Time Out

How would you like to spend the day together?  Let’s make some mischief…

let’s jump in the car…

and enjoy a bit of retail therapy…

…and a tasty treat…

we’ll swing by the office to check on things…

stop and buy flowers and head back to my place…

you arrange the flowers…

and I make dinner.  So lovely to have you.

Ant Farm House/Xrange

Xrange, an architectural firm located in Taiwan, created Ant Farm House.   To preserve an existing indigenous stone house, xrange wraps a new layer of high living spaces around it to create an “extreme” new house of outrageous proportion.  The form strategy creates a “found interior” for the new house from the “internalized exterior” of the old house.

Time Out

I love the projects coming out of Poland.  The Zmianatematu cafe by xm3 is no exception.  If you would be kind enough to join me, we are off to Lodz today for a friendly cup of coffee.

Light fixtures hang down between curved plywood ribs…

Patches of plaster are intentionally left unfinished…

It’s still too early in the day to spice things up, yes?

Step up to the bar and let’s order…

Apple

I have been inspired by Katherine  over at oliveryaphe and I am jumping on her Apple bandwagon today.  As Katherine points out,  “Apple does furnish a room.”
