Residential Architecture: Haus W by Kraus Schönberg Architects: “..an affordable prefabricated project, the house is composed of two parts – an upper and lower level – that seeks to connect the interior space together while engaging with the surrounding lush site through a transparent gap that wraps around the residence at ground level..” Simple, though “hovering”, exterior; creative interior.

Installation by Aakash Nihalani, in a stairwell and hall decorated by Wayne Nathan
Penelope Green has written a short, rather interesting article entitled “Kips Bay Decorated, and Curated” in the Home & Garden section of The New York Times, looking at the The Kips Bay Decorator Show House (through 26 May 2011, Admission, $30, to benefit the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. (718) 893-8600, extension 245, or kipsbay.org) and the integration of art, often contemporary art, including installations, video and sculpture, as well as paintings, prints, and drawings, into the ensemble of furniture, lighting, wall and floor coverings, and other decorative elements, which has been, in a strict sense, the historical domaine of interior decorators, and designers. The eclectic mix can be quite refreshing, indeed.
The article includes an interesting tour of the house, in the slideshow, here.

The Moet-Hennessy-PAD London prize-winning ’Fragile Future Concrete’ chandelier by Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta of Drift, for Carpenter’s Workshop Gallery
image: Wallpaper* Magazine
Malaika Byng has written a nice little article entitled “Pavilion of Art & Design London 2010” for the marvelous Wallpaper* Magazine, looking at the ” rich and enjoyable exhibition” of design and art featured at this year’s PAD. With works dating from 1860 to 2010, there’s no “flood of new products” nor the frenzy of Frieze, but rather a richly satisfying diversity of styles, materials and creative ideas. Though the prices may be beyond most of our budgets, the beauty of the pieces exhibited is well within our reach.
Very nice slideshow, here.
And a fascinating video of Random International’s sound-reactive ‘Swarm’ light for Carpenter’s Workshop Gallery, here.
