" AND ABOVE ALL WATCH WITH GLITTERING EYES THE WHOLE WORLD AROUND YOU BECAUSE THE GREATEST SECRETS ARE HIDDEN IN THE MOST UNLIKELY PLACES. THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN MAGIC, WILL NEVER FIND IT.

LIGHT ME INSIDE
Lot 176 is a residence with a carved out two story volume in the centre to allow light and ventilation to all interior spaces. The carved interior provides an internal focus visually and functionally. It is largely opened on the short access to allow views out of site with the living level utilising sliding screens to opening the interior completely to the exterior.
In this house, light and the immediate landscape transform into invite guests with the use of wood panels, as they enter through. The inside and outside are united by seamless transitions and the consistent use of a restrained palette of materials: timber, zinc and self-finished oxide renders.

DISCO, DISCO, DISCO
Light has become an increasing source of inspiration for artists, designers and product developers, who are harnessing cutting-edge scientific and technological developments to produce amazing results. Like this chair, strung with 200 meters of electroluminescent wire to shine, when powered, in a rainbow of color. It can also be switched to a flash/pulse mode for a disco-style lighting effect. Makes me feel like dancing disco around it welcoming you to the future..

LOOK THROUGH
Here'a a building where spatial and functional qualities result in a light, sustainable and dynamic whole, creating a "gate" effect, where you look through the building rather than at it. From the ground floor, in this Centre for Life Sciences, arises a zoology wing connected with the animal housing; the south wing is dedicated to botany.
Light from above through the open ares and views of the sky connect the interiors with the outside world.I would look if i saw something like this, wouldn't you?

SHOW IT OFF !!
Here's a sculptural gallery located on the Dong Jiang Bay Coastline with three main spaces that coexist into a coastal showcase: a tourist information center, a show gallery & a discussion lounge.
Tectonically this "artsy" building (at least for me, it is) not only beautiful, but responds to its setting with weather-sensitive corten steel panels on the outside and timber strips on the inside to create a more natural feel.

Art Basel Miami Beach. This is probably my favorite week of the year; a week where art meets time and space in Miami. Here I showed some pictures of what i saw, but there was so much more. Some eye candy for you to visit next year. Hope you enjoyed them.
LONG LIVE ART . ART . ART
PALLETS
Think about this: a flexible low cost building which is made of 800 euro-paletts. Pallets are used for standardized means of transportation; you can buy them all over the world. Using this material as tectonics for a structure,
simply genius !!

STACK IT UP, UP, UP !
A clear solution: stacked villas.
This building combines the advantages of privacy, outdoor gardens and the boundless views that a single residential home offers with the low economic and maintenance costs of an apartment.
