Foster + Partners has revealed the designs for community rowing organisation Row New York’s new
boathouse, located in Sherman Creek Park on the Harlem River in New York City. The new Harlem
Boathouse recalls this tradition with a simple rectilinear structure made entirely from wood. The new
building is fully accessible – a generous plaza sits in front of the building. The lower level contains an
expanded storage for boats, which is designed to withstand severe flooding events, while the upper level
features a large multi-purpose hall alongside changing rooms and classrooms for after school
programmes. The boathouse is shaded by a large folding timber canopy that sails over the structure,
cantilevering over the plaza and terrace and providing shelter from the sun.

the 21-year-old aviation hub. Lead8’s design scope includes a total overhaul and upgrade of the
49 boarding gates and adjacent areas of the Level 6 departure concourses. Contemporary seating designs
with upgraded charging facilities will provide passengers with “convenient and comfortable waiting

© LeadBDG architecture + design have completed the
new Amsterdam campus for WPP. The Rivierstaete
building has been transformed from a large
traditional office building into a 19,000 m^2
“innovative and creative workplace.” The exterior
of the building, once dominated by white mosaic
tiles, have been largely replaced with floor to
ceiling windows. The original concrete structure
has been maintained, retaining the character of
the building. The roofs, which vary in height, have
been transformed into terraces for employees and
guests, connecting the inside and outside.The
spacious eight metre high reception and lobby
area is an impressive arrival, with the striking
staircase creating visual and physical connectivity.WPP CAMPUS, THE NETHERLANDS
BDG ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN© Gareth GardnerWaugh Thistleton Architects has conceived what
they describe as a “visionary project in Norway to
create a zero carbon community for all” consisting
of 1,500 homes and a cultural hub on Store
Lungegårdsvann lake in Bergen. A new boardwalk
spanning the lake forms the central spine of the
project with a variety of new homes located just
behind. Trenezia is “an exemplar of environmental
design,” said the architects. With a state of the art
timber construction, CO 2 emissions from the
construction and during the lifetime of the project
will be minimised. The environmentally responsive
design, low energy consumption, low water
consumption and low waste generation form the
pillars of the technical design.TRENEZIA, NORWAY
