Kabul, Afghanistan

Habibia High School, Kabul

Description
Afghanistan’s Who’s Who attended this important school in Kabul. Hamid Karzai, former King Zahir Shah and nearly 50% of the Afghan ministers graduated from this school, just to give an example. Though, the Taliban reduced Habibia to a bullet-ridden shell, it was reconstructed with international support and reopened with a modern and up-to-date look in 2005.

10 West Elm

Description
Reminiscent of a Parisian mid-rise, 10 West Elm fits in well in a neighborhood of people who would appreciate such a heritage. The building brightens up a potentially dark corner with its orange façade, and hints of a regal lineage with its green roof, which is similar to those of the noble roofs of Europe where the copper has turned green with age.

Camera 12 Cinema and Twohy Lofts

Description
Twohy Lofts, built in 1917, the 45,000-sq.-ft. concrete-framed building was rehabilitated into a retail/office loft-housing complex. The upper four floors were converted into 36 live/work loft apartments, ranging from 450 to 670 sq. ft. Finishes include granite counter tops, marble cabinets and red-oak flooring. The project was completed at a cost of $7.25 million. The Camera Cinemas were born in 1975, when Camera One opened its doors on South First Street in downtown San Jose.
