KRE House designed by Takuya Tsuchida is located in the posh Shirokane area of Tokyo. In case you wonder who owns so many cars in the middle of Tokyo: the client of this 9 car garage house, who is in his 40s, runs a clothing and restaurant business. Cheers to the Lamborghini Countach Anniversary edition

NYSID for DIFFA
Designer: Yiannos Vrousgos, Brooke Lichtenstein, Isis Delomez and Whitney Vlasaty
Location: New York City
Image Credits: Yiannos Vrousgos
Developed for DIFFA Dining by Design 2010, the “cradle to cradle” concept focuses on sustainability and modern aesthetics by redefining the conventional box of a typical booth through an explosion of salvaged materials. In light of ecological problems facing modern society, the materials include recycled lumber, low VOC paint, bamboo flatware, natural canvas and biodegradable sugarcane tableware. An illuminated origami flower centerpiece enhances the natural handcrafted design, symbolizing organic architecture. Together, these elements promote the concept to “leave and imprint and reduce the footprint.”

Indemann
Designer: Maurer United Architects
Location: Inden, Germany

“We started the Indemann project by writing a fairy tale that established the region’s profile. In the fairy tale the people finally built a monument for a giant, the Indemann, who they have helped physically, but mainly strategically, in the story. The fact that this watchtower has now been completed shows that fairy tales can become reality.”

KEG Apartment
Designer: Aristide Antonas
Location: n/a
The series of my 'real fake' works and my 'stable vehicle' works are proposing such inhabitations. In the 'stable vehicle' series I use existing transportation wagons of different types in order to think about this particular garbage as a system of 'abandoned spaces'. They form rooms that can still move or can function again as movable. They can be used as holiday rooms or as small office places, if we think of them as places equipped with network collections.
