel unorganized, inward looking, industrial, and 'heavy on heavy'.

Vertical Extension and Refurbishment of Collège Rousseau / Burckhardt

27 May 2026 @ 6:00 am

The heritage- protected Collège Rousseau in Geneva, built in 1969 by Alain Ritter, is a remarkable example of Brutalism. Not only did the building's condition require refurbishment, but an extension was also needed to cope with the increased of students. Burckhardt won the architectural design competition in 2018 with a proposal that emphasizes continuity and yet breaks with it: From the outside, the added story extends the existing façade with its striking relief of finished concrete components in such a way that the addition is only recognizable at second glance. Inside, however, the intervention presents itself as a light and airy wooden construction that exudes a cozy atmosphere.
