This year, The French Laundry @_tfl_ celebrates 40 years serving unparalleled cuisine in the small Napa Valley town of Yountville, California. @ChefThomasKeller opened his recently built and completely refurbished kitchen to Architectural Record earlier this year for a tour of the dramatic, light-filled space. Designed by @Snohetta and @EnvelopeAD, the kitchen is immaculately outfitted with state-of-the-art stainless-steel equipment that seems to float above the terrazzo floor, and walls and countertops in white @DektonbyCosentio, an antimicrobial surface by @CosentinoUSA.

The sculptural new Victoria and Albert Museum in Dundee, Scotland, by Kengo Kuma and Associates (@kkaa_official) opens its doors to visitors this weekend. Clad in thick bands of textured concrete panels, the project refers to the cliffs of northeast Scotland. Take a closer look at the @VAdundee, which is part of a larger effort to revitalize the city’s waterfront, in our story: https://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/13628-kengo-kumas-va-dundee-opens-in-scotland Photo © Hufton+Crow (@HuftonandCrow) . .. ... .. . #architecture #scotland #VandADundee #museumdesign #concrete #HuftonandCrow #KengoKuma (at Dundee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnobcGbBT9s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bj14b7kkzaxg

There are no evident samples on display at Petra, the Stone Atelier, a stone showroom and supplier in Valencia, Spain. Instead, sales associates lead clients to a luminous area at the rear of the minimalist space, where glazed offices and conference rooms on each side flank a 7-foot-high circular wall at its center. But as a segment of this ringlike form pivots open, visitors will discover a secret room lined with a contiguous series of discreet flush doors, each opening to reveal a slab of one of 36 varieties of stone, all organized chromatically from light to dark and evenly illuminated from above.

Auditory distractions in the workplace are so irksome that acoustics consistently rank as the No. 1 or 2 complaint on employee surveys, with poorly designed open offices largely to blame. Many architects and employers are grabbing this issue by the ears—especially in the tech industry, where productivity is a direct function of engineers’ ability to focus, and sector growth keeps workplace design on the leading edge. One example is @Microsoft, which made the transition to open offices about five years ago. @Mithun_Design renovated the company’s existing offices in Bellevue, WA, creating several types of environments so that employees can select a place to work with the acoustical properties and physical layout best suited to the task at hand.

Inside Casa Las Musas, a vacation home in Uruguay, Mathias Klotz and Carolina Pedroni used Brazilian Louro wood for wall paneling and left the concrete roof deck exposed for the ceiling, while covering the floor in travertine. The richly tactile surfaces provide a quiet setting for the minimal furnishings chosen by interior designer Mauro Bernardini of @plan_arquitectura.

A compact 1,700-square-foot, one-bedroom cottage for the Las Musas vacation retreat in José Ignacio, near Punte del Este, Uruguay, demonstrates convincingly how well-crafted details, rendered in native woods with a concrete structure, and elegant proportions can reinvigorate the language of 20th-century masters.

Within a pristine alpine setting in northeastern Italy, a new factory building is the most recent addition to the sprawling industrial complex of office-systems manufacturer Fantoni. Nearly 1,000 feet long and 160 feet high, the plant, designed by Udine- and Milan-based Studio Valle Architetti Associati, replaces outdated facilities and holds Europe’s largest press for medium density fiberboard production.
