A snail can make a BIG impact. 🐌

In Denmark, the appropriately named studio BIG has just completed its latest project — curved housing blocks that combine to form a spiral shape.

Named ‘Sneglehusene’ (or ‘snail houses’ in English), the project’s title is a reference to its spiral form, which surrounds a central park and a small pond. Aside from its townhouses, multi-bedroom apartments, and residential studios, the also includes commercial spaces designed to run on clean .

We love how this modular concept exhibits elegance and simplicity despite the complexity surrounding the project’s . It goes to show that applying out-of-the-box thinking, not just to the final product but to the entire process, delivers better homes and .

Imagine how cool it would be if we did this with our cityscapes and CBDs!

Does living on water sound good to you? If so, we are happy to share that it will soon be possible!

Danish maritime studio MAST just announced their project, “Land on Water”. It’s a system for constructing FLOATING buildings.

Made from reinforced plastic, these floating projects can be easily transported worldwide and assembled in different configurations to suit a range of building types. They’ve developed a system to build almost anything on water - entire communities included!

Land on Water is also designed to withstand storms and promote . According to MAST, these constructions act like biohuts underwater. The studio believes the system could be used to create climate-resilient and biophilic neighbourhoods.

The prototype is already on the way and is set to be presented at the UIA World Congress of Architects CPH 2023.

Imagine surfing to work!! Wouldn’t that just be awesome?

No idea seems to be too crazy for Airbnb!!

In an effort to find the craziest, most out of the world, and designs for vacation rentals imaginable, AirBnB created the $10 million OMG! Fund. Some of the ideas that came out of this contest include quirky homes in the shape of a giant flower pot, shoes, giant UFOs, and a yellow submarine (Do we have any Beatles fans in the house?).

From a pool of more than 10,000 submissions, 100 super-creative builders and will receive $100,000 to bring their vision to life and property-rental-ready by the summer of 2023.

We’ve always been a big believer that comes in all shapes and sizes. But these projects just take surprising, one-of-a-kind, and unorthodox to a whole new level … and we’re all for it!

What would be YOUR crazy entry to this contest? 😂

Singapore has a new addition to its skyline with a spectrum of uses — a true mixed-use in one.

Designed by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group, 'CapitaSpring' has recently been completed after four years of construction.

The 280-meter-tall high-rise oasis, considered among the city’s tallest structures, comes with everything a building can offer. It has been designed with sky gardens and a rooftop park, restaurants and an open-air hawker centre, office spaces and serviced residences (plus their facilities: swimming pool, jogging track, kitchen, and residents’ lounge), and (designed for everything from work and events to relaxation and exercise).

Its’ sky garden even features over 150 species of edible plants that provide ingredients for the building's restaurants and cafes.

We'd love to relook at underperforming assets across CBD’s to create new possible blends of not only uses but also allow a more diverse socio-economic blend to be seeded across the city.

This is crucial for creating dynamic cities; otherwise, we risk living in a vanilla world.

You’ve heard of a rooftop garden. Get ready for a rooftop jungle.

London-based real estate investment and development platform, Fabrix, is set to begin the construction of Europe’s most extensive roof forest called Roots in the Sky by 2023.

The sky-high botanical garden will house 125 mature trees and 10,000 plants!

The building will also come with:
✅ A sizeable edible garden that will be accessible to the local community,
✅ A rooftop restaurant, bar and swimming pool, private terraces for the office space below,
✅ Seed banks, and
✅ Public community spaces with a not-for-profit management structure to run the spaces.

What’s also impressive is that even the building itself, not just the rooftop, is rigged with green tech including reclaimed steel and integrated waste energy capture. THIS is an excellent example of combining and to shape a more sustainable world.

Can you imagine if every building would be required to have a rooftop rainforest?

But one of the things we love most is the fact that there is an allowance for much-needed public space to bring the local together. The trend in Sydney is to only provide luxury living and commercial spaces with very little given back to foster how we, as a city - a community, can rebuild connections, and create enriching experiences that move our society forward.

Sign us up for that future!

Sydney’s waking up to something NY worked out a while back. Old railway lines can be repurposed to become dynamic, green, urban spaces.

Back in the days before the city had its iconic Harbour Bridge, the railway on Sydney’s North Shore used to run down to Milsons Point where commuters would alight to take a ferry across to the city. The line is still there but is now infrequently used for train storage. A community group want to turn it into a walking and cycling track similar to New York’s High Line.

Across the other side of the Harbour stands the Cahill Expressway. It’s a bit of an eyesore separating the ferry wharves from the lower end of the CBD. Town planners are pushing to remove the freeway on top of the Cahill and make it a vibrant green space so that the city’s residents and visitors can walk across the top and take in views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

It would also get more cars off the road. With the reduction in traffic, air pollution would drop creating a healthier environment in the city. More green spaces make for healthier cities and we at Monogram are all for it.

Choosing green urban spaces may save you from a broken heart - literally.

New research shows that living near green parks lowers the risk of a stroke by at least 16%.

The culprit? Air pollution.

High levels of air pollution, usually linked to car traffic, increase the risk of stroke by hardening our arteries, making blood thicker, and raising blood pressure, leading to brain clots.

Public parks and green spaces act as a filter by lowering the number of pollutants in the atmosphere. To truly experience its benefits, the study says people must be living around 300 meters from green spaces.

How far away from somewhere green do you live? What about work?

Here in Sydney we are seeing more and more attention being paid to the health benefits green spaces bring. This includes public parks designed to encourage exercise and more bike lanes to decrease pollution.

More green spaces makes for healthier cities and we’re all for it.

What’s the best green space in your city? Where should the next one be created?

A space for reflection in the middle of a concrete jungle.

American studio CLB Architects and Design Pavilion, a local organisation that builds public art installations, has created what they described as a circular wood-and-steel "chapel" in the heart of New York City.

The project, dubbed Filter, creates space for quiet recentering amidst the frantic energy of the world-famous Times Square. It’s designed to be both an art piece and public space that reminds people of the peace that nature brings to a world that’s predominantly artificial.

The pavilion walls are made of recycled, large, folded steel plates. A tree occupies the centre of the structure - an ingenious way of highlighting the urban contrast of Times Square. Around the perimeter of the space are benches that offer visitors a place to sit briefly and reflect.

This installation serves as a reminder to centre yourself amidst the chaos and the importance of taking time to pause and reflect. Here’s to more public spaces that aren’t just aesthetically pleasing but will also make you think.

When was the last time you made time to simply reflect?

One country is taking green construction to new heights.

75-metres to be exact.

With the world facing an environmental crisis of unparalleled magnitude, design professionals and architects have been exploring greener and more sustainable construction practices.

And one green project stands out from the rest - a building entirely made of wood.

The centre is expected to capture nearly nine million kilograms of carbon dioxide within the next 40 years. The building is also equipped with solar panels which make it possible for the centre to run on clean energy.

Not only do we love the sustainability aspect of the project, but the mixed-use blend of a hotel sitting above six theatre stages, a library, two art galleries, and a conference centre make this destination a home run.
