Beautiful Hanging Stair

5 Comments »

The Hanging Stair is a nice looking design by Canadian architects Blencoe Levine Associates that solves the common problem with stair treads when renovating. So I guess that’s pretty convenient when you run into roadblocks in the middle of your house project. Although this is a good use of space, and it’s a modern look, I would question the strength of it over time. The pictures are from architectural photographer Ioana Marinescu’s portfolio. – Via – Treehugger

Tallest Skyscraper in the World

13 Comments »

Hyder Consulting decided to amaze the whole world with a structure that will be twice as tall as the Burj Dubai, according to a consultant involved with the project making it by far the tallest tower ( skyscraper ) in the world. Considering the Burj Dubai will rise to 818m, the new tower will be over 1,600m tall, making it the world’s first mile-high tower. The architects are not sure (or at least, they’re not giving details) about where the amazing 5,250-foot-tall structure will be built – only, that it will be somewhere in the Middle East region. I don’t think that we really need something like this, but when some people want to amaze they try all kinds of outrageous things. Anyway I’m sure that the view would be amazing, but also if you stay at the “n+1″ flor you’ll spend some time just to come back to the ground. – Via – Bldgblog

Nora House

4 Comments »

This house ( Nora House ) is designed by Than & Videgard Hansson Arkitekter looks like a gray cubic box with a few small windows here and here. The interiors are beautiful, clean and spacious were light flows. The bad part of the house might be the space that doesn’t get to much light, because there are just a few windows. Construction is in situ cast concrete. Facades are rendered in plaster colored dark greyish blue. Protruding window boxes made of oak add a 3-dimensional quality to the facade, thus enhancing the depth and massive character of the interior. All glass panes are fixed, with wooden side vents and doors. – Via – Coolboom

X2 Resort Kui Buri – Bungalow

2 Comments »

Located on eight acres of virgin beach coast on the Gulf of Thailand, the X2 Resort Kui Buri Bungalow is meant to harmonize with its surroundings of undisturbed greenery and calm fishing villages. Kuiburi is a small remote beach city located in the southern part of Thailand, known by few and valued for its tranquil beaches and beautiful surroundings. Drawing upon the site’s natural beauty, the architect Duangrit Bunnag created a resort that seeks to be harmonious with its environment, both in terms or architecture and the use of building materials. As such, natura, ecology and simplicity were fundamental themes in X2’s design. Following this principle, local granite stone and wood were used as the primary raw materials, and at least 95% to pass through the property easily, using natural ventilation to help reduce the overall energy consumption of the resort. – Via – Coolboom
