A Thread for Fine Design
-
That is on fine residence Mike. I am wondering about potential overheating without some kind of shading on those main windows.
As for the elevators, I can't just let that one remain at the bottom of your post. I almost missed it, and that is one sweet system

Yes indeed, solar gain could well be an issue as Spain is a hot place!
I like this lift, so clean. It doesn't take much space either. I think consideration should be give to future lifts in domestic designs. This opens up more possible usage ..... now that I am approaching my more senior years, i tend to think more about these things ALSO the senior citizen sector of the Western World populations are increasing!

Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s adAPT micro-apartment design competition has a winner! Check it out here, http://www.gizmag.com/winning-micro-housing-design-nyc/25989 Its nothing ground breaking, just good solid adaptation of things that work well.

...... initially I thought, yes! ..... the no .... then yes again. What do you think? I imagine the question, 'where do I sit?' comes to mind
Sensei
Design conceived in terms of space and utility, sensei gathers two different objects in one same product, being these, two chairs or a small table. http://claudiosibille.com/sensei.php -
Saw the chairs on Gizmag. The first thought I had was only if the floor is truly level. I assume that this is a quick, "impromptu" arrangement. I didn't see any kind of interlock hardware, but I am sure there is something to unitize the work surface.

I've always loved this one. It's so tactile.

I think the birdhouse tiles are ill-advised. Again the solar gain problem. Also I'd rather have a built-in elevator. Who wants to see that, much less ride in it (more than once
)Rest is looking good! -
Just saw this posted on Facebook. Thought someone would like it.

Such fine work.
This is by David Fletcher http://www.dbfletcher.com/
He has designed a few tables like this, mostly I believe for Yachts.
Bloody brilliant. -
