Lex Yard is the new hospitality precinct at the Waldorf Astoria New York. The project was designed by AvroKO as a cinematic hospitality and entertainment venue combining adaptive reuse, industrial revivalism, and contemporary club interiors.

Completed in 1976, the cylindrical Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel building is an iconic part of the Atlanta skyline.

Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in a soft cornflower blue is paired with light-toned herringbone wood flooring, adding warmth and geometric interest to the open-plan interior.

Refined timber joinery is paired with raw materials, recalling Nordic modernist craft traditions within a contemporary domestic setting.

An atelier-like studio occupies the top level beneath a pitched roof, using height and daylight to create a workspace distinct from the domestic program below.

Light ash wood, exposed concrete, brick, and patterned surfaces establish a layered interior palette, balancing warmth with structural clarity and tactile contrast.

The two-story southern addition consolidates bedrooms, a bathroom, and a home office within a compact footprint, maintaining domestic scale while increasing usable floor area.

Located in Rælingen, Norway, the expanded dwelling presents as three aligned red volumes along a narrow site - extending a traditional timber house into an expansive 4,840-square-foot composition.

A nod to vernacular Norwegian 'red houses in the forest', the steep pitch of the A-frame roof creates a dramatic silhouette while a smaller operable vent window allows natural light to pour into the interior.

Selective retention of blue door elements and white window frames provides contrast within the red envelope, anchoring the extension to its vernacular origins.
