The new open plan kitchen/dining/family area to the rear is conceived as a pavilion addressing the south facing garden and is defined by four deep brick piers with a concrete cornice to provide solar shading, which in turn supports a central glazed lantern wrapped in an external timber screen. External landscaping details respond to the linear nature of the brick piers. The internal walls are also of brick, and a fifth brick pier supports the corner of the original house. The internal brickwork and new polished concrete... More

Nest Egg Hanging Swing Chair
The Nest Egg hanging chair swing seat is inspired from the organic forms in birds' nests and has a natural egg shape. The chair has been designed to be extremely comfortable and has a cozy cocoon-like feel. It will embrace your body with its nest-like form.

Hanging Gardens
London-based practice Architects of Invention (AI) led by Nikoloz Japaridze has submitted a design proposal for 500 residential units in Birmingham’s Digbeth area. The practice was approached by Chinese private equity fund PGC- Capital whose The Jewel Court, 77 one-two bed luxury apartments, is already on site in Birmingham.

The two dramatic 25-storey staggered towers, hung with gardens at every level, give all occupants and visitors access to private and shared terraces and a spacious rooftop garden.
The entire block is made of CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) a... More
