Apartment Building in Deinokratous Street. A Home In Massachusetts Designed For River And Ocean Views. Hammer Architects have completed the Long Dune Residence, a home designed to take advantage of the views of the ocean and the Pamet River in Truro, Massachusetts.
From the architects Perched on a coastal bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this new residence is designed to additionally afford views of the Pamet River and a fresh water pond. The entry side of the house appears very solid with its thick super-insulated wood clad walls and narrow strip windows enclosing the bathrooms, outdoor showers, stair, and laundry room. Little is revealed until entering the house through a tall glass door that emerges as one approaches the house.
Once inside, the living and dining rooms, which occupy the building’s center, open to the dramatic water views through a floor to ceiling glass wall that features large sliding doors connecting to a multi-level outdoor deck. A screened porch with a referential kite shaped roof occupies the intersection of the two geometries providing views in all directions. Shane Schneck's Bollard light is four lamps in one.
Northmodern 2015: American designer Shane Schneck has created a silicone lamp for Danish brand Menu that can be used in four different positions.
Diffused light comes from the circular end of the conical Bollard light, designed for Menu by Shane Schneck. "The form of a lamp is the result of a desire to re-imagine the typical pendant, made possible by adapting LED technology and high-density silicone," said Schneck, whose studio Office for Design is based in Stockholm. Schneck introduced a small lip around the tip of the cone to form a circular base and a slot that allows the electric cable to switch position. "With study models we realised adding a 'collar' and clip on the side would add three positions to the typical pendant scenario," Schneck told Dezeen.

Bright Two-Room Modern Apartment In Sweden. Making the most of its central location in the lovely city of Gothemburg, Sweden, this bright and spacious two-room apartment offers extensive surrounding views.
Spotted on Alvhem, the crib is located in a turn of the century building and preserves some original elements, such as the impressive ceiling height and wooden floors, which were, of course, renovated. As you enter through the generously-sized hallway, you have a global image of the apartment, with its stylish living zone and kitchen organized in an open layout. The kitchen is fully equipped and has an unusual amount of storage and work surfaces due to the practical kitchen island.
From the living room there is direct access to a balcony, offering a great spot for coffee and contemplation. Numerous lighting units were embedded in the design scheme in order to bring in a soothing atmosphere during the long Swedish winters. Recommended For You. Fuentealba House.

Overlooking the Farze Crook by the high speed train rail, WoodTek headquarters building is the first ever CLT building in Taiwan. We wanted this architecture to be a landmark not just in it’s physical appearance but also as a symbolic approach of Green Architecture development in Asia. Should this CLT building proves to be successful, the landscape of Taiwan’s concrete dominated urban jungle will change dramatically.
Until today, most of the buildings in Taiwan’s urban area are built out of concrete which is against global movement toward low carbon and eco friendly Green Architecture. To design a CLT building in Taiwan, we have to face several challenges. Structure system is another challenge for this project. We also tried to break the stereotype of ” boxlike ” CLT construction image. . * Location to be used only as a reference. The Jetty To The Mont-Saint-Michel.
