The majestic monument for the Bio-diversity park, built on the Gachibowli-Mehdipatnam Road, has become a landmark in Hyderabad as an artistic expression of the great mystery of life on earth and its creation. Architecturally, it depicts solid, liquid and gaseous forms. Odyssey was invited to collaborate on this prestigious project by Genesis Planners Private Limited, the project's lead Architects and well-known Hyderabad based Architecture firm. This mammoth undertaking required procuring, sawing, processing and polishing 165 tonnes of stone at our production facilities in Udaipur and NOIDA and shipping it for installation to Hyderabad.

Spread across 42 acres of undulating land, the Taurian World School at Ranchi has been designed as a premier educational institute which aims at the holistic development of students. Based on a dream to create an ideal 'educational environment' and to redefine 'learning in terms of facility and ambience, the school uses an innovative spatial palette with high-level technologyand superior quality materials. The Taurian world school was Mr. AmithBajla's dream project. He wanted to redefine educational institutions in terms of facility and environment. Having similar thoughts and beliefs helped Archohm and the client together conceptualize a unified vision - a campus which would liberate young minds and provide them with a world class educational experience, obtained by: innovative spatial design, high level technology and superior quality materials. Taking the site as a bare palette, an institutional hub with school, college and residential facilities was visualized.

On the Watertorenterrein in IJmuiden are the water tower and the former filter building. There was also a pump house and there were huge underground water cellars. Because it is no longer in use MB architects designed new houses on the basement floor of the water cellars. The operated quality plan discribed a robust building. This is designed by realising back to back houses with facades of masonry with a special drawing in the orange brickwork bond that refers to a copper pipeline. This expressive ' waving ' also takes care of vertical partisioning and recognizability. The houses have a special ground-plan. Bedrooms in the basement, kitchen on the ground floor and living on the first floor. On the site of the pump building is a new free-standing villa designed in line with the design of the underground water cellar houses.

The design concerns 3 pavilions, each with 2 housing units for housing people with intellectual disabilities. Also the existing house, the Fronthouse, has been renovated and provided with one housing unit. Each unit covers a floor area of 40 m². To promote social cohesion a room in the fronthouse is used as a collective 'walk-in room'. The pavilions have no private garden but are located in a protected green setting whereby large glass fronts in the living rooms let the in- and outdoor feeling flow into each other. The pavilions and the Fronthouse are connected in terms of materialisation. With beautiful white stucco, colorful slate and a natural stone plinth is realised a breezy and fresh design that has a clear contrast with the green garden. Between the pavilions are dark brown/anthracite brickwork garden walls with hedera plants placed along the wall.

The urban planning supervisor SVP from Amersfoort has given a theme to all the lots in Saendelft. MB Architects has designed 110 homes in the theme of ' Modern architecture ' with as a reference bold,expressive and innovative architecture of Van Loghem from the thirties of the last century. A combination of brown-yellow sintered brick, patinated zinc for the large overhanging eaves and dormer, closed versus open brickwork facade surfaces and a thematic design approach of the frames and windows, is abstracting the contemporary architecture of the past to the present. The parking garages, garden walls and parking bays are designed within the architectural plan. Royale red beech hedges are marking the front gardens and parcel partitioning of the houses and the public gardens in the district.

The Waarderpolder is the business park of Haarlem. At the Hulswitweg Bona, a provider of parquet lacquers and sorts, did need a larger warehouse next to their office space. This concrete building with stone facades and blue windows had to be linked to the new warehouse space. MB Architects has designed a simple volume with a clear face to the entrance of the site. Night blue sandwich panels form the edges of the powerful framework with Reglit panels which brings in a large amount of daylight. A large shed cuts the building horizontally in half. The openness of the facade shows the admissibility of the user.

For the location Kerkbuurt in the centre of Oostzaan is a building designed for apartments, shops and houses. The design continues the ribbon structure on the west side of the square and creates a closed wall to amplify the square feel. Size, scale and proportions of the other buildings, sightlines from the cemetery and the Kerkbuurt that come together on the square are the basis for the design of a particular element in the facade on the square. This jumping forward element is similar in scale and size a ' new building ' to the church square and emphasizes the jump in the building-lines. This eye-catching element is equipped with a large overhang eaves completed in patinated zinc and a different color masonry. The elements next to this particular element in the facade, are pulled back from the building-line. The different color masonry and zinc hood with large dormer windows forms a stately balance with the opposite church and the city hall.

In a beautiful location on the edge of the dunes are the fields and the pavilion of Mixed Hockey Club ' Houdt Braef Standt '. The current pavilion is situated on a dune and higher than the artificial grass turf fields. The dressing rooms are housed in a semi-sunken basement and the club room is located at an even higher level than the terrace. The level difference is bridged by wide concrete steps which can be used both as a stair and as a stand. This creates maximum visibility on the main field. Natural materials are applied such as wooden scale parts and zinc. This is to fit the building well into its surroundings. The colors of the facade are the colors of the club; Black-stained lariks scale parts, and a bright red brick plinth. The roof is of patinated zinc. Furthermore, there is a lot of glass on the side of the fields for a good view on the fields. The roof is broken through by a wooden turret, in which the boardroom is situated.

Woningbedrijf Velsen has bought the ancient villa in 2009 to rent this to Zorgspecialist who provides apartmens for demented seniors. In the villa there are 9 apartments divided on three floors. In the garden a pavilion is designed in which the living room with kitchen is located. On old drawings of the villa we discovered that the original frames and windows of steel were all included with a vertical lines. This is the theme used for the design of the facades. With the use of aluminum renovation frames the facades of the villa is restored in original grandeur as much as possible, and in a reverse design applied in the open facades of the pavilion. The closed facades are of red copper in a horizontal line marking. The copper will turn to a dark brown color after some years and will beautifully matches the reddish brown weathered stone of the villa. This creates a coherent interaction between two architectural extremes.

t the farthest point from the sea, next to Carrer Taulat solves the access road to the site through a valley that is building an artificial mountain and a plateau. The mountains protect the entire coastline round noise within lodging in technical systems and allows multiple, ascending, look at the park, the sea and the city simultaneously. The plateau contains the recycling wrapping the old incinerator and connecting the whole building with a single blue polycarbonate polarizing emerging all eyes, materializing a first plane that filters more aggressive industrial views from the park. This is a unique proposal, an Energy Observatory through its joint program - industrial, tertiary and cultural - can build bridges between cultural contexts and landscape, nature and artifice, making comprehensive energy management and the surrounding territory : a privileged, the most outspoken of the garden from the city to look at itself.

Located in the very heart of Kharkov's busy downtown, Ave Plaza inevitably became a new commercial hub of the city, attracting visitors with a variety of shops and restaurants, as well as with its striking appearance. Although the building has a relatively small footprint, it proves to be highly efficient due to well thought-out circulation, which provides access to numerous facilities on each of the four commercial floors. The new building fills a gap in the historic tissue along the red line of the street, providing smooth transition between two existing scales. In order to achieve maximum efficiency of the retail centre, the volume of the building is pierced by an ellipsoid atrium with a peninsular tower in the middle. the tower is occupied by a variety of restaurants, encouraging visitors to climb higher to the upper floors. The peninsular tower inside the atrium creates a lively atmosphere, without spoiling the sightlines and the entire visual perception of the interior space.

Re-structuring an old theatre in the heart of Paris to turn it into an interactive platform for 21st century music and arts poses a number of difficult problems. To sum them up: the Manuelle Gautrand office had to conceive of a place that could cater to all the artistic activities of today, a place open to public visits but that was also a working studio where artists could actually create, produce and present. The design priorities are clear: create three main production facilities, three spaces for live shows. Around these three anchor points unfold a continuum of fluid and mobile 'breathing' spaces to serve alternately as work studios and presentation spaces: sets for the digital arts and modern music, for performers and for the public. They include library, exhibition areas, foyers, café, bookshop, rehearsal studios, etc.
