ALDAR Headquarters

The Aldar Headquarters designed by MZ Architects has a distinctive and innovative design: a semispherical building comprising two circular convex shaped facades linked by a narrow band of indented glazing. This iconic fully glazed structure is completely circular in elevation and curved in all other directions. The ideas of simplicity, purity and learning from nature, were the main principles of the concept, coupled with the reliance on one of the oldest rules of architecture: that of proportion. The result is an extremely pure geometrical but daring design.

Golden West Bay

The Golden West Bay concept exemplifies a pure geometrical scenario tailored by a clear physical language. The diagonal cut of one pure rectangle and the sliding of the parts resulted in a striking, modern three-dimensional image. The two sliding parts challenge gravity and embrace one another through a joint. This innovative design approach creates an eye-catching structure that stands out from the rest. By forming this elegant and monumental silhouette, the building is seen to celebrate the strength of monolithic symmetrical sculptures which in turn symbolize power.

Up Your Street

Up Your Street is a brand idea created to reinvent and reinvigorate the ailing cottage cheese category. The concept is built around the notion of moving cottage cheese on from the safety and comfort of its old 'cottage' to live in more exciting and exotic homes. In doing so the product itself is reinvigorated and re-presented in new and interesting flavour combinations. The house-shaped Tetra Pak format brings this concept to life in-store, creating a 'street' on shelf and invites possibilities for new variants, sizes & limited editions.
