Anthony Hill

Take a look at Anthony Hill’s photographic ‘take’ on the new Galleri Örsta building, designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune. The gallery opened 2nd October 2010 and is situated in Kumla, Sweden. Anthony tells us, “My aim was to create a story capturing the soul of the building rather than a factual recording, as is usual in photographic architectural assignments.”

i29

Some top drawer work from i29, interior architects from Amsterdam. This single-family apartment for four people is situated in a stately building in southern Amsterdam, NL. The original structure, with rooms for staff, a double hall and long hallways with lots of doors has been transformed into a spacious, transparent dwelling full of light and air.

Infinity Bridge

Surely something as nice as the recently illuminated Infinity Bridge can’t be in Stockton-on-Tees? Designed by Expedition Engineering, the slender bowstring bridge cuts a distinctive silhouette across the River Tees. A 230m-long concrete walkway is supported by a pair of asymmetric steel arches that appear to skip across the river like a pebble skimming water.

Speirs and Major Associates designed the lighting in such a way that the iconic twin arches reflect in the water at night to form the mathematical symbol for infinity (∞) – hence the name. We’re told the unusual bit about the project is the way the lights respond to the movement of pedestrians, of which there is a video here.

Claesson Koivisto Rune

You know, I have no idea which pieces of work to showcase from Claesson Koivisto Rune as there is so much good stuff to look at. There’s a pool of dribble on the desk, I have been salivating that much at their work. From full house design to interiors to product design, the Stockholm-based agency have one of the very best portfolios of work around. Thanks to Mårten, Eero & Ola for the email.

i29

The latest project of i29 is a residence at the Singel, Amsterdam (NL). This exists from one open space where several functions have been put into freestanding objects. The kitchen and wardrobe are placed near the entrance and combined into one single volume.

The bath- and bedroom is hided into a volume which is placed at back of the house. From the open living area you look alongside the volume towards the vertical garden and the entrance stairs to the roof terrace. The view on the green wall holds a promise in itself which will be redeemed once you enter the bed/bathroom.
