Twelve Architects have been given the go ahead for a £120m retail and leisure destination in the
Russian city of Perm. This is the practice’s second major retail project in the country, following its
design of the 120,000 m^2 VEER development in Ekaterinburg. The 152,000 m^2 development will
house a retail and leisure mall, art gallery, conference centre and a 175-bed hotel. The project is the
landmark development within the overall regeneration of Perm’s Kama River Promenade and central
Esplanade park. The vision for the external form is to create a distinctive identity more akin to a major
public building to attract retailers and the general public, taking a lead from Perm’s culture of
performing arts and civic sculptures.

BDG architecture + design is working with WPP on its latest colocation programme of investments to
bring agencies together under one roof. The 28,000 m^2 building, located at 145-149 rue Anatole France
in Levallois-Perret, is currently undergoing a significant restructuring by owner developers Ardian and
LaSalle Investment Management. Split over eight floors, the world-class workspace will be designed to
“encourage greater creativity and closer collaboration, and give clients easier access to WPP’s talent and
expertise” said the architects. The campus will include a double-height auditorium, co-working areas,
restaurants, two gardens and a rooftop terrace with 360° views of the city. The new campus for agencies
in Paris is due to open in 2021.

BDG ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN
Designed by architectural studio CetraRuddy,
RoseHill, a new 45-storey residential tower in the
NoMad neighbourhood in Manhattan is near
completion. Rising over 600 ft, Rose Hill pays
homage to the city’s historic skyscraper
architecture, while being a “building of the future
that has been created for contemporary urban
living,” said the architects. The building is clad in
a “bronze-tone” facade, accented by intricate
detailing that frames expansive glass windows.
Taking its place among New York’s architectural
icons and inspired by the Rockefeller Group’s
landmark developments, decorative lighting will
illuminate the tower’s base and crown to highlight
the building’s “unique articulation.”ROSE HILL, USA
