With three Ports1961 Flagship Stores, critically acclaimed Indian restaurant Tashan, an upper east side hair salon, and the VIP Salon in the Tribeca Grand Hotel under our belt, we thought it fitting to share a few of the best images from each project.
Word has reached us from one of our friends visiting Paris and popped in our Ports1961 Store on Rue St. Honore. The staff informed them as they admired the interior that “many people come in to shop, not only for the clothes but also because they catch a glimpse of an amazing interior”. We liked that bit, of course, and thought we’d share it with you!
Our tower entry for the 4,000,000 sqft Al Sowwah Island Central Plaza competition was one of three to make it the final round of judging. The two mixed use towers containing office spaces, residential units, and boutique hotel react to the surrounding urban and environmental constraints to create crystallized performance based organic formations.
Archi-tectonics was one of three firms invited to participate in the Holon “City Center” competition. The program called for a revitalized city center that included municipal functions, spec office space, residential towers, ground level retail, and a concert hall. See below our proposal for this 55,000 m2 mixed use development. Take a look at the write up on ArchHeb.com. The text is in Hebrew but the images are all there and quite informative.
Go to the blog Arch-Heb for more images of our work! Thank you.
An avid reader of our blog was so inspired by our Ports1961 Paris project that this poem was penned:
Ports1961
An outstanding haven it will be.
This house, like the wearings it presents.
Shielded comfort, a place for oneself.
Preparing the next voyage.
up to the new year!!!
