Architecture or Sudoku?Because of the value of the ground and the pressure coming from the developers to obtain the maximum potential out of each piece of land, we have been forced to think and create new architecture, where the spatiality is a consequence and not the main objective to reach, and where everything becomes a tridimensional hypertext closer to a Sudoku game defined by the proximity of the spaces, the positioning of the columns in order to make the parking lot more efficient, and...

Poland-based practice 3XA have designed a tiny apartment inside a nineteenth-century building in Wroclaw, Poland. Measuring at just 29 square meter, it is very small space to live in. The main priority of this makeover was to maximize the living space and to create an independent bedroom. Since the ceiling was very low at 3.7 meter, creating a full loft was impractical, hence the architects have created a semi-loft. The sleeping area is located above the bathroom and the hallway. To maximise the living area, the living room, the kitchen and the dining area are combined into one room. Photography: S.Zajączkowski, Via: ArchDaily

This lovely house on the Caribbean island of St. Barth make me long for summer! The house is small but cozy and has a lot of character. And look at the view from the kitchen window! I love the mix of white with splashes of (Caribbean) colors. Just perfect..

Parfois, pour résoudre un problème, la meilleure façon est de le prendre à l’envers… C’est un peu ce qu’à fait François Beautour avec sa tablette murale Clic. Sous ses apparences de bête (mais réussie) tablette murale dotée d’un miroir (c’est déjà moins bête), et d’une étagère en bois massif creusée pour servir de vide poches sans rien faire tomber (encore moins bête), elle cache une astuce vraiment pratique…
Il suffisait d’y penser : un aimant caché dans le bois permet d’utiliser sa face inférieure pour accrocher le plus simplement du monde son trousseau de clés. Plus d’amoncellement de clés familiales dans le vide poches, plus d’oubli, et une optimisation de l’espace.

Pratique et infiniment simple, il suffisait d’y penser! Evitez simplement de poser votre portefeuille dans la partie vide poche si vous avez des éléments un peu sensibles au magnétisme (tickets de métro par exemple…)
A noter : l’autoédition, ça a du bon, puisque Clic est entièrement réalisé à la main en France. Plus d’infos sur le site de François Beautour.

It’s a new house that is hidden within an old, atmospheric brick storehouse which dates back to World War II. It was originally a fuel storehouse and later functioned as a work place for the father of the present client. It will now continue to mature as a residence with the passing of time. The old brick storehouse has historical value, and furthermore it would be nearly impossible today to build using the same techniques of that time. So our thought was that we should “preserve it” so that it can continue to exist. Fortunately the client agreed with our conviction and thus the “Hiding Place” was realized.
The residence is a steel structure. The house is placed...
