Builiding renovation by architect Edouard François for the Hotel Fouquet Barriére in Paris. Keeps the elegance and sophistication of an old building but has a modern and minimal spin. His portfolio contains more interesting work, and very unique website as well.
Melbourne Theater Company in Australia, by architect Ashton Raggat Mcdougall. Impressive building, featured in the current issue of Artichoke Magazine. More of his work found here. A asymmetrical design that is well balanced throughout. I thought i would share this images and find it a little inspiring.
Today, I bought Artichoke Magazine, and found images of this amazing place in Australia. It is mainly composed with "the discard of human activity", it is an ongoing exhibition/restaurant that opened in October of 2008 and will continue until this summer. Visit joost.com.au and greenhousebyjoost.com. Pictures borrowed from The Design Files.
This is a new building for Mercabarma Flor in Barcelona, Spain by Willy Muller Architects. It is the equivalent to the famous Costco wholesale stores in the United States. It's amazing how an empty big space have such great design and can be colorful. Would love to see this kinds of concepts make their way into America, it will definitely boost hurting businesses. The design aspect really means alot for a business and is what prospective clients will base their decisions. Aesthetics, plays a major role in our life, and that is why designers are here for!
