Two-level Triose building in Lonavala, India

Posted: 09 Dec 2011 05:07 AM PST

This exquisite model of modern architecture is one of the most impressive building in that particular area. It’s called Triose and it’s located in Lonavala, India. The building was designed by Sanjay Puri Architects and it features a beautiful contemporary architecture, with impressive angled spaces and geometrical lines.

The Triose building is a two-level structure that houses retail shops, a food court, two restaurants, a lodge bar and an entertainment gaming area. Building it wasn’t easy, especially since the goal was to create a visually imposing building that would also allow impressive views over the surroundings. In fact, when you think about it, this design is actually perfect for that purpose because it manages to do both things in the same time.

The building features a concrete shell that protects the interior and forms a frame while also forming large open spaces that act as a buffer between the interior and the exterior and offer panoramic views. The Triose building has been divided into three volumes. A central circulation spine connect them all. One of these volumes is the restaurant on the first floor. There’s a higher volumes that includes the food court. The third volumes is the gaming area. The building also includes a beautiful sheltered deck and also an extensive parking level that can accommodate over 100 cars.{found on archdaily}

This is a collection from East Camp Home and the images printed are actual photographs taken by Valerie Shaff. Valerie, together with Lucy Bohnsack, formed East Camp Home a few years ago.

This particular collection is very beautiful. Each pillow features a different picture. It's a collection focused on birds. They are all very beautiful.

The colors chosen for the background also help bring out the best in the picture. This is one of the most impressive pillow prints we've ever presented.

The New Bau Sallinger Office Is A Mix Of Old And New

Posted: 08 Dec 2011 10:47 PM PST

The construction company Sallinger Bau GmbH recently finished its new office. The Bau Sallinger Office is located in Liebenfels, Austria and was designed by Spado Architects. The site area measures 14,746 square meters and the new construction of the office started in 2009 and ended in 2011. The company is specialized in earth-moving, structural and civil engineering. It’s a growing family business and it reached a point when an office was a must-have.

It’s a large company and it can handle projects of any dimension. The former office of the company was also the residential home of the family. Finally, those two areas are now separated. The new office is a sort of combination between the old and new. The office is basically a one-storey building located to the south of the former residential house of the owners. Moving from one place to the other was simpler in this case.

The new Bau Sallinger Office has high ceilings and a spacious and clean interior. There are several walls that divide the spaces. Since it’s a growing family-business, the office is also opened to new development possibilities and nothing is definitive there. The facade of the new office is entirely made of glass and has a second layer of exposed concrete in front of it. The shell offers sun shading and it also camouflages the building. The office and the building itself has a geometrical shape and multiple openings. The interior is simple, spacious and somewhat formal.{pics by Kurt Kuball and found on archdaily}
