Circles

rocker bed @aldeahome
Really any day bed is fabulous, but I love the simplicity of this one.


Cutest cubbie holes for kids. Or child sized adults.....


MMMMMM reading nook with a view.....



My (upside down) C Circle table. Made from 108 pieces of wood total. 
This was a monster, but I love it. 



The recycled column chair. Made from used blue print paper rolls.

And my first atempt at painting.

Namba Parks

I have been slacking...... so to make up for it, I present to you Namba Parks.

Namba Parks is an office, retail,  park and housing complex in Osaka, Japan. The ground floor is an open air promenade that connects to Japans highway system, train station, Osaka airport and has an entrance to a massive 30 story office building.


Floors 2 through 5 are retail areas with a total of 120 shops connected by sky bridges

Floor 6 houses 25+ restaurants.

Floor 7 houses an expansive series of roof top decks, parks, open spaces, and vegetable gardens.


Exterior ledges of the lower levels are also lined with vegetation.





"Canyon" cliffs in some lower areas.



Namba's "eggs" stairs to the roof top guarden.

Level 8 starts the housing section.
 

The park also has its own ferris wheel, two amphitheaters (one on the ground level and one on the 7th floor garden), and a movie theater! Oh and it has a waterfall too!

Shipping Containers

There are tons of stacked cube/rectangular housing projects around the world, but these are some of my favorite....


Stacked shipping containers in an above ground metal lattice for structural stability.
 
Section. But how do you get to the 3rd floor?


Ground floor walk through.


Steel lattice. Easy to assemble and break down!
