Port Service Building, Heams & Michel Architectes
Cannes, France
Part of the port’s service systems are hidden, submerged into the water underneath the unassuming new building. Above water, the new structure is carefully placed on a concrete base that doesn’t compromise the precious machinery below. The main body is modest, made of wood with mesh covered openings, ideal for letting sea breeze in.

The House Of The Arts, Svendborg Architects

The House Of The Arts, Svendborg Architects
Roskilde, Denmark
Located in the neighbourhood of Kildegaarden, the project is part of the area’s new masterplan, which also incorporates a square for sitting, playing and events and performances. The House Of The Arts sits subtly as a key component within this new urban landscape, cutting a contemporary figure with its metal, wood and concrete design. Large openings connect it seamlessly with the outdoor areas of the overall plan, while bringing plenty of light inside.

The House of the Arts, Svendborg Architects
Roskilde, Denmark
The minimalist interiors maintain a softly industrial feel, yet are sharp and elegant, featuring concrete floors, timber ceilings and abundant natural light; there’s side and top-lit areas, perfect for the production of visual arts. The large main room can be subdivided into different spaces for further flexibility in use. Meanwhile, the red-tinted anodised aluminium sheets that make up the exterior abstractly reflect the surroundings.

Pettypool Campsite and Activity Centre, Walker Simpson Architects
Cheshire, UK
Set within rich woodland, this girlguiding lodge and activity centre in the heart of Cheshire is designed by Manchester-based Walker Simpson Architects. Replacing an older, existing building that was no longer in use, the project includes accommodation for both the Guides and Leaders, plus space for support staff, an activity centre and a kitchen. Clad in vertical planks and placed among trees, the structure becomes a seamless part of the forest around it.
