DISCUS, SWEDEN BELATCHEW ARKITEKTER
Belatchew Arkitekter has, on behalf of Swedish real estate developer Sveafastigheter Utveckling, designed Discus, a new landmark high rise in central Nacka, a district located to the south east of Stockholm. Discus, with its irregular silhouette is “designed to become a symbol of a growing metropolitan area,” said the architects. The new building will be placed in the heart of Nacka’s new public transport node, right above the metro station in Nacka City's new city center. Discus will consist of about 30 floors and will accommodate 450 to 500 apartments of different sizes, together with commercial and public facilities, creating an “active and vibrant” place.
COFCO JOY BREEZE, CHINA BENOY
Benoy has won an international competition for the COFCO Joy Breeze project in Suzhou, China, beating strong competition from several leading design firms. Spanning 300,000 m2
, the mixed-
use project brings together a retail mall, transport hub and parking facilities. The various sections are linked by a multi-level thoroughfare that runs through each floor and ensures the scheme can be navigated as a whole. Through the openness of its design, the multiple entry points and extensive street frontage, the Joy Breeze development also integrates with its surrounding urban and natural environments and the nearby residential areas.
FJORDENHUS, DENMARK STUDIO OLAFUR ELIASSON
Fjordenhus (Fjord House), the first building designed entirely by artist Olafur Eliasson and the architectural team at Studio Olafur Eliasson, opened in June in Vejle, Denmark. Appearing to “rise out of the water”, Fjordenhus, said the architects, “forges a striking new connection between Vejle Fjord and the city centre of Vejle”. Formed by four intersecting cylinders, Fjordenhus soars to a height of 28 m. Rounded “negative volumes” have been carved from its facades of custom-glazed brick to create an architectural statement of complex curved, circular, and elliptical forms, torqueing walls and parabolic arches. In its unique setting the building highlights Vejle’s future as a centre not just for today’s generation but also for generations to come. Olafur Eliasson commented: “The curving walls of the building transform our perception of it as we move through its spaces. I hope the residents of Vejle will embrace Fjordenhus and identify with it as a new landmark for the harbour and their city.”
