Loving this wall, can’t imagine the time and effort it would have taken…

Of course they do only get about 4 weeks of summer in Norway (kidding!)…
The Summer house is located on the coast of Vestfold in the southern part of Norway. The house replaces an older building at the site. To get the planning permit, the project had to be well adjusted to the terrain, both in terms of shape, scale, material and color.

Love this water tower conversion…
The water tower, which dates from 1931, was converted into an unparalled twenty-first-century home spread over nine levels. Many challenges are faced in the design: letting more daylight in and strengthening the relationship with the back courtyard by inserting a three-level high window frame; maintaining the interior’s industrial characteristics by working with materials like steel, concrete and glass; and in the tower, ensuring an effective, efficient layout for several small round rooms that lay one on top of the other, while preserving the tower’s spaciousness.

Fittingly, the design of their house blurs the boundary between the city and the landscape. From the ground floor courtyard to the highest roof deck, space and light are manipulated to create spaces at once connected to the glimpses of sky, city and horizon, while maintaining privacy from the immediate urban environment.

Love the concept of this compact plug
This design idea by Royal College of Art student Min Kyu Choi does not stop with a single cord – multi-plug cords were naturally factored into the mix as well. These ingenious extensions do not even require the simple 90-degree spin to fold out into full shape and thus save even more space despite being perfectly compatible with standard sockets.

I’m in love with the lounger, I’d even give up my Barcelona chair for it (and that’s saying something!)
The Aluminium Chair is one of the greatest furniture designs of the 20th century. The Aluminium Chair stands out for its intelligent combination of materials. The covers are attached inside the aluminium profile sections and simply stretched over the frame, transforming them from mere coverings to a load-bearing part of the structure. It adapts to fit the body snugly and delivers great comfort, even without extensive upholstery.

Anything with 11.2 channels and a price tag of almost £5000 can’t be bad.
Name a truly great British film and chances are it was made at Pinewood Studios, the most cinematic landmark Old Blighty has.
Its reputation has resonated worldwide thanks to the biggest names in cinema filling its spaces and next month you will be able to get an insight into the craft and guile that goes on in there, when the Movieum of London in the city’s Southbank showcases underwater photographs from movies such as Casino Royale, The Da Vinci Code and Elizabeth: The Golden Age, as well as television features and music videos.
