Residencia RR | Andrade Morettin Arquitetos

rr.jpg

The RR house in Sao Paulo by the Brazilian Andrade Morettin Arquitetos lies close to the sea in a humid climate surrounded with thick vegetation. Being in this environment, the architects had to protect it from the sun with wooden screens and from the rain with huge windows that make you feel like you’re out in the nature. Good air circulation and protection from insects was crucial for this project. With the corridor between the outer facade, that is basically a membrane, and the inner facade they allow the air to circulate freely but at the same time the membrane screens keep the insects out. Wooo! I just translated that from Portuguese. Thank you, you’re such an incredible audience.

Skate Study House

Skateboarder Pierre-AndrĂ© Senizergues started a shoe company 16 years ago. After moving from Brittany to California, Etnies grew. He now got to a point in his career when he teamed up with Gil Le Bon De Lapointe, an interior designer, to do some furniture pieces out of skateboards. They called the project Skate Study House (site launches next week) – modern design classics remastered with skateboards. I have to say that they look great. They will be available for purchase from Colette in Paris. Fingers crossed mine comes with Arto Saari in the box.

Fucking Recycle.

And this is not me bitching around. The new poster collection by Becky Redman is kindly asking everybody to fucking recycle. It’s simple, it truly is. 50 posters have been screenprinted on 100% recyceled paper and posted in public. Each carries a short message that not only raises the awareness of the problem of waste but also ”provokes a sense of urgency.” She’s fucking right, ay? Fuck yeah. Fuck fuck fuckidy fuck :D That’s enough.
