craigtommola: treehugger: Shipping containers are all the rage among designers and architects who have been converting them into housing, but these designs by MEKA take that concept to a whole new level. Read More. That’s quality.

A friend of mine pointed this item out to me, and I realized that my life would be incomplete without it. Getting it installed was fast and easy, even with the help of a curious cat. The effect was so perfectly Lovecraftian that I am considering getting another set for my living room picture window.

s-h-e-e-r: Cappella “Granato”, Penkenjoch, Zillertal, Austria ©fotoenricocano Architetto: Mario Botta by kyossagenzia on Flickr. Architetto: Mario BottaLa cappella deve il suo nome alla particolare pietra – il granato - che in natura ha una struttura dodecaedrica. La cappella si trova sulla sommità di un monte e si affaccia a nord sulla #Zillertal, la valle sottostante. Il fronte sud è rivolto in direzione di un laghetto artificiale che raccoglie le acque utilizzate durante l’inverno per la formazione della neve artificiale. La località offre numerosi servizi turistici per lo sci e vi si accede attraverso una cabinovia che parte da #Finkenberg, nella pianura sottostante. Il nuovo edificio, con l’immagine di un dodecaedro a forma di rombo appoggiato su uno zoccolo in calcestruzzo, presenta una struttura in legno rivestita all’esterno con lastre di acciaio “corten”. Dallo zoccolo in calcestruzzo una scala conduce all’interno, dove è possibile cogliere con un solo sguardo la regolarità dello spazio geometrico. Una sola fonte zenitale irradia dall’alto la luce che anima le superfici regolari dei rombi rivestite con listelli di legno di larice. La magia di questo spazio è continua ed ininterrotta grazie alla perfezione delle forme geometriche delle pareti che, identiche una all’altra, mostrano superfici diverse in funzione del variare dell’unica luce zenitale.

ryanpanos: The Metabolist Sky House | Kiyonori Kikutake | Socks Studio The house the Japanese architect Kiyonori Kikutake (1928-2011) designed and built for himself in 1958, still stands out as a monument to his life-long architectural beliefs. A founding member of theMetabolist movement, Kikutake laid the foundation for an architecture able to intrinsically provide its own rules for growth, and for new models of cities able to develop over new physical grounds. His own Sky-House is an elevated single volume that literally embodies both these key principles on a domestic scale. The house consists of a single 10x10m concrete slab  raised up on 4,5 m high piers located on the central axe of each side, in order to free the corners. The piers also support the concrete roof. The architect’s refusal of functionalism is materialized in an open, flexible floor plan with a central living space and service areas on the sides, which recalls traditional Japanese interiors. All around this single space runs a continuous balcony.
