The Moku Moku Yu Baths, designed by Klein Dytham Architecture in 2006, is a timber bathhouse set amidst pine forest at the Risonare Resort.

Using circles, the interpenetration of spaces serves to blur the usual division between inside and outside, and between male and female.

McDonald’s? Really? Yes. To be more precise, it is the McDonald’s on Edgware Road in London, where the company is testing a new design formula that, if it works, could be rolled out across Europe. I’m not sure what I think about this. It’s nice that they finally invest in stylish interior design but it’s weird to connect Jacobsen’s furniture and McDonald’s.

The roof and side facades are clad in the same material, aluminium plates, which merge the surface together, leaving the house smooth, without any ornamental details. The intimate areas of the house, including bedrooms and library, are sunken Read more [...]
