Stunning natural structure…
This is no ordinary path in a forest. For Tallin’s 2011 European Capital of Culture and LIFT11, a festival showcasing 11 urban installations, Japan-based architect Tetsuo Kondo was formally invited to skillfully share his innovative designs at Kadriorg Park in Tallin, the capital of Estonia. The urban designer constructed a structural installation entitled A Path in the Forest for the event that took place from May to October 2011.

In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the United Arab Emirates National Day, a magically divine light show was orchestrated by Obscura Digital, a creative agency based in San Francisco, which developed the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Projections Project. The company did its research and were clearly prepared to honor the rich history of Abu Dhabi in their light projections through their skilled employment of three-dimension mapping.

Loving this office, it’s one way to make sure no one falls asleep in meetings!
Designed by Scandinavian architecture practice Schmidt Hammer Lassen, the new headquarters for Nykredit, one of the leading mortgage banks in Denmark, is quite stunning. The 10-story-tall structure allows for an ample amount of natural light thanks to its impressive glass facade. The most striking part of the design has to be the three suspended meeting rooms that are cantilevered off of the third and fifth floors.

I love Melbourne and would kill for a house like this…
A haven in the big city cannons. Shady and green outside, dark and cave like cool in. I loved this Fitzroy, Melbourne home when I first saw it in the September/October issue Inside Out. Found it again when I went back to drool over the portfolio of photographer James Greer (see my original post here). Love how he captured the light and shade, the dark against the vibrant green, the stylish and the edgy. Styling is by the incomparable Mr Jason Grant.
Beautiful but clean and simple architecture…
The house is used as a holiday home by a single person, who often invites guest to stay. It needed to be a space that could be used as a controlled studio with the feeling of being open, as well as to be able to morph into private and individual spaces when the house is full of visitors.
