The main aim of the project is to show how a infrastructure project can make a positive impact on the environment. The demand for new pumping stations in Stockholm are increasing because the power companies are expanding and connecting their district heating systems. This type of buildings are usually carried out as standard models but this time however, the power company Fortum in collaboration with the city of Stockholm have tried a new approach.
Burnie Makers’ Workshop / TERROIR. Architects: TERROIR Location: Burnie, Tasmania, Australia Client: Burnie City Council Project budget: $4.2 million Project area: 1,500 sqm Project year: 2009 Photographs: Brett Boardman Makers’ Workshop represents a major investment in a post-industrial future by the town of Burnie, on Tasmania’s north-west coast.
Until recently, the town has been known primarily for its large scale industries, such as the massive waterfront pulp and paper mill, and busy port. A local initiative born from the town’s paper heritage, Creative Paper, has built a reputation for high quality, handmade paper products. In addition, the town has a rich sense of its heritage as a rural centre. TERROIR transformed the brief for a new visitor and cultural facility, combining the industry and museum components into something even more community oriented, with the idea of providing a ‘living room’ for the town.

Group, Inc Electrical Engineer: M.E. Group, Inc Project Area: 6,200 sqf Photographs: Courtesy of Crawford Architects Zahner’s continuing success as one of the world’s foremost architectural metal manufacturers prompted the need for an expansion of their manufacturing facility at 8th and Paseo Blvd. in Kansas City, Missouri. The location for the expansion ties into the northern façade of a 30-year-old weathering steel clad facility and re-imagines a roughly paved concrete assembly yard surrounded by an unsightly chain link fence. The design intent was to convert this underutilized area into a large column-free assembly space, with ample clear height to move material around on 2 large cranes, and make a seamless connection to the existing factory floor.
