Cell Brick House, Tokyo, Japan designed by Atelier Tekuto
three-storey home featuring a unique facade of alternating steel blocks and glass. While the connection between architecture and nature may not be immediately apparent, this amazing home’s checker-board exterior lets light permeate interiors, like sunlight beaming through foliage. On the inside, these steel boxes become built-in storage shelves. -- TrenDir

KMAR – Koninklijke Marechaussee, Amsterdam, The Netherlands designed by Wansleben Architekten
The building’s outer facade stands out by dint of a seeming sobriety indicative of a defensive nature. You initially feel you’re facing a massive, dark complex – square, plenty of windows that nevertheless look small in their deep recesses, and with a facade texture like that of a woven carpet, partly due to the windows. -- ArchDaily

ROC Mondriaan Laak II, Den Haag, The Netherlands, 2011 designed by LIAG
The building forms a powerful and colourful (a la Mondriaan) completion of the Leeghwaterplein. Seen from the train, it serves as a calling card for ROC Mondriaan. The building has a grid shaped concrete façade decorated in the ROC colours. The effect in combination with the windows results in a strong whole. -- ArchDaily

Helsinki University Main Library, Kaisaniemenkatu, Helsinki, Finland, 2012 designed by Anttinen Oiva Architects
The architectural starting point – the cityscape considered – was a vision of a unique public building that will suit its surroundings in terms of its materials, design and height. The dense fenestration grid, which blurs the standard floor division, together with the large arched openings give the library a distinct external appearance. By varying the size of the arched openings the building is fitted as an integrative solution within a situation of three different types of street space. -- ArchDaily
