The Birdy Chair is a piece of furniture with a really innovative design. Each birdy chair is handmade of wood, liana and leather.The dried liana is made flexible and easy to handle by hot water steam and wrapped on the frame made of wood. When the liana is dried again it is very strong and hard to break. The birdy chair is available in real leather and artificial leather. The measurements are 134 cm x 121 cm x 127 cm, and manufactoring time for each Birdy chair is about 100 to 120 hours.. Because of the design of this chair it fits very well in bright and open lofts, apartments, houses or conservatories. The warm color and the natural processed materials make you feel “at home” and very comfortable.

The Pixel House is an interesting project designed by Mass Studies and has an innovative design and a curve like geometry. It just looks like each pixel of stone jelled together to create this astonishing building, which apparently gives you an effect similar to that of a 3-dimensional picture.

By using a simple orthogonal bricks, the smooth shape is digitized nto discrete units. This tectonic tension between the larger smooth form and the individual bricks parallels the tension between the individual house and the row and between the buildings, as described by the master plan, and the hilly landscape. The bricks also provide a very tangible sense of scale and of the making, the process of turning the abstract into the real, manifest in the grain and the inability to “zoom” in beyond a certain scale. The number of pixels determines the smoothness of a digital image; the smoothness of this house is determined by the brick modulethe result is a 9,675 Pixel house (1 Pixel = 1 Brick).

The middle piece of the house, phase two, occupies the back yard as defined in the master plan. By placing it in this zone this piece of the building occupies the semi-private backyard but is accessible directly from the front yard. It invites the community to share this space by taking it out of the housing row. The owner plans to use this space as a community center during the day and as part of the private living space at nights and weekends. Taking advantage of the opposite cycles between educational and residential uses the space performs double duties.

This house was designed for a young family with two children. This family is very interested in the larger community and plans on sharing their exterior spaces with the community. They intend to create a day care for neighborhood children. In addition to being a house this structure will end up also functioning as a community center. For those who are interested in documentation on the building ( drawings, models and photographs ) you can check this pdf file.
