🛠️ Mission Rock development - San Francisco 🌉 The Mission Rock development in San Francisco is a remarkable project transforming the city's waterfront. This ambitious initiative includes multiple high-profile buildings, totaling over 3 million square feet of residential, office, retail, and public spaces with structural steel playing a pivotal role. The project incorporates an estimated 5,000 tons of structural steel, highlighting the scale and complexity of the construction. Its innovative design aims for LEED Gold certification and prioritizes sustainability while creating a dynamic urban environment. Mission Rock is set to include a mix of uses such as 537 new apartments, office spaces, and a waterfront park. Reflecting the strength of San Francisco’s construction and steel industries, Mission Rock stands as a testament to blending structural innovation with dynamic urban living. An incredible achievement for the city and the teams behind it! 🏗️ #MissionRockSF #StructuralSteel #UrbanDevelopment #Sustainability #LEEDGold #SanFranciscoConstruction #SteelInnovation #UrbanLiving #WaterfrontDevelopment #SmartCities #ModernArchitecture #SteelIndustry #EngineeringExcellence #ConstructionTrends

Last week, we were lucky enough to attend the The Architecture Symposium: Readymade, presented by @designspeaks_au and curated by Jennie Officer and Nigel Bertram. ⁠ ⁠ Readymade offered an approach to combating Victoria’s current housing shortage and affordability crisis, by shifting the focus away from redundancy and towards retention and renewal of existing building stock. ⁠ ⁠ One of the many highlights was Ingrid Bakker’s presentation of Hassell’s research ‘Radical Re-Use: From Office to Home’. Their research addresses the potential conversion of existing office buildings into residential complexes and proposes a paradigm shift in urban development that can be applied across cities around Australia and internationally. ⁠ ⁠ The research proffers that about 6.5% of Melbourne’s CBD office buildings are ‘ripe for radical re-use,’ with the potential to yield 10,000−12,000 new apartments and house up to 20,000 people. This approach would not only significantly add to Melbourne’s housing supply, but would uphold sustainability principles, including a reduction in upfront embodied carbon and the preservation of existing architectural assets.⁠ ⁠ Hassell’s approach envisions a revitalised urban landscape that accommodates diverse lifestyles while also contributing to a regenerative future and breathing new life into our city.⁠ ⁠ #housingaffordability #reuse #refurbish #rejuvenate #housing

Skyscrapers represent the pinnacle of modern construction and architectural design, rising up as symbols of innovation and progress. With cities becoming increasingly populated, the demand for space grows while available land remains constant. Skyscrapers address this challenge efficiently by extending the urban landscape vertically. Utilizing a relatively small footprint, these towering structures enable a larger number of people and businesses to occupy a single plot of land. As a result, they conserve valuable urban space and help reduce sprawl, leading to more sustainable city planning. Moreover, skyscrapers often incorporate the latest in green technology and design, setting new standards for energy-efficient and eco-friendly urban living.

1 Southside Park - Brickell's Ambitious Mixed-Use Development Evolves 🔊 JDS Development Group has unveiled revised plans for 1 Southside Park, a transformative mixed-use project set to redefine Brickell's skyline. Now featuring three towers instead of the originally proposed single supertall structure. The updated design includes a 64-story residential tower with 1,175 apartments, a 54-story office tower offering 1.5 million square feet of Class A space, and a 20-story, 200-key hotel. Notably, the project will integrate with the existing Fire Station No. 4, preserving local heritage while introducing modern architectural elements. This project showcases the dynamic nature of large-scale urban development. The revised plans demonstrate adaptability to market demands and regulatory requirements, while maintaining an innovative approach to mixed-use design. The development's scale and complexity present unique challenges and opportunities in construction management, sustainable building practices, and urban integration. As Brickell continues to evolve, 1 Southside Park stands as a testament to the construction industry's pivotal role in shaping Miami's urban landscape.

Here's a throwback to our 2010 Woodlawn House project in Toronto, where we transformed the western half of a semi-detached building with sustainable features like reclaimed brick cladding and triple-glazed windows. Even back then sustainability was on our mind. Views from the top are the best! Back in 2010, green roofs were emerging as an innovative solution, but today, they are more common than ever. Even though it's a challenge to maintain in a colder climate, it's an aesthetic some may desire, and we are here for it. While green roofs help reduce the urban heat island effect and give back the green space, maybe even contribute to improving air quality. We've learned that a well-executed green roof requires careful planning, a team of green roof experts and architects working alongside building science professionals. For this project, we balanced aesthetics with functionality, carefully considering drainage, insulation, accessibility, and long-term maintenance, all while meeting budget expectations.

The public realm refers to publicly accessible spaces that have the potential to facilitate interaction, movement, and activities within a community and city. City builders consider the public realm to be the space between buildings, including streets, sidewalks, parks, plazas, and other open spaces. City builders focus on creating and enhancing the public realm to ensure it is inclusive, accessible, and beneficial for all members of the community. This involves considering factors like design, infrastructure, landscaping, and maintenance to create functional and appealing public spaces. The public realm is a critical aspect of urban planning for several reasons, including promoting social interactions, creating inclusive and accessible spaces, supporting local businesses through increased foot traffic, promoting Eyes on the Street, and embracing natural environmental features. #yyc #yycliving #architecture #urbanplanning #planning #urbandesign #design

Read our latest #housing #insight #paper: Repurposing redundant offices into much-needed housing. With an enviable track-record in #Residential design, Chapman Taylor is experienced in transforming existing structures into high-quality, attractive, and sustainable living spaces by repurposing stranded assets and incorporating innovative, considered #materials. Our commitment to #ResponsibleDesign, #placemaking, and #wellbeing integrates a keen focus on whole-life carbon tracking, ensuring our retrofit projects minimise environmental impact from inception through end-of-life. Adopting circular economy principles, we breathe new life into underutilised properties, significantly reducing waste and carbon emissions.   From city centre gateway apartment towers to Build-to-Rent community schemes, residential villages surrounded by nature, student apartments, and private for-sale residences, we are at the forefront of sustainable reuse and rejuvenation. Embracing adaptive reuse strategies, we convert redundant office spaces into much-needed housing, aligning with post-pandemic demands and emphasising the importance of reducing the carbon footprint throughout the building’s lifecycle. In this Insight paper, we explore this innovative approach to sustainable development. https://lnkd.in/gUTAX-KW #Retrofit #AdaptiveReuse #CircularEconomy #OfficetoResidential #MaterialReuse #Sustainability #EmbodiedCarbon #Refurbishment #Reuse #Repurposing #AssetTransformation #architects #masterplanners #interiordesigners #Residential #ResidentialArchitects #ResidentialArchitecture #HousingCrises #HousingShortage
