Portée wall furniture by Joachim Jirou-Najou frees the floor space and uses the walls as a support. The collection includes a bench, a chair, a console, shelves and four storage units, which are made from folded lacquered steel. Love it.

FLOWER FAUCET BY DAVID VERCELLI
Nice concept, but I wonder if I can still drink my water straight from the tap (yes, presently we can do that safely in Singapore). Link

ROOM RESCUE
Post under

room rescue
Adding a study area into a room meant for sleeping is not easy - especially so when the room is tiny. In this example, the home owner wants to create a space-saving resting cum study area for her daughter, an undergraduate. The latter requested for a simple but functional design.
To free up space, I propose to line the new study table and book storage cabinets against one wall. This would also function well as a nice backdrop for the existing bed. Plenty of books can be stored within the recessed areas behind sliding doors. Reflective materials like glass and mirror would help enhance the feel of space within.

Original bedroom
Proposed design for new girls' bedroomBy building up a raised timber deck, the newly carved-out area by the window becomes a cozy sleeping 'pod' for the kids. The back windows - which are not centralized to the wall - can be lined up with a combination of full height black-out curtains (at the sides) and a beautiful roller blind (in the middle). The symmetrical layout brings order to the room and is more pleasing to the eye.

Proposed design for 3rd storey
Room Rescue debuts!
A young couple wanted to create a 'home within a home' for both of them. It was proposed to convert the top storey of the 3-storey house into a livable space for two while the existing ceiling was removed to reveal an attic area which can be used for resting purposes.

Proposed layout
Proposed design for TV area on 3rd storeyFinishes like cultured stone, marble, dark-stained timber and high gloss laminates can be incorporated into the space to achieve a contemporary yet 'visually stimulating' look. A water feature installed below the newly created staircase leading to the attic space can also enhance the visual effect with water and lighting play.
I propose to locate the study + working area to one corner of the space, with a storage cabinet overhanging the floor to act as a partition for privacy (which will not take up any floor space). The cabinet is under lit to provide illumination for reading purposes.

The owner seeks a new look for his tired looking living and dining rooms. By making use of his existing classical furniture, I seek to create the ultimate gentleman's pad. I also played with the layout of these old pieces and added matching new ones (like the 2 armchairs and glass coffee table) to achieve a cohesive look here.
Living/ dining areas - before

PLOT 35 ORDOS PROJECT BY JUAN PABLO MAZA

china
Plot 35 of the Ordos Project in Inner Mongolia, China is part reality part fantasy. As we all know, the flat landscape in Mongolia is known its amazing blue skies but harsh weather conditions. Architect Juan Pablo Maza of FRENTE Arquitectura came up with the idea of a large underground villa to take advantage of the ground’s natural insulation. But the highlight of the project here is the living area, which is suspended above the main ground amid a 'jungle' of tall beams. Breathtaking.

Los Angeles industrial designer Jang Yoon's Janus reminds me of some Star Wars set piece. The back of the chair can be folded and stacked one on top of another.
