The Morumbi Residence by Drucker Arquitetura

Drucker Arquitetura have designed the Morumbi Residence in São Paulo, Brazil.





Installed on top of the hill Morumbi among the many remaining trees of the court of the Foundation Maria Luiza and Oscar Americano, the house spreads like a bar code for the city’s landscape. The house is a research idea of balcony space as fluid and its abstract expression as a mechanism to filter and shade.The house invites contemplation of the landscape, with balconies, large windows, frameworks that cut the sight of the Marginal Pinheiros avenue and Octavio Frias Bridge, but without compromising the cozy ambiance, while the domestic scale is relatively high (the house has 1.000m ²). The pattern of circulation forces the occupants to come out to wooden decks. The large glass frames emphasize the continuity between the interior and exterior.

Daisy Balloon Workshop At Sunday Issue Lounge

Sunday Issue, an art lounge, is now holding what has to be described as an “only in Tokyo event,” a balloon workshop conducted by Hosokai aka Daisy Balloon. Her work is new to me but from my quick search, she has been highlighted quite a bit on various art and fashion websites over the past few years. Apparently she wins every balloon contest in all the land. I’m not sure what the competition is but cheez, it’s easy to see how she pops all their bubbles (haha), oh wait…or maybe floats high above the competition.

Yves Saint Laurent Sheepskin Collar Jacket

We feel like idiots for even saying this, but the whole classic fighter pilot look is very hawt this season. Take this YSL Sheepskin collar jacket for instance, Without the sheepskin collar (which is detachable) it’s a pretty ordinary bomber, the collar helps it stand apart. And when something costs £1,195, standing apart is the least it can do.

In Depth Look At The Zenvo ST1

The ST1 is powered by a turbocharged and supercharged (yes you can do both, crazy Danes) 7.0-liter V8 that delivers 1,104 hp and 1055 lbs ft. of torque. It’s not yet clear who sourced the engine or if this an original build, but regardless of origin, Zenvo believes its blown engine will propel the car from 0 to 60 mph in about three seconds and a top out at 233 mph.

The first consumer-ready car could be available as soon as 2009, with production totaling about 15 cars. No word yet on pricing, but be prepared to call the banker before purchasing. Now all we have to do is keep the world economy together long enough for us to get our hands on one.

Houseboat on the Eilbekkanal by Rost Niderehe Architects

Rost Niderehe Architects have designed a houseboat on the Eilbekkanal in Hamburg, Germany.






he formal architectural language should be clear and simple. This is reflected both in the floor plans as well as in creation of the individual rooms. Using a single wall that wraps like a spiral from the outside to the inside, the rooms are developed from public use on the outside (kitchen, dining room) to private use on the inside (bedroom, bathroom).
The spaces for public use are located on the upper deck, this being the entrance level; spaces for private use (work, living- and bedrooms) are located on the lower deck.The chosen materials (mainly steel and wood) are influenced by both areas of provenance of the design – naval architecture as well as normal building construction.
