SHL - Schmidt Hammer Lassen

Nei Hollerich – fra industri til tæt bydel. Det tidligere industriområde Hollerich i den sydvestlige del af Luxembourg by, er i dag et af Luxembourgs tættest befolkede kvarterer. En dynamisk bydel, hvor de rå postindustrielle spor og de grønne områder bidrager til en helt særlig identitet. På den 33,000 m2 store grund bygger vores vindende forslag videre på de eksisterende postindustrielle kvaliteter. Visionen er at skabe et karakteristisk kvarter med en stærk lokal forankring, der vægter fællesskab og social sammenhængskraft. En tæt by, hvor nabolaget væves sammen på tværs forskellige funktioner og beboere og indskriver sig i en større bymæssig sammenhæng. #shl #schmidthammerlassen #byududvikling #stærkefællesskaber #arkitektur #byplanlægning

The value of adaptive reuse and transformation. On July 10th, our Head of Innovation Enlai Hooi will be speaking at the first Global Policy Convening organised by The Urban Leaders Fellowship (UFL). The UFL is an organisation that connects cities and urban development leaders over the development of city governance and policy across the USA. The UFL gathers design experts, community organisations, municipalities and politicians over the development of city policy, and also assists in linking community organisations and education institutions with finance and expertise. The first Global Policy Convening will outline key areas of sensitivity in cities undergoing demographic shifts, where Enlai will discuss the value of adaptive reuse and transformation and our approaches to the establishment of a business case around the assessment of buildings for transformation. Registration for Zoom participation is still open, see sign-up info below. #shl #schmidthammerlassen #adaptivereuse #transformation #keynote #changingcities

WIN! SHL to develop new urban neighbourhood in Luxembourg City! ⁠ We're excited to share that we have won the competition to develop NEI HOLLERICH - a new vibrant neighbourhood in the city of Luxembourg. ⁠ ⁠ The winning proposal has been developed in close collaboration with Luxembourg-based assar and envisions an area shaped by Luxembourg's unique topography and the district's distinctive location. ⁠ Merging multiple functions, the new neighbourhood will offer a rich and welcoming environment, facilitating living, working, and accessing basic needs within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from home.⁠ ⁠ The vision involves transforming the area into a neighbourhood with a strong sense of identity, emphasising community, cultural richness, social cohesion, and well-being. A new urban focal point and infrastructural node in the cityscape catering to a wide range of future users.⁠ ⁠ We are looking forward to continuing the work as a team together with Fonds de Compensation! ⁠ ⁠ For full project description visit our website: https://lnkd.in/dy7UkqXG ⁠ Landscape Architect: 1:1 landskab Engineer: Betic Ingénieurs-Conseils, part of Sweco Visuals: Filippo Bolognese #SHL #SchmidtHammerLassen #assar #assararchitects #assaruniversumarchitects #CompetitionWin #NeiHollerich #LuxembourgCity #UrbanDevelopment #Architecture #UrbanDesign #SustainableLiving #CommunityBuilding #CityPlanning #VibrantNeighbourhood #SocialCohesion #FutureLiving #UrbanTransformation #NeighborhoodDevelopment

We are delighted to announce the TL Robertson Library Refurbishment has won an Australian Institute of Architects WA Chapter Award for Sustainable Architecture 2024!   Working in partnership with Hames Sharley our bold adaptive transformation project demonstrates how thoughtful alterations to existing buildings can meet the dramatically evolving needs of libraries while prioritising sustainability, creativity, and connection. This project not only improves the building’s performance and usability within a tight budget, but it also serves as a benchmark for future library refurbishments.

West Bund Art Center Unveils in Shanghai’s Cultural District At the centre of what was once China’s first and oldest cement production facility, we have transformed a "pre-homogenisation" dome structure into the new, flexible cultural destination known as the West Bund Art Center. This project exemplifies a thoughtful and sustainable approach to adaptive transformation, revitalising an otherwise declining building while preserving the dome structure’s historical integrity and cultivating new forms of use and interaction. The West Bund Dome Art Center is designed to host everything from art exhibitions and concerts to sports and other large cultural events, taking centre stage in Shanghai’s blossoming cultural district, the West Bund—an area that epitomizes the century-long history of Chinese national industry. Once fully developed, the West Bund will be the largest cultural district not only in China but also in Asia. ⁠ Landscape Architect: Field Operations⁠ Photos: Tian Fangfang ⁠ #shl #schmidthammerlassen #adaptivetransformation #revitalisation #industrialarchitecture 

Ark wins Speckle's Best Overall Project! The way we archive and document projects necessitates collaborative and agile delivery methods for our clients. Ark offers a modern solution for housing project information and deliverables.    As part of the Speckle hackathon, our talented Digital Team has developed a prototype that transforms typical file-based projects into cloud objects. This innovation makes project data accessible for our clients in Business Intelligence platforms, AI applications, and quality assurance processes.   Ark is designed for simplicity—getting started is as easy as dropping a file. We look forward to integrating the hackathon outcomes further into our digital practice. A huge congrats to the winning team: Victor Wanderley Barbosa, Zuzanna Czapla, Ellen Berglund, Daniel Boba & Adam Burnham #shl #schmidthammerlassen #SpeckleHackathon

‘Cultural Resonance: Embracing Generosity, Empathy, and Curiosity in Design’ This Tuesday, June 11, our Partner & Library Lead, Elif Tinaztepe, will deliver a keynote at the annual UX in Libraries Conference in Cambridge, UK. Over the past 25 years, we have designed more than 25 libraries across the globe. From small-scale interventions to some of the largest library buildings in the world, our portfolio reflects a rich tapestry of scale and geography. Throughout our ongoing work with libraries, we’ve witnessed an unprecedented library renaissance. We see libraries as the cultural hubs of our time – ever-evolving places that respond to and challenge the rapid changes in social, technological, and demographic trends. Libraries are not just repositories of knowledge but dynamic spaces fostering community and connection.
