circular

It's the little things that draws you to something, sometimes. I can't say I'm a huge fan of this overall building (The Ivy Hotel, Shanghai), but I love the gigantic circular doorways and the fragmented circular windows. Very nice.

one more for the road...

Here's an interesting idea for a bit of interactive wall decor... Personally, I find I am most likely to use a diary when it's on the wall in front of me - this could be a really cool way to organise yourself!

hello!

I have been enjoying reading design, inspiration and architecture blogs for a while now, and I am finding it hard to keep track of all the wonderful stuff that there is out there!

Therefore, I figured I could start my own with my favourite picks from the blogosphere (and maybe elsewhere, who knows?)

So, I will leave you today with a picture or two of the Otter Cove Residence in Carmel, California, designed by Sagan Piechota Architecture. Amazing location and just beautiful use of materials throughout the house.
