Like Space | Turfed Corridor for Play between Rooms

Very cool Idea for a house - splitting in two

with accented play strip in the middle.

Could also be a Pool ?

Like Idea | Make your own Plant + Herb Screen

This could be quite easy to make/build if you have a screen frame

( or make it yourself with timber). Use plastic bottles and fill it with small plants

or even herbs.

Like Design | Playful Products at Milan Design Fair 2012

As the relevance of design is becoming hotly debated, young designers are approaching their work with a sense of mischief. Above : Kirstin Overbeck used the colourful world of sweets as inspiration for her Candy Collection, seen at Ventura Lambrate. She jokes: "Products with zero calories guaranteed!"  .

Shingle Style Lake Home

Over at ron brenner architects we have been working on a new shingle style lake home for a client of ours. You can see the you tube animation below.

The home features an L-shaped plan configuration with the 3 car garage on the front leg of the L.  This allows all the public living spaces and the 3 second floor bedrooms above to be arranged across the rear of the home; taking advantage of the beautiful lake views.
