Description from HGA:
Located in rural northwest Iowa, Orange City Hospital draws inspiration from its pastoral 37-acre setting. The 125,000-square-foot, two-level replacement hospital and clinic include acute care functions and outpatient clinic functions.
Interior architecture alludes to the rural setting with a curving, cultured-stone wall, wooden ceilings, metal paneling and glass expanses. Public spaces cluster around perimeter windows as the central corridor frames views of the landscape. Clear wayfinding follows the main entry lobby along the single public concourse. A centrally located chapel, reflecting the community’s Dutch heritage, includes a spiraling plaster wall and skylight to create a powerful yet inclusive spiritual statement. Lighting design
HGA integrated energy-efficient lighting throughout to reveal rich materials, textures, and colors. In the lobby, for instance, a stone wall and wood ceiling glow with warm light. Downlight and uplight enhance the [Source] |
| Museum of the North Expansion Fairbanks, Alaska by HGA Architects Posted: 14 Mar 2011 03:28 PM PDT 
Description from HGA:
The Museum of the North evokes the topography of the far north. The design consists of four abstract forms-angled, curved, tipped and cantilevered-to reflect the lines and shapes of Alaska’s coastlines, mountains, and glaciers. The horizontal layering, seemingly setting the building in motion, reflects Alaska’s shifting plate tectonics. Roof planes curve and slope from every angle, playing a critical role in the articulation of form and space. Clad in custom pearlescent-white aluminum composite panels with mica flakes, the addition envelopes the existing building, its metallic finish subtly capturing Fairbanks’ varied light patterns. Inside, the museum’s heart is a sculptural two-story lobby with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the Alaska Range, Mount McKinley and the Tanana River Valley.

| Manifesto House, Green House by ames & Mau Architecture in Curacaví, Chile Posted: 14 Mar 2011 02:15 PM PDT This house is located in Curacaví, Chile. This unique and green house was designed by James & Mau Architecture.With 160m2 areas, divided in two levels and uses 3 recycled maritime containers as structure. A container cut in two parts on the first level is used as the support structure for the containers on the second level. This structure in the form a bridge creates an extra space in between the container structure, isolated with thermo glass panels. 
Both exterior and interior use up to 85% of recycled, reused and eco-friendly materials: recycled cellulose and cork for insulation, recycled aluminum, iron and wood, noble wood coming from sustainable forests, ecological painting, eco-label ceramics. Thanks to its bioclimatic design and to the installation of alternative energy systems the house achieves 70% autonomy.
