Carton Levert House
A house and office in County Donegal, in the west of Ireland, make a refreshing change from much of the depressing housing that has gone up in the country in the last few decades. Responding to very specific requirements from the clients for notions of retreat and also flexibility, the buildings are uncompromisingly modern, while making deliberate references to the material palettes of local agricultural buildings.

Harley Davidson
The new Harley Davidson showroom in Auvergne (France) makes maximum use of a vibrant corporate colour scheme to draw in customers. The building is one of the most important Harley Davidson showrooms in Europe and needed to be approved by head office in the United States before the design was finalised. The result is landmark representation of the company’s identity.

IT Fornebu
You can’t miss the portal building at IT Fornebu. Set between four intelligently designed but monochrome office blocks on the site of the former Oslo airport in Norway is this brilliant shock of orange, a building that manages to be arresting without being garish, to stand out without seeming incongruous.
