Located in one of London's most progressive districts, the 192-room citizenM hotel offers a
unique blend of architectural modernity and creative innovation. Through the glass front
doors, guests enter an inviting, open-plan lobby that feels like a modern living room with all
the comforts of home. An indoor atrium with birch trees and hanging lanterns adds to the
relaxed atmosphere and striking contemporary design. The Mood Pad combines cutting-edge
technology with the ultimate guest stay. This custom touch-screen tablet enables guests to
control every aspect of their room: television, free movies, window blinds, temperature,
ambient lighting, wake-up alarm themes and Internet access.

Akasya Lake Parcel has been created through the revitalization of the waterway as a biological
pond located at the center of the land plot. Making this newly created natural texture a part of
the daily life in this parcel, both as a view and a means of recreation, is an element that shaped
the design. The fact that the buildings are located in a manner that protects them from the
blustering north-east wind has allowed the use of sliding windows even at the towers. The
spatial values that were lost at Istanbul during urban transformations were attempted to be
revived with the presence of the 10000 square meter area to be utilized as “Woods” for the
Akasya project. At Woods Parcel a 40 storey iconic building is designed to create space for the
woods. Social facilities, including recreational areas and playgrounds can be accessed by foot
without having to encounter any vehicle traffic.

This project’s aim is to refurbish public buildings that have been used for around 60 years,
showcasing symbols associated with the Republic of Korea and providing a place where
people can meet and socialise. Tying these places together could aid jump-starting efforts to
rehabilitate elements of the buildings.

Designed to exceed the typical standardised solutions for logistics facilities, this building was
conceived with a strong emphasis on creating pleasant and safe workplaces, allowing daylight
to enter and creating intimacy with the landscape. There was a strong focus on sustainability
in the planning, including recycled materials in the construction process, large-scale green
roofs, low-energy machine equipment and the use of renewable energy such as solar and
biodiesel for heating. The surrounding 500,000-m2 site is designed as a natural area with oak
woods, wetlands and meadows—a fertile environment with rich biodiversity.
