Student Housing
How do you house students at a new university? This was the dilemma that faced architects Te Kiefte Architecten when asked to provide temporary student accommodation for a new university that was founded at The Hague in the Netherlands. Eventually the university will build permanent accommodation but for the present it needed studio rooms for 122 students – plus some common facilities – with a planned lifespan of five years.

Head office of the Parish Council
The first thing you notice when you look at the new head office of the Parish Council of São Pedro Fins in Portugal’s Oporto region is a shiny metal cube tilted onto its edge. So strong is this impression that you could come away from a cursory view of the building, believing that this is all that it consists of.

Carcemal headquarters
Carcemal is a major textile producer which has been operating in Portugal for many years. In 2012, the company decided to completely renovate the site they had occupied since 1995. Their goal was to create a headquarters which was more in line with the company’s brand image, and to offer employees a place they would be proud to work.
