Completed in 2019 in Flawil, Switzerland. Images by Andreas Buschmann. The striking, pentagonal new building, placed directly on the station square, houses thirty age-apropriate apartments, a care station, a spitex base...

The sum is greater than its parts. The age-old adage is particularly suited to a recent project by a pair of architecture firms. O&M is a new rental-apartment complex in San Francisco by Kennerly Architecture & Planning and Pfau Long Architecture. Build, the developer, enlisted the two to create a nearly block-long beacon that reflects the neighborhood’s diverse character.

A new study found that slick, apartment-style housing might be aesthetically pleasing but could lower students' grade point averages.
