The construction of Trípolis Park, which renovates and transforms one of the last projects completed by the celebrated Dutch modernist architect Aldo van Eyck, is complete. On behalf of developer Flow, MVRDV restored two of the three listed heritage buildings in line with Van Eyck’s original designs and added a 12-storey “landscraper” along the edge of the site to shelter the complex (which includes Van Eyck’s Amsterdam Orphanage next door) from noise and dust generated by the adjacent A10 highway. The new building is careful in its relationship with the heritage buildings, keeping a respectful distance so that an exciting in-between space emerges where the two meet, with bridges crossing overhead to connect old and new.

Rock Capital has revealed MVRDV’s design for MONACO, a six-storey office building that continues the transformation of Munich’s Werksviertel neighbourhood.
Positioned just a stone’s throw from WERK12, MVRDV’s previous contribution to the Werksviertel, MONACO is another highlight building which aims to infuse the district with a sense of levity, this time through warm, playful materials and a building layout that expresses a clear synergy between “work” and “play”. This synergy reflects a new philosophy for office spaces that gives as much importance to collaboration, bonding with coworkers, and letting off steam as it does to traditional desk work.

Pixel features 525 apartments together with shops, offices, and amenities, taking an innovative approach to designing residential complexes in the Emirates. Central to this effort is the communal plaza at the heart of the development, where the seven towers “break down” into formations of terraces and bay windows, complete with shading screens of tiles in 14 subtle pastel colours inspired by the appearance of a pearl.

MVRDV has completed a pair of special, family-friendly hotel suites inside the Shenzhen Women & Children’s Centre, a 100-metre-tall tower that MVRDV also recently transformed from its outdated and underperforming original design to a colourful, welcoming facility for the welfare of women and children. With flexibility as their guiding principle, the two suites offer the option to be combined into one shared space for larger families, and are animated by the metre-thick inhabited wall that curves through the space, with colourful niches that provide various functions – from expected items such as closets and desks, to fun additions such as toy cupboards and hidden bunk beds.
