Artsy Achitecture: Hydrogenase, Algae Farm by Vincent Callebaut

The Hydrogenase Algae Farm envisioned by the creative minds at Vincent Callebaut takes the green revolution to an entirely new plane.

Mimicking nature in design, the algae farm is a completely self-contained miniature biochemical power station able to absorb CO2 and give off useable energy. Green algae and seaweeds recycle CO2 that would normally contribute to the greenhouse effect.

The purification station is, “observatory of the sea fauna and flora that fight for the protection of ecosystems and for the revitalization of the beds of corals and of endangered species. It is a true cleaner of seas and oceans by skimming and damaging as main nutrient the floating waste banks of our energy-consuming civilization.”

Up To Date Bathrooms by Meridiana

Every bit as elegant as they are an essential, these gorgeous up to date bathrooms by Meridiana boast beauty and brawn!

Stone Forest Debuts the Siena Collection

Stone Forest presents the first complete collection for the Home and Spa hand-carved from unique Siena Silver-Grey Marble. This is one of the most beautiful natural stone bathroom collections we've seen from Stone Forest and on the market in general. Contact Stone Forest for details or for the dealer nearest you. Here's from the company ...

Indulge in warmth and beauty as Stone Forest invites you to take the bath and spa ritual to the next level. Introducing Stone Forest's first full suite bath sculpture collection - Siena. Launching in summer 2010, this exclusive comprehensive suite of contemporary, sculptural forms is designed specifically for the home and spa.
The contemporary Siena Collection combines minimalist design with Italian sensibility. Hand-carved from rare blocks of Siena Silver-Grey marble, a striking unique material with subtle smoky tones and natural contrasting striations, this process (both natural and with the skillful eye of the stone-smith) allows for the inherent beauty of the stone to be expressed without embellishment.
Even more unique with Siena marble is the web-like inclusions that run contrary to the horizontal veining. Hewn and fitted with painstaking care, the collection offers elegant, simple geometric shapes with select pieces featuring alder wood inlays. This fresh set of seven designs establishes an elegant setting for your luxurious bath experience.

The Siena Collection includes:

Adagio Chaise Lounge
This organic, curvy chaise lounge is designed to support the natural contours of the reclining body. It is a sculptural wonder that is ergonomic and inviting. When used indoors, it absorbs the ambient room temperature, and when used outdoors it will absorb only enough sun to warm and cradle you in its sensuous, flowing form.

Tamburo Vessel Sink and Banco Shower Bench
This uniquely deep barrel-shaped vessel is designed to perch atop the Banco Shower Bench. A cavity carved into the back of the piece allows for a clean installation, concealing the plumbing underneath.
Three slabs of marble combine to create this sleek, virtually seamless bench. Standard sizes include lengths of 36" and 60" but it can be custom-cut up to 60" to fit space requirements and scale.

Lastra Vanity
This piece is designed as a base for a vessel sink. The design features three slabs of marble with an alder wood inlay for storage and pairs nicely with the Verona vessel.

Recesso Console
A recessed image of Stone Forest's beautiful Verona vessel, the Recesso console sink features an alder wood inlay for storage underneath.

Tazza Bathtub
This handsome, circular "teacup" shaped bathtub is not only a work of art - with a 60" diameter it offers more that enough space for comfortable, indulgent soaking.

Trucco Make-Up Table
With an open base to allow for sitting, this make-up table also features an alder wood inlay and slim profile pull-out drawer. The open surface provides space for glamour and reflection.

Extreme Designing: Blackbox Gaming Club in Timisoara, Romania

Freshome is proud to present an unusual project design meant to cheer up our readers and perhaps bring the spirit of the weekend closer. Blackbox is a gaming club located in Timisoara, Romania, in one of the city’s major commercial centers, and the city from where people behind Freshome are located . Its original design comes from Parasite Studio, a Romanian architecture firm. The biggest challenge of the location was having to deal with unwanted metal frames which the team eventually integrated in the overall design. Blackbox is a futuristic place with a highly original decor, where lighting has a major role and creates games of its own.

Here is some interesting information concerning the name of the project: “The design proposal started from generating a completely black box, as well as a shape and as a concept, an abstract space that doesn’t breathe towards the outside world but keeps locked within the memory of events. Therefore the existing windows become showcases for exhibiting and communicating towards the outside, a sort of dynamic information screens. In the first design concepts we tried to cover and hide the existing structure, then tried to ignore it but came to realize that the best solution is to integrate the structure within the general interior design and to multiply it as a deformed projected image on the perimeter walls.”- Parasite Studio

House in the Greek Countryside by Tectus Design

The guys from Tectus Design sent us another project, after we published another project from their portfolio some time ago ( Modern Apartment in Heraklion, Greece by Tectus Design Interiors ). This time they send us a two level house located somewhere in the greek countryside. At the ground floor we can see the dining room, the lounge, the kitchen as separate room and a toilet for visitors. On the second floor there are two youth bedrooms, a master bedroom with its own toilet, an office room and the main bathroom.

The place was formed after renovation by the owners and the interior designer with respect to the architecture of the building and attention to detail. As you can see from these pictures you can find many styles in this house : neoclassical, modern and art-deco. Also they mixed materials such as wood, iroko, luxurious fabrics, wallpapers, antique furniture and impressive chandeliers. As owners are art collectors, wonderful paintings of various artists adorn the walls of the house. Finally, the exterior of the house has been compiled with care, and the lighting highlights the garden planting and investment in stone.
