When Hernandez Architects designed the interior of this store that sells bathroom fixtures in Valencia, Spain, a whimsical sculpture of a splash of water passing through the glass window was included to get the attention of people passing on the street.
Bruns Architecture have sent us some photos of their Rock River House in Rockton, Illinois.
The home sits right on the edge of the property to provide a panoramic view of the river below.
Did you notice the range hood/exhaust in the photo below? Probably not, because the designer, Steffani Aarons, placed shelving on either side, and as a result, it just blends into the scene instead of awkwardly standing out like so many of the range hoods we see in kitchens. Balance is a key principle of design, and the shelves on either side of the range hood help to balance the composition. Also notice the items placed on the shelves roughly match the height of the hood exhaust? That’s not just a lucky coincidence, that’s a designer introducing elements so that nothing in the scene overpowers, or seems heavier than any other part.
Who Cares?! Design have shared some photos with us of their Ice Bed.
To show the different stages of creating the bed, we have have split the photo galleries into three sections, the concept, the ‘making of’ and the end result. But first, here are some photos of the finished design and a few words from the designers.
Australian landscape architect Nathan Burkett, has been awarded a gold medal at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show for his garden installation named “Equilibrium.”
Nathan Burkett worked with a variety of companies including Woodform Architectural, who completed the Burnt Ash Timber arbor and timber detailing around the fire pit and garden beds. We have included a full list of the collaborators on this project after the gallery.
The master bathroom in this recently completed home remodel by Klopf Architecture, has a glass wall next to the shower, giving a view to the back yard, because the owners wanted to feel like they were showering in the garden.
