Manhattan’s Tribeca, by architect Andrew Franz

Designed by architect Andrew Franz, this 1884 six-story building in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood still has its brick walls and 16-foot-high beamed ceilings, but now it also has new steel, glass, tile, and lacquer sections, along with a relocated mezzanine featuring a sunken interior court with a retractable glass roof that transitions to a green roof garden up above. Energy-efficient mechanical systems and appliances are used throughout the space, with plenty of locally sourced products in the mix as well, and the new roof terrace uses reclaimed bluestone pavers and native plant species that barely need any water to thrive.

This is a quiet period when I worked at home, some photo with life around me to see it moving every day.

Highbury Square residential.

Highbury Square transforms an early and important example of a British football stadium, previously the home of Arsenal Football Club, into a residential community. It preserves the nature and memory of the original arena while developing a new residential typology which contributes to the rich, local grain of streets, avenues and squares.

The original East and West stands are converted into apartments with a new central garden set between them. New residential blocks replace the North and South stands. This unique example of urban infill creates a contemporary London square, complemented by a series of new and smaller residential courtyards which connect back into the garden through large portal gates.
