102 The Mill, designed by Carter Williamson, preserves Balmain’s industrial and varied history while creating an inspiring and generous home. 102 The Mill stands as an example of architecture that allows its residents to feel safe and secure, confident and expressive, quiet and reflective; a philosophy of Carter Williamson. 102 The Mill captures the gritty feel of industrial Balmain, the resulting home sitting with an inevitability, blending in with its inner Sydney surroundings, yet striking forward as a jewel of contemporary Australian architecture.
Carter Williamson is a design studio with a strong commitment to rigorous, beautiful, and robust architecture. The belief that design quality can make a real difference in how we live, work and move through our world is central to how we work. The architecture is playful, clever, crafted, and thoughtful; responsive to client and brief and a joy to be in. We relish the opportunity and challenge of working across various projects and scales, from public and commercial, residential to multi-residential, and everything in between.

The main steel structure was also exposed, along with the existing red brick wall along the west to create an industrial warehouse aesthetic.
SFU Burnaby Plaza Renewal, designed by Public: Architecture + Communication, involves a permeable paving system and replaced existing clay tiles with Canadian granite. Breathing new life into an historic public space sets a precedent for renewal over replacement and also preserves important cultural heritage of the 1960s with its inspired goals of dialogue, interdisciplinary work, and landscape integration for future generations.
Public: Architecture + Communication builds culture and shapes identity by creating spatial experiences beyond buildings to the city at large, capable of spurring transformation, engagement, and renewal. They work with people passionate about building collective experience and memory–who understand that small interventions woven throughout the city can have as bold an impact on community as megaprojects.
This is the idea behind a 15-minute city – a way to make urban living less stressful and more sustainable. A 15-minute city has affordable, accessible, and adaptable housing for households of all sizes and ages. It is easy to get goods and services, healthcare, fresh groceries, and all other amenities. People can work close to home or work remotely more often. Many major cities such as Paris, Melbourne, Detroit, Portland, and Ottawa have been working on similar concepts.
Connect House, designed by Story Architecture, connects people to people, people to nature, and each to themselves. The team designed the living space and the relaxed space for each member to mix together, so they could support each other and truly become one family.
RC House, designed by Architects+Co, is an L-shaped residence designed to see the sun all day long in the leisure area. The façade reveals the Arc+Co wood panel, an element that allies aesthetics and allows ventilation and natural light in the environments while guaranteeing privacy to the interiors. The L-shaped residence is distributed in two blocks: the leisure and living areas are concentrated in one of them.
Architects+Co is a global architecture and design practice based in Brazil, with an eye on the world to create unique projects. The firm has a portfolio consisting of private homes, luxury hotels, restaurants, and unique buildings, such as furniture and authorial panels.

Child Care Center, designed by Equipo de Arquitectura, is born from a set of intentions directed to create an impact on future generations. Architecture as matter, space, light, and its integration into nature. As raw materials are grouped in walls, Earth draws the floor plan to create the living spaces. This is how a common and ordinary suburban city block corner becomes the center of knowledge, a center of learning, a sower of the seeds that one day was planted there, and that little by little, the world will witness its fruits.
Terrazza, designed by M3H, is a sculptural building that establishes a connection with the neighborhood on every side. A private, residential building for the entire neighborhood! The public-friendly character is even more reflected in the design of the building. Craftsmanship and variation are central themes in this project. Staggered balconies and alternating large fronts and slit windows provide a lively and spatial image. It is an open space where anyone can meet, socialize and enjoy a bit of green in the new district of Amsterdam.
The architecture of Machiel Spaan (M3H Architecten), based in Amsterdam, negotiates between the city, inhabitants, and materials. A hallmark of Spaan’s approach is an active engagement with the design question, taking confluence as a starting point. Questioning the physical, social, and historical context in an ongoing process towards innovation of the architectural form. Patterns, colours, and crafts unrafel a history, past, and future.
