The Best of Both Worlds : Housing: Ornate landmark hotel in Pasadena is a rare example of low-income residents living in the same building with affluent condo owners.

I think it's probably the only one of its kind you'll ever see. Subsidized housing is usually in low-income areas. It would be like bringing Compton and Beverly Hills together in one block.

Ramand Mixed-Use building / White Cube Atelier

Ramand is, before being a project, a decision—a decision about how a cube can stand on a dual-cornered site without compromising its own geometry and without disregarding the city. The wooden volume is a controlled rotation, neither a formal gesture nor an exaggeration; merely the minimal deviation required for the form to settle into the site.

Front Place Chiyoda Ichibancho / Mitsubishi Jisho Design Inc.

This tenant office building stands just steps from a subway station in the Ichibancho district of Tokyo's Chiyoda Wardan area near the Imperial Palace (the former Edo Castle), steeped in history and culture. Conventional tenant office buildings generally house multiple companies within a single structure, yet their facades fail to reflect the diversity within. On top of this, they lack a sense of connection with the surrounding community and contribute little to the streetscape or the character of the local neighborhood.

SPARK 761_Beijing Digital Economy AIDC / llLab.

Located in the core area of Jiuxianqiao, Chaoyang District, Beijing, it is the only artificial intelligence computing power park within the central urban area of Beijing. The architectural concept overturns the traditional, enclosed data and information center systems, enabling society, people, and activities to coexist with the building, its contents, and the invisible world of intelligent information. Beyond the intelligent computing rooms, energy-related support, and functional hardware requirements, the building manifests as a physical grid system under sunlight.
