Player Chair by Dublin based Tierney Haines Architects
Dublin based Tierney Haines Architects have designed the Player Chair, an armchair in solid walnut or stained oak with unpadded leather upholstery. The series includes a matching side table and a coffee table.
This is so modern and classic and timeless in the design so i would love to have this peice of furniture in my apartment, what do you guys think?

I like this staircase
Floating Staircase that fights gravity
I like staircases, no, i LOVE staircases, they are beautiful they are inspiring, they are in a sort of movement… A staircase is something that you will go up and town many times and should fit in your life and your style. Many houses just have that old boring staircase that is made out of pine and has a pine handle and pine steps. But this staircase for example is partly floating and uses the desk in the end, and lets just put it this way, I love the way the architecture incorporated the staircase into the interior design, made it one with the room instead of a single element. I wanna fight a battle for the many different staircases out there, and do me a favor if you have a nice staircase that you have seen online put it in the comments and i’ll edit this post and stick it in there and ofcourse give the credit to whom ever found it!
UPDATE: 21:54 – 3 dec
May I recommend stairporn.org – It’s like porn, but with stairs.

Thank you for that J, and I actually skimmed it earlier today, and i love it, a little weak on number of stairs in the content but SO SO good! Thank you!
Architecture Casa Binimelis
I’m in this phase where i look at like 100 different houses a day, looking for some structural inspiration. I’m not in a stage where we might be planning to build a house, but i still like to scavenge the internet for inspiration. This house did strike me as very luxurious but still a place that would feel like home.
It’s 260 sq m and has a 950 sq m garden area and located in La Reserva, Chicureo, Colina, Chile. They have planted a tree in the house atrium and also there are some parts of the house that are built into the mountain side that the house sits on.
House O by Sou Fujimoto Architects
A weekend house for a couple located on a rocky coast two hours drive from Tokyo. They are planning to settle down this place in the future. The site is a rocky stretch facing the Pacific Ocean with approaches sloping down to the water level. The characteristic of its plan, imagined like the branches of a tree, is a continuous one room. All the required spaces, entrance, living area, dining area, kitchen, bed room, Japanese style room, study room and bath room are arranged in this continuous one room.
So in the celebration of our 1th year this would be a future office building for us. Where we could enchant our creativity and grow, thats a nice vision. Then again vision are goals that you can never really reach but you will not stop aiming for it.
Not quite as mystic and hugh as Iron Mans little rocky retreat but i find it cosy, a house with a feeling. When you park that beautiful hybrid car of yours next to the house, this is what it looks like.
The house is a 1 stories and approximately 130 sq m, the garden are is an additional 550 sq m.
Design of the day / Heater like you never seen it before
Here is a Heater that does not look like your regular metal heater that lives in that apartment of yours. This is a long metal tube, witch you can just have laying around on the floor or use it to heat up your bed. The idea here is to make your regular heating system more usable than just heating that air in your apartment or house, you can dry your shoes, clothes, or heat things that regular don’t get the heat from the heaters that are spread out in your home.

Todays Architecture / Villa 1
Set in the woodlands of Holland, the program of Villa 1 is oriented optimal towards the views on the terrain and the sun. Half of the program is pushed below ground to meet local zoning regulations.
This creates a clear dichotomy in the spatial experience of the house – a glass box ground floor where all mass is concentrated in furniture elements and a ‘medieval’ basement, where the spaces are carved out of the mass.
And then we have the ultra hype modern car park, you drive under the house and an electronic door detects your car via RFID and opens. Then there is a turning plate in the garage that can spin your car so you don’t have to reverse to get out.
If you like your share of books and music why not spend your afternoon in the relaxing woodland surrounded library with a grand piano.
So to end this little covering of a house that i like and another day in the life of We Are Super Famous, head over to powerhouse company and check out the floor plans and other goodies.
Dupli Casa Todays Piece of Architecture
No we have winter time in Sweden ( or daylight saving time ) we turned our clocks backwards yesterday so we gained an hour. So with that extra hour i hunted down some nice architecture. Mondays are one of those days that i actually like.
La Villa Dupli Casa was designed and built back in 2005 with a strong team of Jürgen Mayer, Georg Schmidthals, Thorsten Blatter, Simon Takasaki. I like the futuristic part in this house, normally I’m not so found of biological smooth lines, but more and more of that is lurking it’s way into the parts of my brain that communicates what i like or don’t like.
And as you can see on the photo above, this building and the Charles Eames Lounge Chair has something in common… The timeless design or just that fact that it speaks to you in an unconventional way. They go good hand in hand though and i like em both.
Then you have the big gorgeous swimming pool on the entrance floor, I believe that the pool are is larger than our current apartment by 5 times.
UPDATE:
I’ve now learned that the house itself was first built back in 1984 and then re-architectured a couple of times before landing in the current state.
Wednesday Architecture – Takao Shiotsuka
Sorry it’s been awhile, i’ve been very busy and i think christian has been that way to. We will try our best to keep them good news coming but somedays we just need a break. It’s a very nice autumn weather in Falkenberg today, still a bit to windy for my taste so i dream away to this amazing house in Japan made by Takao Shiotsuka Atelier a real concrete wet dream. So have a look over at his site, there are a bunch of photos and information about the house.
