1ℓimit - Faucet Design by Yonggu Do, Dohyung Kim & Sewon Oh & Yanko Design

One Liter Limited 1ℓimit faucet looks more like an elegant test tube inverted on top of a tap. The glass tube holds exactly one liter of water, sufficient for a quick handwash. http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/02/04/one-liter-limited/

Hug Chair by Ilian Milinov & Yanko Design

A Chair for Clingy Lovers If you’ve ever had someone sit in your lap, you know that 15 minutes is about the max your legs can handle. It’s really not fair.

The permanent camp is located on a remote pristine mountain on a sheep station in central western NSW, Australia. The tower is sited at the edge of a ridge, surrounded by large granite boulders and ancient dead trees. Its remote location affords panoramic views for hundreds of miles to the horizon. This structure was the realisation of a dream for the client. http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.projectview&upload_id=10358

Architecture - StumbleUpon

Over the past seven years, at our creative agency, Access , we have worked with a number of residential and commercial property developers from Abu Dhabi to Sydney, helping them with development and strategy. Yet we see so often the sad sight of yet another mediocre building going up. We see city councils approving mediocre design and we see cities looking uglier because of it. We see property developers rushing to get their building up, wanting to make a quick sale and profit, and not really caring or thinking about the aesthetics of the building. Does the building enhance the surrounding area or make it worse? Will the building still look great 10, 15 or 20 years from now? http://www.thecoolhunter.co.uk/architecture/

DIY: Furniture Makeovers - StumbleUpon

http://www.bellemaison23.com/2009/09/diy-furniture-makeovers.html I'm obsessed with making-over old, worn out furniture. It's amazing how almost any old piece can be totally transformed with new paint, hardware and a little imagination! Here are three examples from Ladies Home Journal...click here to read the entire article. Out-dated side table with stone top transformed into a bright and cheerful accent piece!

Trilobis 65 has been designed on four separate levels connected by a spiraling staircase. The top level is 3.5 metres above sea level. The next level is at 1.4 metres above sea level and hosts the daylight zone with all services and allowing outdoor access. The third level is situated at 0.8 metre below sea level, semi-submerged, and is devoted to the night-time zone. At 3.0 metres below sea level, totally submerged, there is the underwater observation bulb, an intimate and mediative place. The shape of Trilobis 65 allows the annular aggregation of more modular units, creating island colonies. http://www.sub-find.com/trilobis65.htm
