For its artistic and practical attributes, we love this architectural room divider by Sanindusa. In fact, sometimes a great room divider is all your need to add some definition, privacy and visual interest to your living spaces. This one from the Casa Ideal collection is a decorative divider made of steel, featuring circles of various sizes, stacked to form a wall. In this bathroom, it effectively separates the toilet from the rest of the space without closing it off completely, thanks to its open pattern. For its fashion and function, this cool room divider is a must-see! More information is available by visiting Sanindusa.

Award-winning firm Snøhetta has been commissioned by the Ras Al Khaimah investment Authority and RAKEEN to undertake the architectural design for the Gateway project in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. Situated in the desert 150 km to the east of Dubai this landmark project will mark the gateway to the emirate and form the entrance to the new planned capital city of Ras Al Khaimah. The urban master plan for the city is currently being under taken by the Netherlands based architectural practice OMA. The Gateway project is situated at the entrance to the city and will form a landmark for the city entrance. The architectural expression for our proposal is inspired by the surrounding desert and mountain landscape. This concept provides for an infinite variety of naturally shaded, intimate and protected spaces, around which the multiple uses associated with the development are woven. The undulating architectural landscape is resolved in a dramatic landmark tower marking the main gateway plaza. This 200 m high tower will be the setting for a 5 star plus hotel affording panoramic views across the emirate, to the gulf and mountains beyond. The programme calls for a mixed-use development comprising a conference centre, exhibition centre, hotels and retail space. In total it is expected to be 270 000m2 of build area. In addition there will be substantial areas of associated garden and landscape. Externally the building will be clad in ceramic panels, this will be developed together...

 The project of Lacaton-Vassal-Druot is a brilliant contemporary example of working within built-up heritage, solving with an exceptional industrial and even adaptable solution the problem which many European cities face.
 
While European cities present very low demographic growth today, they have extraordinarily urban and even agriculturally built environments. Adding to these circumstances circumstances certain environmental and social sustainable values, and bearing in mind the current economical situation, you can reach the conclusion that the re-use existing built patrimony – obsolete after new and continuous social, economic and technological changes – is a need. In this context, French architects Anne Lacaton & Jean Philippe Vassal have been developing an uncommon philosophy marked by their interest in preservation and social living improvement refurbishments, very far from the professional positioning of most reknown architects.

Here are renderings and construction shots of a residential project in the Pacific Palisades to be completed late Spring 2012. 
Located in the hills of Pacific Palisades, the design for this house was derived by stacking and slicing volumes, thus creating distinctions between programmatic elements and glazed openings. The design, however, was required to maintain the same footprint and height envelope of the previous building. In order to meet this constraint, the 4-bedroom house was buried partially below grade with the first and second floors appearing as separate stacked volumes. The design incorporates stone cladding on the lower floor, creating the appearance of a sturdy plinth, which supports a more delicately sculpted upper floor. Faceted white walls with slit openings help define the outer edges of the building, creating a distinctive facade.
 The striated exterior “visually reduces” the perceived height in favor of a sleeker profile that actually maintains the interior’s generous, but true, height. The entire upper floor acts like a “sleeve” holding the domestic functions that figuratively “slide” towards the most optimal views and retract for optimal privacy. The palette of exotic and sculpted wood uniquely expressed on the outside, finds its way inside forming the skin to common area walls and ceilings – all in one inter-connected whole.   Size: 5,500 sq ft
Status: To Be Completed Late Spring 2012.
