Time Out…

…I am left breathless by Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge in Botswana.  Brought into being by Fox Browne Creative and Michaelis Boyd Associates with Nicholas Plewman Architects, this resplendent retreat feeds the senses at every turn.  Let’s go to the land where the elephants roam…and maybe, just maybe…we will stay forever…

Light the Way…

…a central path absorbs the guest and channels him to the different rooms of the club. The path’s continuity is enhanced by the play of light of materials. Lights follow a slanted ceiling and angled wall, changing the dynamics of the corridor. Private Clubhouse in Hebei, China, is the inception of Crossboundaries…created to house VIP guests of it’s owner.
