Matteo Cainer Architecture

Open Gate is one of six ambitious projects selected for the Future Projects Civic Awards shortlist. Jury comments: “I like the simplicity of this building, I think it creates a strong connection to nature in its setting. I think it is a very welcoming place to be, quite open, easy to get into and quite a friendly building, I would expect it to attract quite a diverse range of people.” Suzi Winstanley
“As a sculptural form set into the landscape it does have a clear relationship from the interior to the exterior, it is tantalising as a form.” Keb Garavito Bruhn
“It appears to have a well-resolved geometry and that’s quite satisfying. It feels like it floats over the park, it’s a strong response.” Simon Erridge

Structural works continue on our 1433 sqm penthouse - La Forêt Urbaine -  in the 16th Arrondissements in Paris, with structural beams being hoisted on site thanks to a 77meter Mobile Telescopic crane.
