Le Corbusier’s Cabanon – the interior 1:1

Le Corbusier built the Cabanon in 1952 for his holidays at Cap-Martin on the Cote D'Azure, retreating there every summer for more than ten years. He claimed to have sketched the design for the Cabanon in 45 minutes. The interior is decorated with murals and bespoke furniture and fittings. The reconstruction will remain on show until 28 April.

Kolumba Museum / Peter Zumthor

Situated in Cologne, Germany, a city that was almost completely destroyed in World War II, the museum houses the Roman Catholic Archdiocese’s collection of art which spans more than a thousand years. Zumthor’s design delicately rises from the ruins of a late-Gothic church, respecting the site’s history and preserving its essence. ”They [the Archdiocese] believe in the inner values of art, its ability to make us think and feel, its spiritual values.

This project emerged from the inside out, and from the place,” explained Zumthor at the museum’s opening. More about the project and more of Vazquez’s images after the break. Zumthor, consistently mindful of the use of the materials, and specifically their construction details, has used grey brick to unite the destroyed fragments of the site. OAK bar by dePaor Architects.

The undulating structure sits in the centre of the OAK bar and provides a canopy over the space. It's made from strips of veneered plywood that slot into one another. Perforated wooden vaults frame the entrance into the café-bar. More restaurants and bars on Dezeen » Bohlin Cywinski Jackson - Creekside Residence.
