Pool House.

         

This 1200 square feet structure was designed as a minimalist sculpture in the landscape. It is part of a 3.5 acre property in Connecticut. The architecture of this pool house is in contrast to the traditional architecture of the existing house yet the design sets up a dialogue between the two. The architecture of the pool house hovers over a 48′x20′ pool like a vessel in the water. On the North there is a spa and an outdoor/ indoor shower, and on the south there is a roofed veranda acting as an indoor/ outdoor dinning area with a large opening on the wall framing the landscape beyond. The area around the pool becomes a sunken courtyard paved in travertine with steps and walls of stone. The interior of this pool house contains a living/ entertainment room, kitchen and bar area, simple bathroom and variety of terraces and decks. It is enclosed by series of metal and glass sliding panels that would allow the structure to be transparent and open up towards outside.

Designed by Hariri & Hariri Architecture.

Clam. Two Lens Camera.

Ever wondered what your expression was while taking that image? What is there was a lens on both sides of the camera?

When you press that shutter button, two pictures are taken at once. The exterior LCD shows what you photographed. Open the CLAM and a smaller interior LCD shows what you, the shutter bug looked like.

Designer: Gowoon Jeong

Climbing UP Suitcase

Climbing UP Suitcase makes life easier with its streamlined handle-frame structure and rubber belt tracks, which cover the entire body of the suitcase.

It is generally difficult to pull a suitcase up stairs or across uneven surfaces as existing suitcase castors are meant for wheeling on flat ground. Suitcases need to be lifted over bumps and changes in level.

Public Workspace

Design Challenge: Develop a self-contained workstation designed for use in airports, train stations, and anywhere else business travelers could take advantage of a comfortable, temporary work environment.

Solution: Public Workspace is an innovative semi-private workspace that emphasizes ergonomic comfort as well as convenience. Its sturdy and elegant curved wall envelopes users in a shield of eco-resin and aluminum to reduce outside noise and provide privacy while physically supporting the rest of its components. Inside the pod, users can recline in complete ergonomic comfort. Public Workspace's built-in seating incorporates Humanscale's patented self-adjusting recline mechanism as well as an intuitively adjustable headrest, backrest, and seat to comfortably accommodate users of virtually any stature.

Public Workspace's pivoting, height-adjustable tray allows users to work on a laptop computer in the most comfortable position possible. The tray features built-in Internet access and power outlets, a recessed storage nook for cords and power supplies, a gel palm rest, and an adjustable mousing platform that slides from one side of the tray to the other to accommodate left- or right-handed users.

Additional features include a built-in adjustable task light to illuminate reading materials, and convenient luggage storage space beneath the seat.

Designed with sustainability in mind, Public Workspace is 98% recyclable with components constructed of aluminum, eco-resin, polypropylene and ABS. To encourage recycling, the work pod is also designed for quick and easy disassembly.

Feature - Febot , Charge Batteries w/ Wind Power.

     
Rechargeable batteries sure have helped make my life a lot easier, but I sure do hate the bulkiness of the machines that allow me to recharge my batteries. Trying to pack up my gadgets to take with me on the go is a struggle enough, why add the extra bulk of a battery charger to the equation? Here I introduce to you Febot- The answer to all of your gadget packing needs. This little Febot is so easy to assemble; even a monkey could put it together. Febot, created by Korean designers Ji-yun Kim, Soon-young Yang and Hwan-ju Jeon, is a torpedo with wings looking object that uses energy created by the wind to recharge a single battery. All you have to do is stick your Febot on an outside window and let the wind work its magic – just make sure it is your Febot.

Designer: Ji-yun Kim, Soon-young Yang & Hwan-ju Jeon

Strange Gel Remote Concept by Panasonic

Constructed of a soft, flesh-like gel, the remote appears cold when off. Once turned on, however, it seems to come to life. A soft light emanates somewhere from within as the center of the device begins to slowly rise and fall, mimicking the tranquil motions of breath. Left undisturbed, the remote will slumber peacefully. But should a human hand approach, sensors inside alert it to the imminent touch. It stops breathing, grows rigid – the light from within is extinguished.
