Bali-based architectural studio Patisandhika and designer Dan Mitchell have developed A Brutalist Tropical Home in Bali, characterized by a double-height living room with floor-to-ceiling glazing that allows lots of natural light and provides dramatic views to the lush tropical landscape. To shade the living quarters from the direct sunlight and prevent overheating, the house has exaggerated overhanging structural slabs that extend horizontally from its exterior. The architects have installed a rainwater harvesting system and solar panels on the roof to improve the house’s sustainable performance. Aiming to soften the unwelcoming texture of concrete, numerous plants, including a tree embedded into the floor of the living room, are added in the hope that they will eventually overgrow the house.

When most people think of recycled fabrics, they think of stiff unglamorous materials. However, this is changed now thanks to Parley for the Oceans, an environmental organization that collects plastic debris from shores and oceans. The plastic is then shredded and reworked into yarn, with the quality of the recycled fabrics so high that it is usable for even high-end couture looks. The trademarked Ocean Plastic fabric has been recently used for the Holobiont dress by Iris van Herpen, which forms part of the fashion designer’s Roots of Rebirth Spring/Summer 2021 collection. Van Herpen printed the fabric before laser-cutting it parametrically into fine triangle pieces, in order to create a translucent and fragile tessellated garment.

Canadian studio MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architecture has designed Smith House, a Corten-clad residence located on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. The dwelling, together with other houses designed by the architect, forms a cluster of simple gable-roofed buildings of pre-weathered steel on the site of an old fishing village. Smith House consists of three pitched-roofed pavilions perched on a stone plinth, constructed of local granite sourced from a nearby quarry. While the traditional shapes of the houses echo local vernacular buildings, they are made modern through their cladding and minimalist detailing.

Developing a design project for the lounge of the Bayerischer Hof hotel in Munich, Germany, Paris studio Jouin Manku has created an elliptical fireplace, which together with the use of natural hues and textures, helps recreate a natural landscape and fantasy all at once. The sculptural piece is surrounded by curving benches made from wood and leather and topped by a funnel-shaped chimney that drops down from the ceiling of the hotel’s sixth floor. Encircling the chimney, there are porcelain ribs creating constantly shifting reflections. The feature is echoed by the surface of the adjacent curving bar.

Developed by London-based industrial designer Solveiga Pakštaitė with an ambition to reduce food waste, Bump Mark is a patent-pending smart expiry label that tells the consumer when the food is spoiled. While printed ‘best before’ expiry dates are nothing but estimates of what the worst case temperature scenario will be for the product, the gelatin-based Bump Mark is a food freshness checker that reacts to the environment around it and updates itself. Responding to temperature changes, the gel filling goes from smooth to bumpy at the same pace as the food inside spoils. The label is checked by touch: smooth indicates that the food is fresh, but as soon as the label feels bumpy, the food is expired. According to the designer, the product’s mission is to radically reduce unnecessary food waste by becoming the new standard for freshness information for industry, consumers and communities all around the world.

Faro by designers Rui Pereira and Ryosuke Fukusada is a mini fireplace created with an intention to use fire to bring people together. The designers hope the users will come up with numerous diverse ways of using the fire source depending on the various designs of the pieces it is composed of – red clay pottery, hammered copper and aluminium that have been produced utilizing different craft techniques in Portugal, Japan and Italy. The use of natural materials aims to evoke reference to the traditional wood-stove oven.

Peter Pichler Architecture, an award winning architecture practice based in Milan, has designed a sheltered mountain hut containing a restaurant in a ski resort on 2.000m in the heart of the Dolomites. The cantilevering sculptural structure grows out of the hill like a fallen tree with three main branches, each ending with a large glass façade framing a view of the three most important surrounding mountains. The gabled shape of the glazing is inspired by the traditional mountain cabins in the area, while the branching roof and complex structural interior express a new and contemporary interpretation of the classic mountain hut. The interior is made entirely of locally sourced wood and defined by a complex, curvilinear structure that gradually fades into walls and creates the so-called “pockets” that create a certain intimacy.

The guiding design principle behind Glass Villa in the Lake, a three-storey house built by Dutch studio Mecanoo in the UK, is to create a house that combines transparency with sustainability, establishing a strong relationship between the dwelling and the landscape. The team has designed the house inside out, creating uninterrupted views to the surrounding nature while providing shelter and intimacy for the residents.
To ensure there is a view of the nature from every corner of the house, the interior is largely open-plan with useful features, such as a fireplace or storage cabinets doubling as partitions where needed. The house has a roof terrace where one can enjoy panoramic views of the lake and a basement floor submerged beneath the water’s surface, which contains a jacuzzi, a games room and a home cinema.

Berlin-based Studio Aisslinger has designed an adaptable workplace for the European headquarters of the accessories brand LOQI to support creativity and collaboration, while creating a safe and supportive environment for staff in response of the coronavirus pandemic. The 1000 sqm hall with open ceiling structure has been converted into a complex, constantly changing conglomerate of flexible co-working areas, break-off units, as well as “work capsules” that shield all noise from outside. With felt-covered exteriors and a bubble window, these pods provide occupants with privacy and separation, without being completely cut off from the more public activities going on around them.
Other types of workspace include large desks with integrated lighting fixtures, a pink tiled bar, standing desks, bleacher-style seating areas and sofa booths. Striking fabric curtains and transparent folding screens, as well as colour coding, are used creatively to demarcate different working areas within the large open-space.

Haven, the foldable tandem kayak by Californian company Oru Kayak, is made of 5mm polypropylene and features a translucent lightweight shell that folds down to the size of a large suitcase based on the Japanese paper folding technique of origami. Across the hull there are orange custom-extruded plastic boards that, when folded down, serve as a double-layered protective skin for the pack. It only takes 10 minutes to convert the box into a full-size vessel. When folded into a box that weighs 18 kilograms, the kayak can be carried by one person, stashed in a car’s trunk or checked in on a plane.
