All by Design | Tropical Luxury + Green Living = Lofted Seaside Solar Home

Design - Architecture

It is a stroke of pure genius – and will keep its residence from having heat stroke as well. Lofted living and bedroom spaces, swooping architectural swimming pool and roofline curves – everything about this place speaks to casual, resort-like luxury … which makes the semi-secret sustainable wind, solar and green-roof strategies built into the project by Guz Architects in SingaporeÂ all the more impressive.

Hand-Crafted by Robots: Unbelievably Curved Brick Walls

Design - Architecture

To be fair, the ‘hand’ doing the crafting is in fact the extremity of a robotic arm, in turn connected to a highly advanced computer construction – still, the effect is incredibly convincing: these bricks look like they were manually stacked by someone with a great deal of time and expertise on their hands, able to curve them not just in a two-axis wave but in a complex three-dimensional fashion.

Historic Manhattan Property Gets An Upgrade | 195 Broadway

Design - Architecture

195 Broadway by Joel Sanders Architect

Project: 195 Broadway

Location: New York, USA

Website: www.joelsandersarchitect.com

This commission for a sales office at 195 Broadway, one of Manhattan’s most distinguished historic properties, called for a design that would marry the building’s prewar detailing with cutting-edge office design. A back-lit blue line inscribed in the walls and dropped ceiling of an updated elevator lobby organizes circulation.

Interior: Visiona 2

Design - Architecture

From the end of the Sixties to the mid-Seventies the chemical company Bayer rented a pleasure boat during every Cologne furniture fair and had it transformed into a temporary showroom by a well-known contemporary designer. The main aim was to promote various synthetics products in connection with home furnishings. Verner Panton was commissioned no less than twice to design this exhibition, entitled ‘Visiona’. The 1970 ‘Visona 2? exhibition showed the Fantasy Landscape which was created in this environment. The resulting room installation consisting of vibrant colours and organic forms is one of the principal highlights of Panton’s work. In terms of design history this installation is regarded as one of the major spatial designs of the second half of the twentieth century.
