The Sliding Top by Minimal

I was happy to receive Minimal’s new project, The Sliding Top designed by Stefano Venier.  Minimal states:  While the countertop silently slides ahead through a gentle push, it reveals both a singular induction stainless steel cooktop and a retractable faucet. When it’s open, the top serves as a sophisticated linear table that can be a bar, a serving or a dining space, while closed the kitchen forms a unique block.

Major magic from Minimal…let’s cook…

Slow Start

It was a very busy weekend, and I am having a bit of a slow start.  I really would like to spend a good part of the day here.

But in reality, it is time to start marching to the beat of my drum.  Happy Monday.

Concrete Walls

Love the holes in the walls of the Espacio de las Artes at Santa Cruz, the Photography Centre of the Tenerife Island.  I love the color of the concrete, also.  It reminds me of an expensive suit.  Created by the architects Herzog & de Meuron.

Metropol Parasol

I was excited to find these images of the striking Metropol Parasol in Seville by German architect J Mayer H.  The Metropol Parasol is described as an ‘icon’ but it actually is a multiuse piece of architecture that has a number of functions designed to make the plaza it is located in more attractive to the local community.  It is the largest mostly wooden structure in the world to be held together by glue.  Isn’t the Metropol Parasol amazing?

Time Out

We are on our way to Sun Slice House by Steven Holl Architects.  This weekend house on Lake Garda for an Italian lighting company owner and his family is organized to frame slices of sunlight.  The steel frame and concrete structure is skinned with an alloy of copper, steel, chromium, and nickel, which weathers to a leathery red color. I love how the earthy red plays against the green of nature and the blue water and sky.  The interior is white and concrete.  I think we’ll enjoy our stay at Sun Slice House.
