| Spectacular Residence on a Cliff Edge Inspired by a Picasso Painting Posted: 26 Nov 2010 06:33 AM PST This unbelievable looking residence seems sprung out of a science-fiction movie. Rising on the edge of a cliff measuring no less than seventy meters, House Holman has a spectacular architecture. The project comes from Durbach Block Architects and is located in Dover Heights, a coastal, eastern suburb of Sydney. Featuring unexpected angles of sight given by the elastic geometries of the construction, the exterior design is highly modern and couldn’t be more intriguing. According to the designers, the project was inspired by a famous art work belonging to Picasso. The artist created “The Bathers” after 1918, while spending most of his summers by the sea. The sinuous shapes in the painting seem to be present within this particular house design as well. The complex fluid spaces make for some incredible interiors which take full advantage of the sun rays and sea views. Simply breathtaking!

| Cute Spying Doorknob: Room in the Glass Globe by Hideyuki Nakayama Posted: 26 Nov 2010 04:35 AM PST Ever since glass globes were first produced, the fascination of the public for these type of decorative items was unbelievable. Every Christmas snow globes become a “hunted” gift, as they seem to brighten up the room where they are placed in. This uncommon glass globe doorknob was created by architect Hideyuki Nakayama in collaboration with Design Tide Tokyo for UNION, a producer of door handles and levers. From a distance, it looks like a colorful and inviting object, but as one approaches, a new miniature world is revealed. Magical and meticulous, the Room in a Glass Globe has the unusual ability of reflecting the room located on the other side of the door. Unfortunately, we don’t know the mechanism behind this, but we are certain we will find out more information soon. The project is said to be manufactured at a large scale and we can’t hardly wait to see it displayed in stores.- via mocoloco

| Fresh and Colourful Button up Furniture from KamKam Posted: 25 Nov 2010 02:11 PM PST The Dressed Up Furniture Series from Korean designers and creators KamKam are the cutest things ever! Fun and colourful, these pieces of furniture are a delightful combination of everyday actions: the way you dress for work or for going out will help you button up your furniture. The main theme of the furniture collection is to combine clothes and furniture. By adding colour and fun materials, the designers from KamKam created stools, storage spaces and benches. Buttons, belts and pockets were applied to each furniture item to discover a world of childish distractions from everyday problems. KamKam are always on the lookout for new ideas they can transform into practical items. They are very excited by their Dressed Up Furniture Series: “It will make you feel fresh by mixing the familiar elements of normal actions like fastening a button and daily furniture like stool, storage and bench.”

| Dwelling in Avila, the Latest of A-Cero’s Homes of Wonder Posted: 25 Nov 2010 11:08 AM PST Freshome readers, we know how enthusiastic you are whenever we post information about A-cero. For today we would like to showcase one of their latest projects, “Dwelling in Avila”, a residence with an uncommon architecture located in Spain. Here is an excerpt from the press release: “A dwelling of generous proportions developed over a single storey to facilitate the indoor-outdoor connection and to make the most of the environment in which it stands. Surrounded by meadows, tree groves, chestnut, pine and oak trees and wildlife represented by stags, wild boar and roe deer, the edifice establishes a recognized link with the traditional architecture and vernacular customs. Stone, tile, wood have been used in its construction. The sense of the architecture is to formalize the space and layout of the rooms besides representing a clear tribute to rural villages. The consequence is an open, U-shaped dwelling with a large central courtyard that shares out the uses. The principal wing houses the living rooms, dining room, TV room and children's and playrooms. In the east wing is the kitchen, laundry room and cellar and in the west wing the master bedroom.
Semi-independent pavilions house the installations, riding facilities, stables and the guardians' dwelling. Two immense awnings frame the landscape.Through an apt play of symmetries visual perspectives are created. A painstaking study of the light allows it to come in through courtyards, grooves, windows, skylights and façade openings. The courtyards help us to minimise the conditions of the extreme climate, provide colour, freshness and hold the ponds that reflect the serenity and musicality of the water. Indoors there is a consistency in its development that offers us serene, private ambiances full of nuances and subtleties. The house generates its own environment and assimilates the best of what there is. The project arises as a response to the demands of the place.”

| Piano DiningTable for Music Enthusiasts : The Concerto Table Posted: 25 Nov 2010 09:33 AM PST This next piece of furniture is a symphony in itself. Created for the music enthusiasts out there, the Concerto Table allows you to enjoy the shape of an extraordinary instrument while having dinner or working at your computer. A classic design was exactly what the creative minds from Lovegrove and Repucci thought of when making the table. Modern technology triumphed once again – the table has an iPod dock that perfectly replaces the one thing this piano table doesn`t have: music. Your dinner parties will never be the same again and your guests will be astounded by the beauty of this Concerto Table. Elegant drawers hide flatware underneath the table while a part of the surface raises to imitate a real piano. Bringing an interesting experience to say the least, the Concerto Table “seeks to transform the experience of the modern dinner party by combining the use of a dining table with the elegant curvature of a grand piano.”
