Atelier Drome: Australia

Torquay House | Wolveridge Architects

The language this architecture speaks is certainly an adaptation of surrounding context. This two story, three bedroom house is situated in coastal area, and uses materials that can stand the coastal environmental conditions.

Local vegetation are also selected carefully to "blend in" with the surrounding context. But most importantly, it is designed for occupants to enjoy their new residence whether permanently or during the weekends, and to be a place worth arriving all season-long.

Durbach Block Jaggers

I'm not generally into curves... but I find this project very intriguing. That first image doesn't look like it should be possible? A steel mullion supporting the concrete house? Crazy!

Posh Interiors

These retail interiors by HPG are quite lovely... posh without being overly so. The furniture is oversized without making you feel as though you've fallen into Alice's wonderland... and both lighting and furniture placement have created a gallery type focus for the items being sold (just as it should be in a retail space).

For My New Office

As C and I have been finishing up our remodel... I'm working on collecting things for my new office space in the office/2nd bedroom. I really think that this business card holder would make life better... I mean, its way better than the rubber band system I'm currently using.

Invigorating

Ok... just to warn you, I've got a ton of photos of the Venice Biennale (some of them are labeled, more are not). If you ever have a chance to visit, I would highly recommend it... Especially, if you are like me, and feeling a bit jaded by work. The Biennale was so invigorating and refreshing, and really reminded me of all the things I love about architecture... Oh, and I saw David Adjaye. But, don't worry... I didn't run up to him like a groupie or anything!

Flat Pack Art

These flat pack Zaishu stools are a really fun and green design! The stools are designed and made from pine in Australia, and hand painted with water based paints by various artists. Even though these are a bit more feminine and decorative than my usual taste... something about these is really appealing to me!
