The starting point: an awkwardly shaped lot High above the city centre, halfway between the mountains and the sea, there is a building that nobody can fail to notice: 'U Pavayun' proudly showcases the principality’s official colours – white and red – in a way uniquely its own. By combining vivid colours inspired by nature with a bold and modern architectural concept, the building maximises the visual impact of its ventilated façades. To add thermal efficiency to the cladding’s enduring beauty, external insulation has been integrated into the façade system.

At a groundbreaking research facility, a single worktop solution covers the whole spectrumAs the fourth oldest university in the UK, the university of Glasgow, founded in 1451, has a long tradition of fostering the talents of scientists and scholars across many disciplines. It has been home to seven nobel laureates as well as world-famous luminaries, including the physicist lord kelvin and adam smith, one of the founding fathers of modern economics. With the arc, its advanced research centre, the university is addressing the research challenges of the 21st century by opening unprecedented, cross-disciplinary perspectives to world-leading scientists. Andrew Tobin, professor of molecular pharmacology and the arc’s founding director, brings it to the point: “the arc, and the principles behind it, have been a long-term goal of the university. As a name, it encompasses our vision to conduct collaborative, out-of-reach research that has real societal impact. It is so much more than a building. We want to take a shared vision and expertise from across all areas of the university community to genuinely transform the way we do research, with the ultimate aim of changing the lives of the people, community and world around us.”

Modern New England Home Features Pura® NFC SidingSituated in Burlington, Vermont was a 1.5-acre lot, a property that had been owned by a local family for over 70 years, but the land remained undisturbed and never developed. With the Adirondacks visible off in the distance, this property was known for its prime location and fabulous views; the land was important to the family as well as to the local community. In 2018, the owner decided it would be nice to finally build a home on the land. The goal was a modern home that would complement the surrounding wooded backdrop.

Trespa® Meteon® Modernizes 1920s Chicago High SchoolConstructed in 1926, West Chicago High School has seen many renovations over the years. Specialising in Pre-K and K-12 education, DLA Architects developed a plan for future expansion over 20 years ago during the building’s last renovation and saw it through in 2020.
