The Big Yellow Rabbit is a temporary 13 meter high sculpture. It's a enlarged cuddle toy made out of swedish products thrown against the statue of Engelbrekt. Via Design Don't Panic.

Standing tall on its poised four legs, the unit measures in at 36.5”H x 43”W x 13.5”D.

duplex by a-cero

This futuristic looking apartment is a duplex rehabilitation project recently completed by A-cero Architects in Galicia, Spain. Here is an excerpt from the official architects’ description: “The wide entrance hall distributes, on the one hand, the most public area, composed by a big dining room and, on the other side, a courtesy w.c, a bedroom in-suite with a finished bathroom that can be for guests or for service and the kitchen. On the opposite side, there are the sculptural stairs that will lead us to the most private stays. In the living room, as in the rest of the house, the white colour is the protagonist. Only some elements like the lacquered black wood console by “A-cero in”, the Ace model couches, also by “A-cero in” upholstered in velvet champagne tone, break this white monochromia.

dreamhost in california

Like other tech companies with a young and dynamic workforce, the web-hosting company Dreamhost wanted a work environment that would be easily adaptable to nonwork functions. In the modern business culture, a new profit initiative is as likely to be hatched over a cup of green tea or a game of ping-pong as in a formal meeting room. At the company’s new headquarters in Brea, California, the footprint of the existing building offered attractive potential for creating vistas of space and light.

my new polaroid land camera

In my eternal quest for a digital camera, instead of focusing (no pun!) on researching what my new digital camera is going to be, I waste time buying (and creating) low res cameras.

This is my new Polaroid Land Camera 1000 (OneStep) that uses the SX-70 film. It's brand new from the 1970's. Love it. Now I have to go to the impossible project to buy some film!

Loft Lloydkwartier

We love how they combined a bold, show-stopping element like the rainbow wall with an over-sized, natural stone material for some of the flooring and walls. It makes for a far out, 1970s kind of feel. Exposed beams, wood tones and a simple furniture plan completes this awesome look

A Cabin in a Loft in Brooklyn

Conceived of as houses within houses, the cabin and treehouse serve as private sleeping cabins, each with its own semi-private garden set off from the shared living space.

The cabins are located in a former textile factory building with exposed brick walls and large windows. Rather than building floor-to-ceiling walls to divide the apartment into two bedrooms, the pitched roof of the cabin and elevated floor of the treehouse maintain the openness and character of the loft while also allowing sunlight to fill the entire space. As a result, living in the space can feel like living outdoors, in a small community of two houses. Windows in the cabin and treehouse ventilate the rooms and offer views to the rest of the apartment. The large entrances to both cabins, set slightly back from the building’s windows, look out to the sky and down the street.

This series focuses on max i miz ing out door liv ing on small lots by ‘hov er ing’ the build ing enve lope above the grade level in order to cre ate space for out door liv ing envi ron ments.

tabletop by up studio

TableTop explores the concept of contextual contradiction. By allowing both the existing 1960's suburban ranch typology and the new addition to live free of stylistic constraints, the project enjoys true contextual harmony.  The rotated forms allowed for intimate terraces and the boxes house a lounge and a gym. These forms were oriented on the TableTop to allow for maximum views of the property, passive solar strategies and to allow for exterior spaces to be occupied.  Those are now their favorite places in the home.
