This office building has the most beautiful basement I’ve ever seen. The raw concrete walls combined with the ceiling lights … awesome. Calling it an office building might be an exaggeration actually, it is quite small, it’s footprint measures only 10 by 3,6 meters. Elisa Valero Ramos designed this very nice space in Granada, Spain.
I don’t know what to say about the house called “Lucky Drops”. It was designed by Atelier Tekuto and its name is the equivalent to Japanese old saying ‘the best for last’. You can find more photos and information at ArchDaily.
I guess everyone knows by now that I’m a huge fan of Japanese architecture. So here’s the next one: House M by Jun Igarashi Architects. It does look more to a livable sculpture to me than a real house. Can someone explain to me why it doesn’t have any windows and just ceiling lights? The neighborhood isn’t really nice in this case, but doesn’t they want to look outside?

Visible Structures is a series of 12 pieces of furniture designed by Nendo. They are made from foam core that is reinforced with industrial strength carbon tape. Those strips of tape are the visible structure but also a graphical element. I’m really tempted to try this out myself.
The Pelo House is the latest project by mA-style, a Japanese design and architecture firm. “Pelo” is a mimetic word for peeling something and I guess you can totally tell in all the details of this house.
Thru Religion is a 3D printed object created by Drzach & Suchy. The object has multiple shadow-casting elements, semi-randomly arranged in three dimensions. When you rotate the object to the right position in front of a light source, you can see 3 different religious symbols. You should also check out these 2 videos of their Shadow Casting Panels.
