With rising sea levels, severe storms, and increased flooding, today’s buildings must account for the climate change risks of tomorrow. Columbia University's new Philip & Cheryl Milstein Family Tennis Center is the future of flood-resilient architecture, rethinking how structures interact with water. Instead of trying to keep water out, the facility is intentionally designed to let it in.

Can university housing save downtowns? UC Law SF (formerly UC Hastings) is pioneering a solution in San Francisco. By blending educational spaces with below-market apartments for students, faculty, and staff at several downtown colleges and universities, the “Academic Village” at UC Law SF aims to provide housing and catalyze a community revival.

A new chapter is unfolding for Sabará Children’s Hospital at the corner of Rua dos Pinheiros and Avenida Rebouças. Designed by our São Paulo studio, this future pediatric complex is set to become one of the largest of its kind in Latin America. The project represents a pivotal moment for the city, transforming the Pinheiros neighborhood into a thriving urban center. Building on a legacy that began in 1962, the hospital will continue Sabará’s mission to create spaces that nurture and promote children's development. “The new hospital reflects Sabará’s core belief: that children are developing human beings and need spaces and processes that support their full potential,” says Cristiane D'Andrea from the foundation’s expansion center. The building’s design reflects this vision. With its oval, rounded facade evoking the comfort of a hug, the architecture emphasizes flow and receptivity, creating a welcoming space for young patients. Stay tuned for the grand opening of this exciting new landmark!

Our West End Labs (WEL) project is "making a statement" on the latest cover of Interior Design Magazine!   Originally built in the 1920s to move and repair cars, the reinforced concrete structure and automotive helix of 125 West End Avenue now move ideas within a fresh physical and cultural framework. Reimagining the look, feel, and systems for cutting-edge research and development, this New York gem on the mostly residential Upper West Side has been adaptively reused and transformed into a modern hub for life sciences. Today, WEL inspires the next generation of scientific discoveries and innovations.   “The charge was to make the building smart, attractive, and effective for potential tenants, to organize it for a variety of start-ups and accommodate them as they grow over time,” says Bill Harris, our Northeast regional director.
