Decorating Butterflies Made From Beer Cans

Category: Ideas

From artist Paul Villinski comes this mind blowing interior butterfly pattern that challenges the idea of conventional designs. Made from beer cans gathered off the streets of New York City, Paul patiently crafted these butterflies one by one and hand made stunning wall designs. We are not aware of how the process goes exactly, but we really like the end result. Aesthetic and functional, these amazing arrays of butterflies could go well with the already existing wallpapers or paintings or even replace them if needed. Just imagine what you could do with such a design in the kids’ room. We enjoy the way they look in the pictures and we assume that they are connected in a way that is transparent.

Kowalewski Residence, A Rigid Place to Live In Or A Cool Modern House?

Category: Architecture

Tags: house architecture, modern house design

Located in Atlantic Beach, New York, this impressive display of architecture comes from Belmont Freeman Architects and is a symbol of modern design. In a community of 1920's and 30's homes, this project comes to break the pattern and impose contemporaneity. We are not fond of this idea, however the building team considers that the the Kowalewski residence remains “respectful of the scale and architectural traditions of the community”. Overall, we think the house has some pretty cool architecture features, such as the irregular shape or the vertical window section which brakes monotony and seems to split the building in two unequal parts. The round window is also of great aesthetic effect. Still, in our opinion, homes should lose the rigid feel and stick to a design that inspires a homey atmosphere.

T2 - Concrete Leaning Shops in Tokyo

Category: Architecture

Tags: building architecture, japanesse architecture

From General Design, T2 is an original architecture project located in Tokyo, Japan. The two leaning structures are made of concrete and serve as guidelines, directing the costumers towards the ground floor. A stairway leads them to the rest of the retail store. Here is some information from the architects about the idea behind this project :The shape of the building is a result of aiming at a strong volume with a sense of existence while applying to the architecture regulatory control.” The leaning shops are definitely the kind of construction that makes you want to stop while in a hurry and take a closer look. We hope this is also the case with the population of Tokyo, the proud owners of this design.
