MIRA, San Francisco US
Status: under construction
This 122m high residential tower development in centre of San Francisco is located just blocks away from the Bay Bridge. Studio Gang’s design is a vertical reinterpretation of the city’s architectural traditons – the classic bay window, as seen in San Francisco’s early houses, is reimagined in a high-rise context in response to the city’s need for dense housing. Twisting incrementally over the height of the tower, the bays bring views and natural light to the interiors, elevating every residence into a corner unit. The sophisticated curtain wall façade and water harvesting system, green roofs, and high-efficiency fixtures, make the building sustainable in its construction, as well as its future.

Beloit College Powerhouse, Wisconsin US
Status: under construction
Studio Gang is remodelling a former coal-burning power plant for Beloit College. The powerhouse, which is located between the College’s campus and the Rock River, will be a student union focused on recreation and wellness including a fitness centre, running track, swimming pool, student loungers, conference centre and lecture hall. Studio Gang’s main challenge is to bring an efficient energy plan to the 100-year-old original structure – the plan includes addressing heat flow through the building skin with radiant panels that make use of the energy from the river water.

Amsterdam Tower, the Netherlands
Status: in design
Located in Amsterdam-Zuid, this residential development is a response to an urgent need for housing in the community. The design is informed by the surrounding 1950s concrete architecture, yet extends this fabric upwards. Two volumes – a high rise and a low rise – together contain 250 residences. An evolution of the rational and rectilinear modernist blocks, the corners of the structures are cropped to expand resident’s views and create visual connections across the building.

Studio Gang sculpted this office tower in response to the sun to create the right balance of solar access. The site location on the edge of Manhattan between the High Line park and the Hudson River was strategic to this. The building was developed alongside the studio’s ongoing research into tall buildings and solar carving. Photography: Kris Tamburello

California College of the Arts, San Francisco US
Status: in design
Studio Gang’s design for CCA’s campus is an indoor and outdoor environment that connects disciplines in new ways. CCA, founded during the Arts and Crafts movement, encompasses a broad spectrum of art and design subjects across two campuses. Studio Gang’s design aims to create an ecosystem of people, ideas, and practices by extending the main academic building of the existing San Francisco campus into a new campus yard. The layered environment is flexible to future evolutions and meets the city’s design and innovation district. Courtesy Studio Gang and Tom Harris
