©2008-2009 standard® | National Wildflower Centre | Liverpool, England 18,000 sq ft | competition entry for wildflower cultivation and visitor centre architect project team: Silvia Kuhle | Jeffrey Allsbrook | Alexander Babich | Kazu Shichishima | Alexis Carver mechanical | structure | sustainable systems: Buro Happold The Living Conservatory is a glasshouse with a green roof, enveloped by the National Wildflower Centre's historic walled garden. The new building is a terraced landscape that links the ground and the sky; the microscope and the telescope. Like the walled garden, the Living Conservatory avails to natural forces to temper the microclimate, creating a comfortable and habitable interior. Its wildflower covered green roof extends the existing demonstration garden to the west brickwork wall. The PV “Sunflowers” follow the movement of the earth, visually synchronizing the garden with the sun. The “Megaliths” anchor the scheme structurally and compositionally. Orientated toward the southern sky, these volumes transform the sun’s light. With their proportions based on the Golden ratio, the Community Room “Megalith” diffuses the light evenly while the Contemplation/Prayer Room “Megalith” has a narrow, deep slot that will mark the changing seasons on an interior calendar. Placed near the entrance to the new facility, the Wind Spire is proposed to provide power and as a vertical landmark for the NWS. With planning approval, additional wind turbines would be proposed for Court Hey Park, as this is a significant site resource.

Open and transparent, outdoor and indoor spaces defined by their materials are layered through the building, framed with light and dark wood, stone, plaster, glass. Sliding shutter-doors are used both as veiled screens between spaces and integrated into the full height millwork.

©2007-2008 standard® | Revolve flagship store | Los Angeles, CA 2,600 sq ft | multibrand retail project team: Silvia Kuhle | Jeffrey Allsbrook | Moira Henry | Travis Muroki | Gregg Oelker | Caroline Smogorzewski photos: ©benny chan/fotoworks Online couture retailer Revolveclothing.com desired a flexible space for their physical debut store and the design of the boutique responds by showcasing a changing selection of designers while transforming periodically into an event space. Set back from Melrose Avenue, a square display window within a dark metal wall announces the store’s entrance. Inside, a long wall of vertical fins emphasizes the space’s verticality while affording individual display niches for a changing group of apparel labels. Each fin is cut to a unique curved profile, countering their repetition in plan with a soft vertical topography. Custom designed fixtures of stainless and black dyed MDF are minimal, low, and removable. A passage way leads to a walled garden containing a set of museum-like vitrines displaying contemporary and vintage fashion pieces.
