The Hopetoun is a showcase and an oasis. FGR's signature design understatement sees the fully integrated design of calm exterior and lively, animated interiors. Liveability is the underlying driver in a design that moulds to the site and our clients' lifestyle. The Hopetoun's geometric form is one of ordered spatial clarity. FGR's ambition for real generosity throughout combines commercial-grade components and scale matched with carefully nuanced, contemplative spaces. 

Located in Ascázubi, at the foot of Pambamarca Hill, the project originated as a refuge: a space for pause and contemplation for bike park users seeking shelter from the harsh Andean climate.

Ložionica's revitalization project transforms Belgrade's historic railway site through adaptive reuse and new structures, offering a unique mix of offices, public spaces, and cultural programs within a challenging urban context. The site represents a few of the remaining industrial heritage mementos of the Belgrade riverfront area, which has been undergoing significant urbanization over the past few decades. This led to the announcement of an open architectural competition in 2021 by the Office for IT and eGovernment of the Republic of Serbia and the national platform Serbia Creates, organized by the Association of Architects of Serbia. The brief asked for a new home for all creative industries to meet under one roof, a multifunctional open public space, and the addition of one new mixed-use office building.

The prefabricated concrete building with a white sheet metal roof renews the tradition of the Po Valley agricultural landscape, historically characterized by the presence of elementary volumes defined by simple Euclidean geometries.

Having thrown a stone today, Eshu kills a bird of yesterday. The Yoruba proverb tells both a story of reparation and of ancestrality by joyfully bending spacetime conventions and accessing subjects from the past with present actions. The saying offers a poetic entry point to broader West African traditions and to the practice of Scottish-Nigerian artist and architect Dele Adeyemo. Named one of the winners of the ArchDaily 2025 Next Practices Awards, Adeyemo's work brings together ecology, spirituality, dance, and territory, examining how embodied cultural practices can generate alternative spatial possibilities within and against the architecture of racial capitalism.

The historic row of houses at Oberamteistraße 28–32, along with the surviving basement of the "Stone House" that had occupied plot no. 34, but was demolished in 1972, are among the oldest and most interesting buildings in the former free imperial city of Reutlingen. These architectural artifacts date back to the 13th century, when the city of Reutlingen was founded. The ensemble is therefore one of the oldest rows of houses in southern Germany, authentically reflecting the development of building and living culture over the centuries.

The city of Barcelona has announced the five finalist teams selected to advance in the international competition for Liceu Mar, a new cultural venue planned for the Port Vell waterfront.

Bringing together a group of internationally recognized and locally rooted practices, the shortlist underscores the project's global relevance, with the winning proposal expected to be announced in autumn 2026.

Omar Gandhi Architects, the Canadian architecture studio, completes a stunning suspended coastal residential project. Set along the rugged Atlantic coastline of Nova Scotia, East River Residence is a house suspended within its environment—a quiet settlement on the shoreline that responds closely to the land, the weather, and the shifting horizon.

Kanye West turning a Tadao Ando Malibu beach house into a ruin, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi purchasing and re-selling the 1955 Richard Neutra-designed Brown-Sidney House, and fashion designer Marc Jacobs renovating a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house near New York City are just a few examples of pop stars' affair with historically significant architecture. Celebrities, like soccer players, form an elite grou

Trees are often the first things to vanish when construction starts. Clearing a site has long been one of architecture's most immediate acts, removing what already exists to make room for something new. When vegetation is preserved, it is typically treated as a secondary layer, added back as landscape rather than shaping the project itself.
