Byggnaden utgör resurs för ett kluster av gymnasieskolor i och omkring Slakthusområdet i södra Stockholm. Dess program innehåller relativt kontrasterande funktioner, från bibliotek och blackbox till grupprum och kontor. För att byggnaden ska kunna användas tryggt av olika grupper och samtidigt vara tillgänglig för allmänheten har den organiserats, både vertikalt och i plan, med glidande övergångar mellan exponerad offentlighet och slutet privat. I och med den aktuella tomtens djup och programmets ytkrav blir ljus en viktig parameter. Självstabiliserande glasprofilpartier används runtom, ömsom med isolerande, translucenta ilägg, och ömsom som klart glas. Decken runt kärnan utgör en visuellt stimulerande miljö med utsikt, alternativt filtrerat ljus och exponerade bjälklag. Holedeckelement möjliggör bärning i flera riktningar tillsammans med inpassning av installationer och god materialekonomi. De mindre rummen och vrårna som blir allt mer förekommande med byggnadens höjd erbjuder möjlighet för gymnasieelever och eventuella andra användare att hitta sina favoritplatser och göra byggnaden till sin egen. / The building is a resource centre for a cluster of upper secondary schools in and around the Slaughterhouse area in southern Stockholm. Its program contains relatively contrasting features, from a library and blackbox to group rooms and offices. In order for the building to securely support different user groups while being accessible to the public, it has been organized, vertically and in plan, with gradual transitions between exposed public and private spaces. With the depth of the current plot and the surface area of ​​the application, light becomes an important parameter. Self-stabilizing glass profiles are used around the buildings perimeter, both with insulating, translucent inserts, and as clear glass. The decks around the core constitute a visually stimulating environment with views, alternatively filtered light and exposed waffle slabs. These Holedeck elements enables multi-directional loadbearing along with fitting of installations and good material economy. The smaller rooms and shelterd corners that become increasingly occuring with the buildings height, offer the opportunity for high school students, and other users, to find their favorite places and make the building their own.

Spa is located on the outskirts of the Swiss city of Yverdon. Area is surrounded by disparate buildings especially residential character. There are historical buildings on the land and buildings of the spa and hotel. The current spa and the outbuilding of hotel don´t meet requirements, that´s why the buildings will be replaced by a new complex. Neighbourhood doesn´t have any relationship with the spa, that´s why the whole land is surrounded by a wall. Water surface with three “floating” pavilions is inserted into this closed spa park. There are the public spa, the therapeutic spa and the part of the hotel on the water surface. Each of them works largely independently; they are connected by the water surface. The complex is separated by a part of shallow water from the park. It´s solitaire in the park, but it has close connection with it. The spa complex is located near the forest on the south part of the land, because the whole system is quite open.
