Lenticular Street Art: Trick Graffiti Works only at Angles. Lenticular Street Art: Trick Graffiti Works only at Angles Article by Steph, filed under Street Art & Graffiti in the Art category. You know what a lenticular image is, even if you’ve never heard the word. Applied to a rippled surface in a certain way, a lenticular image shifts in and out of focus depending on the angle you view it from, sometimes producing an animated effect.

It’s seen on billboards, children’s toys, and even on the streets. Check out these 18 works of lenticular graffiti, murals and other forms of urban art. ROA in London (images via: grievousbodilycharm) A latticed warehouse door at Corby House on Curtain Road in London provides the ideal setting for lenticular graffiti, and by far the best use of it (so far) was this rabbit by artist ROA.

Chinese architecture studio Neri&Hu sliced away the rear wall and replaced it with glass for this renovation of a 1930s townhouse in Shanghai. The three-storey building is located in the Tianzifang district of the Chinese city, where it originally functioned as a house for a single family. Neri&Hu's redesign converts the building into three divisible apartments, each with a combined living and dining room at the back and a bedroom at the front. A bulky metal staircase replaces the old timber steps that previously connected the floors.

Sandblasted glass (completed after photography) separates the stairway from the corridor of each apartment so that residents can see the outlines of neighbours passing by. A 45-degree skylight brings daylight into the stairwell, while a shared laundry room and terrace are positioned at the top. The building is arranged over split levels, so the architects have also inserted a second set of stairs within two of the apartments. Rethinking the Split House.

Share it: Carter Williamson Architects created this small home with interiors that seem to flow seamlessly right into the great outdoors. This Sydney, Australia house design features a massive sliding glass wall that lets natural light flood the space.

We love this sweet spot, outfitted with a window seat - the perfect place to read, chat with friends on the phone or in person, or daydream solo. At the foot of the window, the dining table offers an always pleasant view, regardless which seat you've snagged. Directly across the dining nook, the kitchen features clean, contemporary finishes. Sure, the mirrored backsplash may be a magnet for fingerprints and sink 'n stove splatter, but we love the way it doubles the amount of daylight as well as the view. Please Leave a Comment.

Space composition as seen from a single vantage point can offer surprising points of view. These Anamorphic Illusions by Swiss artist Felice Varini capture a mind-opening spectacle of geometry applied to three dimensional spaces. Based on a complex study of perspective, all the Anamorphic Illusions were created by the artist as part of a series of spaces. A simple change of perspective reveals the stunning works and gives depth to the space. Galleries, staircases, walkways, rooms, lounges or residential spaces – all can be adorned with colorful geometric shapes that alter the space in an unconventional way.
