The Brain

Olson Kundig Architects have put together an awesome project that they call The Brain. The office is about the closest match to what I envision for my own ideal workspace (I'd replace the piano with another couch, table or bar).


In addition to the brass fire poll, I love the inclusion of a window at dog height. Our pups would love it.

Inovative Children’s Furniture from Masahiro Minami

This lovely piece of furniture, especially created for kids, brings together a table or a mini-writing desk, a few elements resembling kitchen items and a dresser. Put them all together and you have a compact, organized and totally not messy toy for children. And if the “tidy” part of the project does not impress that much, just think how much fun and educational this kind of a project could turn out for the kids.

In these days working from home is becoming a trend thanks to the internet. For those of you who work from home, or want to have a quiet place to work the OfficePODp rovides a new additional space that is dedicated to work only.

The Office POD brings a whole new meaning to the idea of remote working as it comprises a rather sleek workspace in an all inclusive capsule. The OfficePOD is of optimum size (2.1m x 2.1m) and does not require planning consent in the greater majority of cases. It’s modular design enables speedy construction even in gardens with the most difficult access. The POD has been designed to provide appropriate security when empty or occupied. The external and internal look and feel of the space as well as the overall user experience is the product of an extensive design process.

The OfficePODprovides the user with an efficient use of space with innovative storage and desktop solutions. High quality materials have been carefully chosen for their combination of visual, physical and environmental characteristics. Power is provided via a discrete and protected connection to the house or garage; IT and phone connectivity is generally wireless but can be similarly cabled. The POD is provided with a secure locking system of the highest quality. So what do you think about this small office that can be placed in your garden ? Hot or not ?

Indoor Spiral Wine Cellar

Indoor Spiral Wine Cellar

We would like to start our presentation of this fantastic cellar design with a not-so-fantastic information: the costs of having one are around $30 000. Now that we can move pass that, we will also tell you what you will get for this money. Basically, a great looking indoor wine cellar with a capacity of 1000 or 1600 bottles and the ability of maintaining the wine in the best possible conditions. Here are some words from the producers about the spiral cellar:  “a watertight, pre-cast cylindrical system that’s sunk into the ground, it can be located anywhere from kitchen to conservatory, workshop to study. It can be installed into an existing ground floor room, or incorporated into the build of an extension or new property”. We hope you enjoyed this design as much as we did and we wish you happy wine tasting!

The manufacturer offer tiles in different sizes and for all sorts of applications - wall, floor and counter tops. There are also texture and base color options which allows you to custom the look you want. Clients can also choose the activation temperature of the tiles which will then go through 3 shimmering phases, each with a 6 – 10° rise in temperature. ”Once the temperature peak is passed, the base color returns and remains the same until the temperature drops.”
