the silent shell

Looking at these pics the only things I can think about are... peace and silence! 

You and your shell, perfectly merged in this beautiful environment, a delightful privacy to escape from the every-day noisy life.

 

 

The thrilling experience of living open-air...

the Holiday Cottage in Kapuvàr (hun)  -  TOTH PROJECT

The Selby is in your... cake!

Browsing as usual on the web, checking for news and websites updates I found this. Probably because of the lunch time, probably because it looks absolutely delicious, here the cake of the year!

A-oh!

 Nature is the inspiration for this neat and linear architecture. As I always say simplicity is beauty!

Water and stone excel in this villa as complementary material of the surrounding environment.

And don't forget: Sicily is one of the most beautiful place ever!

Never predicted, always a crux, stairs could be the tourning point of your project.

Restoration and reconstruction of an an old farm structure. A skillful composition and an expert genius gave birth to this wonderful building converted in a "nest" for start-up.

Contemporary flair

It's not easy to focus which is the real elegance, the flair, the gentleness in the new society. There are many influences from all over the countries and different life style and needs depending on the own business and family habits.

Just one thing doesn't change, one thing it's always perfect and universal, adaptable in every circumstance: simplicity and care of details.

Casa Cor, Rio de Janeiro (bra) - GISELE TARANTO

sounds good!

 Gentle and firm the outline of this building, edges skewed and various thickness.

Everything performed to guarantee noise reduction and the natural light.

 A little bit too stiff inside...

A long tail

The extension of an existing residence generated a multifunctional building. 

Old and new, standard and extra. 

The new addition rests above the old building like a long tile on a bald head... Perfect.

Geometry, tough edges and straightness are my love! 

 

 The location does all the rest.

A perfect deal between creativity and enviroment.

Fuori salone

Milan (ita), the design week.

Impressive  and always effective the organization and the exhibit, especially the Fuori Salone: a city spent to the new (and old) craftmen and craftindustries. A springboard for the coming designers. Suggestive settings, coreographies and structures, but the winner was...

... the cookies curtain! eat it and see what's behind! (ed: it tasted delicious)
