There’s a new “green” office building in London, on the shore of the River Thames at One Westminster Place in Southbank. The sustainable construction was designed by Sheppard Robson and is wrapped in glass that reflects the sunlight in a rainbow of colors creating a crystal like effect, varying throughout the day.
Other than the looks, the 18 stores high building has an excellent BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) rating. How it gets done? A buffer is being created between the glass facade and the building so that the air inside is used for energy. The steel structure is really smart and has a central atrium that brings natural light to the offices so that it uses less electricity. There’s also a roof terrace on top for a great view of t whole area. We love it, how about you? – via World Architecture News

Hammocks are popular because you can relax and swing yourself into a nice afternoon nap. Hanging beds extend that idea on a larger scale as they can give you much more room to stretch out and share it as well. Unlike hammocks, hanging beds suspend from the ceiling which gives two great advantages – they are space saving and cleaning under beds becomes a non-issue!
The whole bed can be raised right to the ceiling leaving the room seemingly empty. This is a great feature for those who live in small spaces and need to have multi-functional rooms. The hanging bed concept can also be applied to outdoor spaces like the veranda where some people who live in very hot climates might choose to sleep for comfort. Getting your own hanging bed is a swinging idea! - Via

There is no way you can miss this sofa design by Lila Lang. One half is a plain looking sofa with a decidedly curvy old fashioned style. The other half appears to be climbing the wall! You have to admit there is something whimsical about this design. On one hand it fulfills a function – somewhere to sit on. On the other hand, it is a perhaps a piece of art or even a statement about things driving us up the wall perhaps? If you tilt your head and view the wall as the floor, you will notice the Canape is almost symmetrical designed so it should fit corner walls in either direction. This design was recently featured in an exhibition Parcours Saint Germaine in Paris France. – Via

Until now we saw a lot of multi functional pieces of furniture but nothing like this before. This ingenious storage system doubles as a giant LED clock, so you’ll actually be getting some utility out of an otherwise single-purpose bookshelf. The oversize clock conceals red 7-segment LED displays for each digit in the edges of the storage cubes. Measuring in at a 28 (w) x 14 (h) x 5 (d), you certainly won’t miss the time on this clock. A really unique way to know what time it is …and I’m sure that this clock would look awesome in the dark, just try to imagine. Despite not being able in the US ( Hong Kong manufacturer, Anka ), it’s good inspiration for a little DIY project! – Via – Technabob
