The entire roof of this house slides back to reveal a greenhouse/living room. The owners asked the architects to design a house where they could retire and grow food in the countryside. They said they were “prepared to be radical.” The result is super-cool and I want to go to there.
This is a concept for a “tree hotel” designed by the Swedish architectural firm Tham & Videgard Hansson. Honestly, they had me at “tree hotel”. But the thing is also made of mirrors and thus totally invisible. OK, not invisible at all. But it blends into its surroundings in a very cool way. Click through for more pics and schematics.
Filip Dujardin's resampled building series is fascinating. I'd love to live on the top floor of one of these, if they existed.
Style Buzz A blog devoted solely to stair photography. Porn, here, is used in the loosest possible terms, of course. But some people just really love stairs.
Click the image for the story of the “Clingstone” house. So far it has resisted stormy weather and high seas for 103-years.
Superyacht designed by architects at Foster+Partners is now being constructed in Italy. Unlike most high-concept yachts of this nature, the YachtPlus 40 Signature Series is actually in the process of being fully realized. Boasting arguably the most interior space of any other ship in its class, this watercraft is a marvel of design.
Culture Buzz The newest and most striking of the 37 event venues of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Of the 37 venues being used to host the Olympics in Beijing, 12 were newly constructed for the competition. Whether its the massive National Stadium (nicknamed the “Bird’s Nest”) or the incandescent National Aquatics Center, Beijing certainly managed to produce some stunning new architecture. Awesome links and photos aggregated below.
Culture Buzz Temporary inflatable structures are the future of transformable, space-saving architecture. I had this idea when I was at a birthday party at age 8 that I really did want to live inside of a giant SpaceWalk.
Style Buzz Dutch architects invent a window frame that can be extended into a balcony. I could see these being totally ubiquitous and being sold at an IKEA near you. There was probably a time when sofabeds seemed really ingenious and innovative.
