| Green Studio: Faceted Roof on a Modern Home Office Addition Posted: 12 Apr 2014 08:13 AM PDT Tucked into a garden beside a traditional home in Southeast London, this modern home office addition is a sharp geometric volume naturally insulated by a mossy green roof. The Studio by Fraher Architects was created in response to the need for private workspace for the owner and his employees, separate from the activity of his young family inside the main part of the home. The studio features a faceted exterior covered in triangular windows that bring in natural daylight, which were situated according to a detailed sunlight analysis. The split levels and unusual shape of the addition prevent it from taking up too much bulk in the garden, while maintaining a sense of privacy and tranquility, with no windows facing neighboring residences. All of the built-in furniture, like the bank of desks along one long wall of the office and even the staircase, features built-in storage to save space. Bright red parachute cord acts as a railing for the upper level and packs a graphic visual punch. The insulation provided by the greenery on the roof paired with the use of high-performance glazing and a natural ventilation strategy means the addition requires no heating or cooling of its own, and a solar array provides hot water for the kitchen and shower.

| Gorgeous Peg Lamp is an Exceptionally Minimalist Design Posted: 11 Apr 2014 02:00 PM PDT The Peg Lamp from Gagan Singh of Gagan Design is the very definition of minimalism. The lamp consists of a T-shaped piece of wood, a peg for balance, and a cord. The minimalist design is a perfectly simple interpretation of the classic desk lamp. The lamp is hand-crafted from wood and finished by hand with walnut oil to bring out the natural beauty of the wood. Each lamp is made to order and customizable with your choice of peg and cord color. When the lamp is placed on a desk or table, the peg holds it at the perfect angle to illuminate your space. The embedded LEDs give off a light that enhances the warm quality of the wood. A simple flip switch at the lamp’s base turns it off and on, and is the only adornment other than the brightly colored peg and cord. The beautifully simple lamp is available from the designer at his Etsy shop. Keep Going - Check Out These Great Related Dornob Articles: |
