Rotating Sphere Lounger By Ornate Garden

Rotating Sphere Lounger is created by Ornate Garden and made from pressure treated pine laminates, which form a circular diameter of approximately 2.4 meters on this particular model. Each timber circle is approximately 90mm wide and 120mm deep and if you counted the half circles that run from top of the sphere to the ground you will find it consists of 10 sections. In between each section is a polycarbonate window. This protects the inside from the rain and wind but also allows you to look out of the lounger.

Inside the sphere all around the edge is a seating area with a table in the centre. The table of the sphere is adjustable so it can be lowered to the same height as the seat

House RR, São Paulo by Andrade Morettin Arquitetos

The RR house in Sao Paulo by the Brazilian Andrade Morettin Arquitetos lies close to the sea in a humid climate surrounded with thick vegetation.

The quasi-industrial feel of the generous 220-square meter house is offset by the towering wall of greenery that surrounds it, and the inside-outside feel of a platform in the jungle is enhanced by the hammocks hung casually on the wooden frame.

A combination of full-height wooden and glass opening screens allow these compartments to become part of the main double-height living area, six meters high, which in turn can be opened up to the outside world. Pre-fabrication kept costs down and speeded up construction and means the entire structure sits lightly on its idyllic site.
