Once upon a dream
Designer: Mathieu Lehanneur
Location: Rheims, France

After the quality of domestic air with 'Andrea', Mathieu Lehanneur has turned his attention to the quality of sleep. Designed for the Hôtel de Marc at Rheims, where guests of the Veuve Cliquot champagne house often suffering from jet lag stay, 'Once upon a dream' is the ideal room for swift rest-&-resynchronization - sweet deams guaranteed. Between the Sand Man and home cinema, this unit for slumber was designed using tried and tested data gathered in physiological studies for treating people who suffer from chronic insomnia.

Vila Hermina
Designer: Hsh Architekti
Location: Černín, Czech Republic

The building is situated on a sloping terrain on the outskirts of Černín, taking the same slope into its internals for floors. The interior layout is based on alternating straight and sloping floor surfaces that create the overall spiralling character of the interior and define the building’s external appearance. However, the use of the sloping floor on the ground floor is not purposeless – it is there on investor´s reguest to accomodate movie projections as a small movie theatre. Windows and other openings are placed with respect of the external façade – each of the walls only has one opening. For thermal and water insulation a polyurethane spray with pink coat is used, meant as a credit to our favourite building of Versuchsanstalt fur Wasserbau und Schiffbau by Ludwig Leo.
