The Exchange Amsterdam. ROOM 603Eighties room by Roos Soetekouwphoto © Mirjam Bleeker A recent trend in hotel architecture and design has shown the surrounding environment to have a strong influence on the exterior design of a hotel.
Recently there has been an effort on the part of the architect to seamlessly blend the façade of the hotel with the cityscape of the surrounding community. It has been important to the architects to maintain the 'vibe' of the atmosphere. Because of this continuity the interior design has taken a different direction, making an effort to surprise the guest when they walk into the doors. More and more interiors are becoming their very own ''wonderlands'', a world different from the streets outside. House. We love the global cool design sensibility of Casamidy products.
It is firm that combines that design sensibility with a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship. All products are designed by the founders, husband-and-wife team Anne-Marie Midy and Jorge Almada, and manufactured by more than 40 artisans, artists and craftspeople in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico. The materials – iron, leather, tin, blown glass, wood – are turned into timeless and distinctive furniture and furnishings- seating, tables, shelving, lighting, headboards, mirrors and other accessories. The team has created customized pieces for numerous interior design firms in Europe and the U.S.

The interior architecture of this family home in the French Alps is inspired by mountains and valleys in a modern character where organic forms are composed around a strip of wood. The entire program, construction, and interior architecture are all built around the focal point of the chalet – a large room where the family comes together around a warm hearth.

City Circus Hostel in Athens, Greece. Photo © Olga Tzimou Two hostels on Yatzer within two weeks of one another? It seems we may be in the midst of a trend. So has the hostel finally shaken its reputation for its gloomy 'musty' atmosphere and institutional design? Once known more for accommodating rowdy, alcohol loving students on holiday, the hostel is stepping up its game and going after an entirely different clientele. It would make sense, one would hope, that given the economy the option would now exist for travel without breaking the bank.

City Circus embraces what has come to be known as the 'adventurer', 'explorer' way of life. Connect:Homes Connect 2.1 Modern Prefab Pop-Up. The recently launched Connect:Homes has set out to design and manufacture modern and affordable green prefab homes, all made in one California factory. The units can be shipped most anywhere and with relatively low costs in comparison to other green prefabs on the market.
The company just partnered with West Elm and designer Kishani Perera to deck out the interior of the Connect 2.1 Modern Prefab Pop-Up that was just unveiled at Dwell on Design 2012 in June. Baker D. Chirico ou la boulangerie du bonheur. Baker D. Chirico ou la boulangerie du bonheur.
