CEG Yancheng Kaiyuan Street
Upmarket apartments for an affluent Chinese clientele were built to suitably high standards. Baumschlager Eberle Architekten’s design combines convincing architectural quality with a high percentage of south-facing units, where the balconies provided sufficient sun protection.

Isla Brown Corinthia
The total remake of the iconic “Hanikian” hotel, dating in the Mid-1970's, is informed by the topography of its legendary location on the Corinthian Gulf, introducing a new identity.

The design concept for the new, 166-room hotel, highlights the material and sensual properties of its location on

Csík Ferenc Swimming Pool, Sopron
When designing the new swimming pool, built in place of the demolished old one, the most important goal of the architect was to fit it to the beautiful environment of the Lövérek hills and to leave most of the site free as a green space.

Koyo
The black dynamic structure floats above the edge of the slope. Due to the small and difficult to build on sloping land, the living space and the garden are elevated to the top level.
