Area Bed by Alain Gilles for Magnitude
Area Bed created by Alain Gilles for Magnitude is a novel bed concept that takes into account what a bed is traditionally used for: sleeping, but also the fact that today the bedroom is now also used as a bathroom, personal office, or extra room or living room…
The bed head can serve as room divider and room organizer to redefine the architecture of the room, but in some cases it can also wrap around the walls to create a cocoon-like-space.
The “Area” bed plays on asymmetry to bring a dynamic to something that is usually seen as rather static. It is fairly graphic thanks to its extra playful elements such as the small bedside table, “pocket table”, repositionable lamp and bench that organize the “area” where one sleeps. It is a comfortable and welcoming bed like all beds from Magnitude.

‘Kameha Bay Portals,’ Hotel in Mallorca by Tec Architecture & Marcel Wanders
Tec Architecture and interior designer, Marcel Wanders, have teamed up again to create Kameha Bay Portals, a high-style luxury resort hotel in Mallorca, Spain. A little over a full year away from completion, Kameha Bay Portals has recently been admitted by the Leading Hotels of the World into its exclusive hotel association – and I thought you might be interested in taking a peek.
Located on the south coast of the sunny Spanish isle, and within walking distance of the exclusive yacht harbour Puerto Portals, this resort will offer its guests warm service, exclusivity, and a truly unique ambience when it opens its doors in early 2013. Be sure to check Expedia for deals on this once completed, so you can be one of the first guests to arrive at this brand new truly one of a kind hotel. The interplay of hotel and nature paired with the highest standards of ecological sustainability and energy efficiency are particularly important in the resort’s design. Because of this, the development of the Kameha Bay Portals will involve a ‘green building’, which, with its own sandy beach and access to a small bay, will blend perfectly into the natural surroundings.

They have delivered their vision of Elipson’s iconic, spherical Planet speakers. This collaboration gave rise to the Sound Tree, a musical tree sculpture designed for exceptional spaces.
The trunk-shaped base contains the subwoofer, while the cables spread from the base to the ceiling, like branches. Each of the round fruits is actually a speaker. Standing under the tree, we are thus surrounded by sound, like being at the heart of a musical cocoon. Read More…

“Stickwork,” Installations by Patrick Dougherty
North Carolina-based artist Patrick Dougherty has gained an international reputation for his natural-wood structures and has created hundreds of monumental, site-specific sculptures around the world. His work is constructed from saplings gathered from local sources and shaped into massive, swirling forms as high as 40 feet.
Dougherty crafts large-scale sculptures from saplings: weaving, snagging, and flexing sticks into playful, nestlike architectural forms that evoke themes of shelter, habitat, and sustainability. Created of organic matter, his works have a natural life cycle, changing over time as the sticks settle and decay, eventually returning to the earth they grew from. Read More…

Eco-Friendly Swimming-Pool in the Thermal Center of Royat by X Vincent Callebaut
Vincent Callebaut Architectures have come up with a sustainable swimming pool design for the thermal center of Royat city in France as a dynamic response to the ambition of Royat city to build a mobilization swimming pool represented by attractive and contemporary architecture researched by the patients of spas.
The architecture proposes the construction of a “planted wave” that covers the pool hall under its curve. By meeting the needs of the program as precisely as possible, the project emphasizes three major themes that include the urban signal, the welfare of the patients and high environmental quality.
The “green wave” designed by the architects takes into account all the constraints of the site and presents a compact made-to-measure volumetry on stilts of the scratched surrounding frame.The Green Wave project sets a case of nature on the site and the planted roof ensure a great acoustic and thermal comfort inside the hall. The bio-climate cushion will also help in reducing the energetic expenditure by accumulating the heat in winter and by ventilating the hall naturally during summers.

Transparent Bubble Tent by Pierre Stephane Dumas
With incredible panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, the bizarre transparent structures are designed to get people as close to nature as possible.
Launched this year, the structures can be now be hired out at sites across France for around £400 pounds a night.
French designer Pierre Stephane Dumas said his “BubbleTree” creations are “unusual huts for unusual nights.”
He explained: “Having a night under the stars or seeing the sun rise and set is not something that many people experience anymore.
A normal tent or camper van means people miss out on these things. So I designed this eccentric shelter with the aim of offering an unusual experience under the stars while keeping all the comfort of a bedroom suite.The ceiling of the bubble has the Milky Way, guests will be able to enjoy this as well as the extraordinary light variation of the sunset and sunrise.”
