SIMLE LIVING BY SUB ESTUDIO

Fidalga 727 :: Sub Estudio

Here's to a little mid-week dreaming brought to you by Brazilian based firm, Sub Estudio.  The design for Fidalga 727 reminds us of that no-frills design can still be elegant, innovative, and intriguing while leaving room for the important stuff-- the living part.  Sub Estudio's excellent space planning and utilization of sliding panels and pivoting elements such as the television in the center of the living space allow this loft to transform from an intimate living space to hub for entertaining...as well as an office with a peeping tom's view of the party below.  Enjoy some simplicity today!

These panels can be progressively opened to allow for a greater level of privacy control!

Seriously in love with the materiality of these panels.

SIMPLICITY BY FEILDON FOWLES

Ty Pren Eco-House :: Feildon Fowles

Snuggled amidst the hills of South Wales, this statement in domestic sustainability by Feildon Fowles utilizes recycled Welsch cladding, a south facade orientation to maximize lighting conditions and takes into account an estimated carbon emission that is compensated by the number of trees replanted in the nearby surroundings.  The interior, according to the architects, is set on a logical plan with a slightly off centered spine to maximizes the living space, allowing the south facade to remain unobstructed and available for the large expanses of glazing responsible for the home's natural light.  The material choice has almost  a Nordic quality, but is even more sparse, lacking the fur throws and bright pops of color, giving the Ty Pren Eco-House a no-frills sense of luxury.
