Pearlescent Music Hall

Cor & Asociados have created a subtle music hall and home in a village near Allecante.
Love to see what can be done with such a simple shape as the rectangle.  Beautiful colours.











Worth Abbey by Heatherwick Studio.


'Worth Abbey by Heatherwick Studio. London designer Thomas Heatherwick has embedded curved threads of ash into dark walnut pews for an abbey in England’s South Downs.'

After looking into this design further, it's more about this image than the design instelf.  The colours, shapes and the pattern really appeal to me.

Hansha Reflection House.



Hansha Reflection House in Nagoya, Japan.  Designed by architects Studio SKLIM.

'In Greek mythology, Narcissus looked into the lake to admire his beauty. But what if the lake was animate and looking at its own reflection in Narcissus eyes?

Situated at the entrance of Misakimizube Koen, one of the picturesque parks fronting a lake and flanked by Sakura trees, the house was conceived to be an object with the environment.'

Designed by architects RO&AD of the Netherlands and Belgium, the Sunken Bridge provides a clever access to the Fort de Roovere,  part of a line of 17th century defence structures.
