Struder House by bauzeit architekten



Situated on a gentle slope of the southern edge of Lake Biel, the new building has been designed on the old “romantic-style” garden in a nineteenth century villa. The remaining parts of it, an old Grota, a pond and trees have been retained and integrated into the stage of the new project. The project is organized on three levels, each floor with a distinct spacial character suitable for the specific program areas.

The Big Yellow Rabbit




Florentijn Hofman created this totally cool larger than life sculpture of a yellow bunny which appears to have been dropped in the center of the town square in Orebro, Sweden. 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.
