Bookshelf with fireplace incorporated

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 08:34 AM PDT

Books and fireplaces don't usually go very well together, unless you're using the books to start a fire. But there's someone who thins this could work. And this someone actually did something about it. He created a fireplace that is incorporated in a bookshelf.

It's called Helios and it's a very creative space. The bookshelf is made from black or white painted steel, so it's going to go on fire. And the books are not either, because the fireplace is protected by a 8 mm thick safety glass. There's also a remote control that you can use to turn on the fireplace. It's definitely an interesting concept that would turn your living room, or any room you choose to place it in, a very interesting place.

If you're looking for a special and original piece to include in your home, then you'll probably like this one a lot. It's not just for fun, because of the fireplace. It's also equally particle, since it's a bookshelf that can be used for storage.

Beautiful Café at 3465 California Street

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 05:52 AM PDT

Terry and Terry Architecture transformed a retail shop into a neighborhood café/bakery in San Francisco, California. The project turned out very well and the site is now the perfect place to drink your coffee or dine.

Siting on a 2000sqf site, Rigolo Café was a beautiful place to begin with, but it lacked natural lighting and the lofty feel. To make this happen the architects removed the low-lying drop ceiling to reveal the existing roof structure, which consists of beautiful dark beams, and inserted a slit skylight, flooding the space with natural light.

Furthermore, they designed a wood ribbon wall in order to connect the front and the back entrances, and with this they also provided built-in seating. Combining the ribbon wall with the wooden beams the café seems to be a bigger and more interesting place.

Featuring a terrace and French-inspired menu the Rigolo Café is the best place to be at lunch.

Garden pavement lights by Serralunga

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 04:23 AM PDT

Designed by Roberto Paoli, this walkover lighting system is certainly innovative. We all remember Michael Jackson and his music video called Billy Jean. At that time it was something unheard of, to have the floor light up as you step on it. But now all of that is possible in the form of garden pavement lights.

They come in a string of five that you can arrange in any way you want to create the forms and shapes that you want. Your garden will transform into a dream land. It's not the same as in Michael Jackson's music video, but still, it's close. It's a great way to decorate your garden. You can accomplish 3 things in the same time: you provide a path to walk on so that you won't ruin the flowers or grass, you provide lighting for the night time and it also looks good.

I'm not sure what the price for these things is, but I'm sure it's interesting as well.Another innovation based on Michael Jackson's brilliant ideas, another thing to thank him for.

Ultimate Lake Housing in Italy

Posted: 24 Apr 2011 04:08 PM PDT

The next complex designed by C+S Associati is an important project for the citizens of Pordenone, Italy. The Largo San Giorgio site, where the buildings stand, was inaccessible and private for many years.

The complex is built around the lake, park and the square of San Giorgio church. All of these combined create a splendid public open space. The square is open during day but at night it closes up due to security reasons. The design focuses on the relationship between architecture and landscape. As a result the square is made out of prun stone, the bridges over the lake out of larch wood and the paths of the park out of ochre concrete. Moreover, the buildings present different color schemes, so you can’t tell if the effect on the building’s fold is a shadow or not.

With houses open to the lake, large windows that bring the outdoors indoor, this complex is a wonderful place to live, with the lake becoming its main feature.{found on archdaily}
