Checking In At the Office…

…Jingyuan No.22 project by C+ Architecture, Beijing, transforms an old cotton warehouse into an internet company.  A fresh, light, and bright space…now promotes ideas to whirl freely and allows immediate access to communicating with co-workers.  A tension-breaking slide or a climbing-to-new-heights staircase brings out the best in everyone. There is even a convenient space to park your wheels…artistically photographed by Xia Zhi.

The Barn…

…a very special heritage renovation project in Hobart, Australia.  The Barn belongs to architects Alex Nielsen and Liz Walsh. Attracted to the 1829 structure’s raw space and its rough and ready texture, the talented architects created a cozy and exceedingly charming space in which to reside.
