Switchback House In Brooklyn By L/AND/A.
The existing brownstone row house was rundown and dilapidated, and its original layout had been segmented as multiple small apartments, diminishing the original grandeur of the building. For L/AND/A, this was an opportunity to propose a way forward for typical inner city townhouses – light, open, and connected.
The Taranaki Rift In Brunswick By Architecture Architecture.
Architecture Architecture has ‘sexified’ the existing red brick suburban house with a series of neat architectural insertions – think 3D formed steel door, boxed out floating window, cunning metal plate awning over the arrival which provides shade and adds an element of surprise, etc.
Werri Beach House In NSW By Atelier Andy Carson.
For Atelier Andy Carson, the breathtaking backdrop and 180-degree panoramic views required a considered approach—framing dramatic segments of the wide, far-reaching vista in order to breath it all in.
‘Highroad’ Cafe In Canberra By Foolscap Studio.
Foolscap Studio was tasked with creating a space that Canberra’s inner-north would value as a genuinely unique hospitality experience – a place to call their own, without journeying into town.
NOUS Restaurant + Flower Shop In Guangdong, China By 0321 STUDIO.
For NOUS Restaurant + Flower Shop, 0321 STUDIO choose a single material – terrazzo – in order to maximise the interiors’ connection to the outside. By emphasizing the scale of the white aggregate, the designers have created a playful and unique visual experience.
‘La Crepa’ Food Stall In Madrid By Plutarco.
The countertop may be the most eye-catching feature of La Crepa. Made up of a rainbow of recycled plastic, it’s at once a sort of candy-coloured dream as well as being environmentally friendly.
Like Shop Showroom in Rostov-on-Don, Russia by Eduard Eremchuk.
Eduard Eremchuk has translated the Russian brand’s signature colours into various materials, textures and shapes, and applied them to sculptural objects that transform this retail interior into a boutique with museum-like qualities.
Medly Pharmacy In Brooklyn By Sergio Mannino Studio.
Retailers have begun to understand the necessity of transforming businesses into omnichannel retail platforms, where online and physical stores work as one. Pharmacies, in particular, are beginning to take advantage of this, with Medly being among the first in New York to embrace the merits of both online and physical.
House Of Tiles: Concept Space & Tile Collection By Marcante-Testa For Ceramica Vogue.

Jungla Collection By Sancal Launches At Salone Del Mobile 2018.
The concept for Jungla was inspired by nature in its wildest state, in its chiaroscuros, vibrant colours, randomness and impossible forms. Sancal reinterpreted nature with a sense of humour, a cornerstone of the Spanish brand’s approach.
Paul Matter Launches Flutter Lighting Collection.
Flutter is a swing arm wall light, inspired by the deconstruction of a clock, pared back to only the minute and hour hands. Its slender and lengthy rotating arms swivel seamlessly from a vertical wall mounted spine to throw light where it’s needed.
