by Mocanu Andreea, posted in Office, on August 29th, 2011

LYCS Architecture have created their own piece of heaven in Hangzhou, China. The office is a renovation of a tower penthouse with gorgeous views of the West Lake World Heritage.

What was once a non-professional add-om storage room is now a great, inspiring office. Everything was thought to combine the two spaces and make them one through the material homogeneity and heterogeneity and temporal attenuation of space. The architects kept some of the original elements of the space in order to celebrate the authentic architecture language.

Bedford Smart Technology™ Large Recharge Station

by Loredana Sava, posted in Office, on August 27th, 2011

Technology is very useful and it does make our lives a lot easier. However, it comes with a cost, I mean nothing is perfect and you must also accept the less pleasant things about it. In this case you have a lot of gadgets that work on electricity or that must be recharged to a plug. So when you come home in the evening together with all the family members, you will have a lot of cords and charging stations spread all over the desk. You don’t even need to have a large family: if you have a smart phone, a tablet, a laptop and you also want to charge the batteries for your camera then you will see plenty of cords and wires all over the place. And this does not look very well, believe me.

In this case you might want to use this beautiful Bedford Smart Technology™ Large Recharge Station that is made of wood and is both very useful and good-looking. It comes in white, black or brown and it looks classy and stylish even if you use it for recharging up to six technological appliances at a time. You can’t see the cords thanks to the four holes that allow them to go at the back where they plug in. You can use different adapters depending on your needs. The station also has a nice drawer where you can store different things. And all this for this week’s special price of $64 at Pottery Barn.

McCann-Erickson Riga and Inspired Office in Riga, Latvia

by Simona Ganea, posted in Office, on August 26th, 2011

Designed for SIA McCann Erickson-Riga and Inspired in 2010, this 1020 sqm project is located in Riga, Latvia. The architects working at the project are Open AD, Sane Tetere and Elina Tetere. It was a low budget project so the materials used are simple and some items were made using recycled materials. For example, the fourth floor features some left over timber products and items made from recycled household or office appliances. The lamps were made using high diameter pasterboard tubes.

McCann-Erikson Riga and Inspired Office are actually two separate offices located in the same building but on different floors. However, both offices were designed using the same simple materials like boards, lacquered MDF, white wall painting for the fourth floor and grey lacquered plastura for the third floor walls. The two offices are connected by stairs and they are not completely separated from each other.

Loft architecture office in Timişoara, Romania

by Simona Ganea, posted in Office, on August 24th, 2011

The Andreescu & Gaivoronschi architecture office is located in the historic center of Timişoara, Romania. The company is known for designing the most important business park outside of Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, the City Business Center complex. The company’s headquarter is actually composed of two apartments that have been unified and a part of the mansard or loft has also been occupied. The 11 architects working there wanted their own headquarter as opposed to a rented space because it provides more stability and a personalized image.

It took them 6 month to renovate the place and the total cost was 142.000 euros. They’ve moved there in 2004 when they had the opportunity to buy an apartment in the center of the city and, more important, in the middle of the historic center, the Sfantul Gheorghe place that has an important signification from this point of view.
