Mithun’s Meadows Apartments at Princeton delivers 604 units of Passive House–certified student housing through a prefabricated wood-frame structure and a rigorously tuned building envelope. Locally sourced, low-embodied-carbon materials pair with geothermal systems and high-performance acoustics to elevate comfort and efficiency. The result: an affordable, district-integrated community built 35% below typical campus housing costs. https://buff.ly/tQPmTw4 #PassiveHouseDesign #LowCarbonBuilding #PrefabricatedArchitecture

White Arkitekter transforms a condemned 1970s structure into Lumi, now the world’s highest-rated LEED v4 office building. With 80% of the concrete frame retained, three timber levels added, and extensive reuse—from doors to aluminium roof sheets—the project halves the climate impact of a comparable new build. Slate cladding, integrated solar panels, and a precision BIM workflow anchor its circular strategy. https://buff.ly/FNqPPSv #CircularArchitecture #AdaptiveReuse #MaterialIntelligence

For the FRAC Centre collection, architects Véronique Descharrières and Sophie Berthelier craft a pavilion defined by a rhythmic timber frame, reinforced with steel and aluminum, and wrapped in recycled polycarbonate. Its dual-sided wooden tiers shape an adaptable forum—part meeting place, part lab—inviting visitors into new spatial and social practices. https://buff.ly/gqZQ49K #MaterialLogic #TimberAndLight #ContemporaryPavilion

At Frabala store in Athens, So Far Studio shapes a calm, contemporary interior through material clarity — mosaic flooring retained as memory, two-tone walls grounding the space, and warm timber paired with concrete blocks. Custom displays and soft textiles refine the experience while keeping craftsmanship visibly at the center. https://buff.ly/R82TvlY #MaterialDrivenDesign #ContemporaryRetailSpace

HOK’s Seattle studio channels regional character through material clarity and craft. Exposed waffle-slab ceilings, concrete floors, digitally fabricated wood–Corian elements, and warm timber–plaster finishes build a sustainable, tactile workplace. Flexible team rooms, biophilic textures, and daylight-rich spaces shape an adaptable, low-carbon environment. https://buff.ly/gWFKMgX #MaterialDrivenDesign #CraftedWorkplace #PacificNorthwestDesign

Perkins&Will shapes a refined São Paulo office through crafted materials and precise detailing. Curved ceilings, American oak millwork, terrazzo flooring, fabric-lined walls, and a striking soapstone counter set a warm, sophisticated tone. Controlled lighting and LEED-focused systems reinforce comfort with environmental performance. https://buff.ly/FlhQSwa #MaterialCraft #RefinedWorkplace #DesignMethod

Point House applies a precise material strategy and passive climatic logic to deliver generous living within a compact footprint. CLT floors, insulated steel framing, mineral-coated fibre cement, and low-E glazing work with a central double-height courtyard to regulate light, airflow, and temperature—proving spatial quality can be sustainably crafted at any scale. https://buff.ly/WuqLUrL #MaterialIntelligence #PassiveDesign #UrbanLiving

The Confluence Library uses sculpted shelving, flowing spatial lines, and crafted timber forms to evoke a river of knowledge. Curved partitions, sail-like book displays, and controlled light create an immersive learning landscape where materials guide movement and encourage exploration. https://buff.ly/bbFl9QR #MaterialDrivenDesign #CraftedInteriors #LearningSpaces
