The philosophy behind the project include the principles of recovery and healing architecture, transparency and proximity between people and functions, universality, flexibility and hierarchy of space and stimuli.

Built in 1866, it was the headquarters of Celine, the French luxury fashion house. Respecting the soul of this building and its Haussmannian facade was key, therefore Paris Inn worked with Atelier Cos — an architecture firm in charge of the renovation of Ritz — and Alexandre Danan for interior decoration. After 21 months of work, the old building has transformed into an elegant five-star hotel with 60 rooms and suites, a restaurant by Rostang, a Spa Cinq Mondes and a swimming pool.

The design has been based on three focus points: fossil-free operations, closed loop flows and a healthy and biodiverse environment, thus creating a benchmark for Nike.

Credit: © Sérgio HuoliverThe Museu do Amanhã (Museum of Tomorrow) is a different science museum — an environment of ideas, explorations and questions about the time of great changes in which we live and the different paths that open to the future. Tomorrow is not a date on the calendar, it's not a place we're going to get to, it is a construction in which we all participate, as people, citizens and members of the human species. From its early stages of design, sustainability has stood as a key priority and almost all issues related to sustainability were carefully addressed.

The main drivers behind the project’s success include its location, innovative solutions and an added value not yet offered by any other commercial developer. On its own plot the investor built a perfectly designed public square — Plac Europejski — with fountains, restaurants and an art passage. Ghelamco’s project has radically changed the shape of Warsaw’s business city centre and has become a great commercial success —currently the project is leased in over 90%.

Credit: © Simon MengesThe ensemble of six solitary houses is situated in a 5,000 sq m park-like landscape in a very central location, north of Frankfurter Allee in the district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. The new quarter at Liebigstrasse 1 is quiet and densifies the existing urban structure in a gentle way. The free-standing buildings are positioned at a distance of 15 m from each other and are open in all directions. They benefit from their mutually staggered position, ideal natural lighting and diverse visual references to the green surroundings.

Beyazit State Library

Credit: © Emre DörterA minimal-intervention approach ensures the spirit of the place survives while modern facilities are grafted onto the historic fabric at Beyazit State Library. Moreover, it includes a layer of our time that respects — even aggrandises — the values of the past, as the city of Istanbul is made up of layers throughout its 10,000 years of urban history, all in harmony through the complex. Interventions relate to the existing structure in volumetric, programmatic and material scopes. Programmatically the complex is introduced with a new layout.
Chaired by Cushman & Wakefield (UK) Chief Executive John Forrester, the MIPIM Awards jury is comprised of 11 influential personalities from the sector who determined each of the winners.
