Ryue Nishiziwa’s House

This project by architect Ryue Nishiziwa is a Vertical Garden House located in Tokyo.

I love the idea but I am not sure how comfortable I would be with being so "on display" for all to see. Especially in city as crowded as Tokyo. Kind of a fish-bowl effect. Also, not sure how they build things in Japan but there does not seem to be much in the way of building systems but maybe they are cleverly tucked away somehow?



Never-the-less, an interesting approach to introducing the outdoors to the modern "house". Found here at Inhabitat.

Some Ceiling Tiles

I found a source for some interesting ceiling tiles. There is quite a range of patterns available so they could be used for a few different consepts. They also offer backsplashes and mouldings. See Talissa Decor for more infos.

Italian Anyone?

Somehow the Italians come up with some of the most amazing sleek modern and functional designs. This from Dieffebe.

This is some modular shelving made of metal, straight from the website.

Above is a tradeshow display booth with an office setup. NICE!

A Tiny Apartment Transforms into 24 Rooms

This is another absolutely amazing use of a very small space. 333 square feet!!!

Pure Genius

For the New Yorker, Tokyo resident or just those a little low on square footage; these systems are amazing! Resource Furniture is simply amazing.

3Form - What Can I Say?

3Form almost needs no introduction. Their innovative products continue to evolve. They even have Ecoresin which is a 40% post consumer recycled product. The application possibilities are very impressive as you can see from the website.

once upon a rainbow there was this really BIG project to do...
