The building spans five storeys, with three large atriums. The “Grotto” at the main entrance includes a café and lounge, while the “Valley” at the southern end hosts the event hall, and the “Canyon” connects floors for co-working spaces.

🏢 The design features a 120m-long monolithic bar, resting on a sunken base, cantilevering over steep slopes. Large windows on both ends offer views of the river gorge to the north and Mount Ararat to the south.

Construction has begun on the EU TUMO Convergence Center in Yerevan! This multifunctional building at Tumanyan Park will support TUMO's mission to provide free education and bridge the gap between students and the tech industry. 📚👩‍💻

With the construction sector responsible for 39% of global CO2 emissions, Carbon Confessions aims to spark direct, sometimes difficult conversations about the climate crisis. 📅 Open Wednesdays to Saturdays – running until 12 March in Rotterdam. Find more info here! mvrdv.com/news/4836/ca...

The exhibition opens with a carbon storyline and transformation projects. 🔄 It continues with 23 anecdotes and 22 carbon cases, using CarbonSpace, the free tool we developed to calculate embodied emissions. Visitors also find low-carbon materials and models of completed transformations.

Carbon Confessions Rotterdam is now open to visit! The exhibition offers a candid look at sustainable building, showing our successes and missteps in cutting carbon. At Rotterdam’s Keilepand, it traces 30+ years of ambition across 120 panels on a winding rail. 🌍🏗️

💡 Illuminated in the evening, the perforated façades bathe the theatre square in atmospheric light – referencing the yearly, local Lampegietersavond tradition. Read more here! mvrdv.com/news/4834/mv...

Our design adds more functions with separate volumes for three auditoriums, a foyer space, café, and back-of-house areas compactly combined into a single building. 🎶🎬 A porous ceramic façade refers to both theatre curtains and the city’s industrial textile history.

Our design for Inaura aims to capture attention in an iconic skyline by privileging intrigue over spectacle. Read more here! mvrdv.com/news/4831/ne...

The façade features strong horizontal bands formed by two-metre-deep wraparound balconies. A "city to sky" transition shifts from crisp corners and mirrored glass to rounded forms and greater transparency upward. Balconies flare outward near the top to provide outdoor space for the Sky Villas.

The Sky Lounge offers panoramic views of the Burj Khalifa. A four-storey plinth contains ground-floor lobbies and restaurant, with a gym, infinity pool, and spa above. The lower tower includes a hotel and 105 Urban Apartments, while seven floors above the Sky Lounge contain nine Sky Villas.

A new way to mark the skyline 🏙️🔮 We won the competition to design Inaura: a luxury hotel and residential tower in Downtown Dubai! Our design takes a different approach to stand out among its taller neighbours: a luminous, jewel-like orb nestled in between the building's floors.

With their gently curved edges, these fins give the façade an elegant, fluid form. 💍 See more on the project here! mvrdv.com/news/4829/mv...

It’s the fifth façade in a series of designs by MVRDV for Tiffany, introducing a new design motif that reflects the pursuit of innovative materials and expressive three-dimensional form. The translucent, textured glass fins rise vertically up the full four-storey height of the building.

We’ve designed the façade of the new Tiffany & Co. flagship store in Beijing – with curving, translucent glass fins! 💎 These flowing shapes were inspired by classic Tiffany jewellery designs – specifically the Bone Cuff by Elsa Peretti.

Happy holidays and a joyful 2026! 🎄🥂

🗓️🎤 On display from Dec 12–28, Wooden Wonders offers a space for community gatherings and learning about Chiayi’s heritage. Public events and a nightly light show on the pavilion’s façade are part of the anniversary celebrations. Full details: www.mvrdv.com/projects/123...

🚪 Wooden Wonders showcases timber's potential for sustainability and heritage preservation. The exhibition covers five sections, from the "forest" and "workshop" to Chiayi’s vision of becoming Taiwan’s Wood Capital. The pavilion stands as a statement for the future of wood use in architecture.

The design reflects Chiayi’s history, with roofs inspired by local buildings featuring diagonal cuts and intricate lines. 🏘️📐 Pastel gateways lead visitors into a courtyard, designed as an urban living room. The exhibition inside tells the story of timber, from local forests to modern construction.

This is Wooden Wonders: a timber pavilion and exhibition we designed for the 321st anniversary celebration of Chiayi City, Taiwan! 🌳🔨 Chiayi has a long history in wooden craftsmanship, with over 6,000 timber buildings still standing. We created a pavilion to explore this relationship with wood.

The timber reduces carbon emissions and the plants reflect local biodiversity. At night, the light from the window turns it into a beacon in the hills. 🌙 Read more here! mvrdv.com/news/4819/pu...

The design improves the path network, adding multiple routes to the viewpoint, including a secondary platform with 360-degree views and a twisting staircase. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Inside, the roof slopes upwards as the floor slopes downwards, forming a tribune ideal for presentations or to admire the view.

The structure of earth-covered timber arches takes a telescopic shape, drawing visitors to the expansive viewing window and balcony that projects out over the slope. 🔭 We used the flattened hill from the previous viewing platform to create an arched pavilion blending into the landscape.

This is Pujiang Platform, a new timber pavilion and viewpoint in the hills of Chengdu – blending into nature while standing out as a beacon for visitors and residents of Pujiang! 🌲⛰️

The largest new building is a nunnery with 76 dormitories, a zendo, library, and communal space – using wooden frames and straw insulation to lower carbon emissions. 🌾 Wooden guest houses and a renovated bookstore will also support the monastery’s vision. Read more here! 🙏 mvrdv.com/news/4818/mi...
