Article source: studio_GAON Around 600 B.C., King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon made a garden for his wife Amitis of Media Kingdom in the midst of desert, noticing she got homesick longing for her country’s forest. It is said that the garden was a “hanging garden,” that was built not on the ground but on a structure like terraced balconies. The garden was designed so well it felt like walking on regular ground. It is also said that water was drown from the far Euphrates River through water pipes, to continuously feed the plants in its garden. Probably all the advanced techniques of the time were used. Power of love created a garden hanging over the sky in the middle of the desert. It is regrettable that nothing remains, but still it is such a romantic story. This story became starting point.

Article source: Silvio Girolamo Studio Res Company is a showroom located in the commercial area of Baricentro (Bari). The interior design prioritises the simplicity, function and the experience. At the entrance there is an interior garden in which we find the living area with suede armchairs and sofa and an original kilim rug. The industrial look of the space is softened by a light pink floor which invests all the four sales areas like a carpet. Pink and white light up the space and cheer up the soul. The hangers are conceived as modular iron elements that allow the reformulation of the space according to the needs. The tables are made by local craftsmens. The glass table has a rationalist design, the wooden one has a traditional design. Black bookcases and a red-orange piece are used to show the accessories of the collections. Very funny are also the irregular shaped mirrors, the podium and the corrugated shield.  Image Courtesy © Simone Boccuzzi

Article source: ENOTA Skorba is a small village in the vicinity of Ptuj, Slovenia’s oldest town. Once a typical village with a clustered settlement pattern, the passage of years and the proximity of the city caused it to grow out of turn, transforming it into a commuter suburb without a clear structure. The organic growth resulted in a markedly heterogeneous development organised along the access roads, with no public surface layout and without a clearly legible village centre.

Article source: v2com The project explores a novel and captivating tower typology which emerged in New York in the last years — “The New York’s Super Slender”. Located on a small, currently vacant site on West 45th St which footprint measures at approx. 30x30m only, the tower rises to 400 m in height, and provides modern, ergonomic, sustainable office spaces for multi-floor corporate tenants. The project is another take on a path which skyscraper design will likely be following in the coming years, to meet extreme challenges of constrained and dense city centers, with their shortage of big vacant lots, yet ever-growing demand for new properties.

Article source: v2com The future owners were captivated by this completely glazed, brightly lit space, with Mount Royal as its backdrop, its immense terrace stretching from east to west and a wealth of services close at hand. Located in a 40-floor tower that had been completed just months before, the apartment was still a concrete shell. But it was long and narrow, a layout that did not suit the clients’ needs, so they turned to the Desjardins Bherer team for assistance. The firm reimagined the configuration and layout in order to integrate three bedrooms and a study.  Belvedere – living room, Image Courtesy © Adrien Williams
