HOUSE POZUELO MADRID






The house is located in a 1-hectare site of fairly rectangular shape. Developed along the Eastern margin of the site, which runs adjacent to the road, it is structured around two axes cutting in an oblique angle.

The first axis, following the North-South direction, organizes the rooms in the house around a series of intersecting volumes that give rise to the different inside and outside spaces.

The second axis, materialized in a pergola or beam running in East-West direction, determines the relation between the building and the spaces surrounding the house.

The neatness of the design is enhanced with the clean choice of finishes.

Crazy design, Inhalt





Inhalt is the multicellular caravan by Mehrzelle.
"Using the online Configurator, every user sets up a design that is unique, their own layout that they can identify with. The configuration is generated by a computer using the customers inputs, and then the final design is done by parameters from the architects to yield an attractive and practicable result. The caravans are produced using the principles of mass customization: this allows both the individual wishes of the customer to be accommodated while producing the caravan with series methods. "

House N / 3LHD




PantovĨak, one of Zagreb’s most prestigious streets, which rests below the gaze of Sljeme, has been lined with freestanding family houses for decades. With its sculpted gardens and comfortable spaces between buildings, it exudes all of the admirable qualities of a pleasantly livable urban residential drive.

House N is situated in a quieter secondary neighborhood on this street, perched in the western hills and boasting a delightful panoramic view of the forest and the city.

Access to the landscape from the southern side, including a relatively narrow steeply sloping and elongated plot, was the key element that defined the position and layout of the house. Originally there was a substandard house on the plot. It did not satisfy the needs of the client and thus had to be replaced.

World's Largest Loop-the-Loop Stunt



Steve Truglia now holds the record for completing the world's largest loop-the-loop stunt, using "only a set of Dunlop tires" keeping their car on the road.

Fedaboa Belts



It’s always a bonus in our book when an accessory can be multi-functional and solve many problems simultaneously. These fluro hipster belts from Fedaboa are reversible, made from antibacterial and anti-allergenic rubber, unisex, 100% recyclable, waterproof and one size fits all! Available in 11 eye-popping colors, these fabulous, versatile belts are packaged in a very stylish and contemporary oyster shell container. At the bottom of each of the oyster containers, the story is told of how the shell casing was used by pearl fishermen. Just as the actual belt is multi-beneficial, so too is the packaging. You could re-use the oyster container as a jewellery holder, for travel or to hold your phone charger and cords etc. Genius! – Kate Vandermeer

Eco Bath System makes the most of every drop



Designed by designer Jang WooSeok, the “Eco Bath System” is a new concept that combines the functions of a sink and toilet bowl. Drawing inspiration from the natural flow of water on earth, the Eco Bath System accumulates the water used to wash your hands which further can be reused to clean the toilet. The inspirational design by the South Korean designer not just helps in sustaining the environment, by motivating the users to conserve water in their day-to-day life, but it also presents an elegant yet glossy accessory for the bathroom; satisfying the consumers in terms of efficiency as well as design.

DOPE!!!!!! 8Bitone Chiptunes Synthesizer App



Everyone's heard the stories about those guys who play entire concerts on their Game Boys, or who recompose symphonies onto NES cartridges. 8Bitone is kinda like that, except on your iPhone, and without the social suicide aspect.

8Bitone is a combination nonlinear audio editor and chiptunes synthesizer, chiptunes being music synthesized in real time on old computer hardware, i.e. 8-bit game soundtracks. While 8Bittone isn't the first chiptunes synth to hit the App Store, it certainly looks like the best: writing, editing and listening to music is all carried out through a thoughtful, attractive interface, and the end result sounds as vintage-y as it should. Due in the App Store any day now, price TBA.

CRAZY CROSS MUSEUM!!!! Justice would love this shit!!!




Set upon a steep hillside in Atizapan on the outskirts of Mexico’s largest metropolis will soon sit the New Tamayo Museum. The building will serve as a nucleus of education and culture - locally, regionally, and internationally - and continue to carry the name of the Oaxacan born artist Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991). The very strong and symbolic shape of the cross is a direct interpretation of the client’s preliminary program studies, defining an optimized organizational scheme for the Tamayo’s visitors and administrators.

In an attempt to hype up the mundane chore of making and serving tea, designers have come up with interesting designs that are truly a way up in tea kettles. Here we have some of the most unusual and interesting tea kettle designs that are beautifully designed to make great tea every time.

Robot Tiles



Hiroo Iwata developed these Robot Tiles. You have to imagine them as movable floor tiles which arrange them automatically in front of you as you walk. They’re covered with KURALON® EC, a textile made of conductive fibers. So when you step on it, it can detect in with direction you’re heading. It was part of the Tokyo Fiber ‘09 Senseware exhibition during the Milan furniture fair.
As always, a video will make it clear to you.

FUCKING AWESOME!!!! Transformer USB Drive!!!!



AM I THE BIGGEST FUCKING NERD FOR POSTING THIS SHIT?!?!?!!?!

What do you buy for the man who has nothing? While you ponder that nugget of vast intellectuality, I'll tell you about this 2GB Transformer memory stick (which is way better than these ones). Probably the awesomest USB drive I've seen in forever, the unit transforms from a normal looking USB ding-dongle into Ravage, a fierce jungle cat Decepticon (which some believe to be a dog, WHICH HE IS NOT YOU WILL NOT RUIN MY CHILDHOOD). Available fro pre-order from the BigBadToyStore, this piece of badassery will set you back $43 and ships in September. But the question remains: shouldn't you avoid trusting a Decepticon with your porno?*

Chen House by Marco Casagrande & Frank Chen





Land(e)scape by architect/artist duo Casagrande & Rintala in 1999 was one of my favorite installations. After the group dissolved, Marco Casagrande continued to explore the boundary between architecture and art.

I’m not an up to date person and didn’t know until now that Marco Casagrande has actually been building houses (my apology to the architect!) …

Chen House built in 2008 by Marco Casagrande, Frank Chen and the crew is almost as striking as Tadao Ando’s Azuma House. NO, this house may be better than Ando’s 1976 masterpiece - Ando’s early houses tried to recreate ‘tough’ living environment (coldness, dampness, and other inconveniences), but Chen House simply embraces its environment, including typhoons, earthquakes, flooding and heat.

Chen House reminds me of the very basic of Judo and Aikido, “yield to win.”

Vogue China- Liu Wen



For Vogue China Liu Wen takes on printed, ornamented and truly daring fashions with help from Josh Olins. The fanciful headwraps remind us of Liu’s turn in Pop but the moody, high contrast feel of this edit bears a charm all its own.

Writing on your toast



Sasha Tseng designed the concept for a message toaster that incorporates a little board where one can read quick notes. The memo also gets burnt into the toast, creating a fun toast-it note.

Light As Performance Art

Astonishing LED, Laser, and Light Photography from Hack N Mod on Vimeo.



Light performance photography is impressive enough, but shoving these light performance photographs into a video and putting a Depeche Mode-like music track on it? We're sold.

DJ Hero



If you’ve already mastered Guitar Hero and are looking for the next technological musical challenge, look no further, because DJ Hero has (almost) arrived. Apparently DJ AM has collaborated on it, but no word on other DJs who have been involved. Genres to be mixed include hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and dance. The controllers allow you to create your own original mixes, and plenty of cross-genre mash-ups.

There’s no official release date, but we can expect it sometime in the fall. And no pricing just yet, but I’d recommend that you start saving…
The actual set list will be posted closer to the release of DJ Hero, but what kind of songs do you think we can expect?

Awesome Video/Song, Phoenix - 1901
