Air-conditioned wine bars Posted: 28 Nov 2013 01:32 AM PST Are you a lover of good wine? Then you know that an excellent wine is can spoil very quickly after leaving the winery if not stored properly. However, having one of these wineries buried on Earth seems impossible in the majority of households, especially for those who live in cities. Therefore, you have to equip your kitchen with a wine cooler that suits your needs and, of course, the available space. In addition, it is important that this offer conditions similar to that we have in these warehouses you just comment. To do this, the best are the heated wine. You speak of them here! Although there are other important aspects, such as the humidity, ventilation, vibration or light, the key to save the wine lies in temperature is adequate (between 14 ° C and 20 ° C). Unlike conventional refrigerators, the heated wine coolers are capable of staying at the indicated temperatures. But that is not all. The air conditioned fridges also maintain moisture to the minimum necessary, since ventilation is continuing. If control over temperature and humidity it joins the darkness with which the wine is protected, can ensure the longevity and quality of this precious liquid. In the market you’ll find wine of very different sizes and prices, and may retain from two to more than two hundred bottles. However, for a normal home is sufficient for a couple heated vinoteca 14 or 15 bottles. On the other hand, bars or restaurants that serve much wine, it is best that choosing wine with greater capacity or, if possible, have a wine cellar.

Factory: home and Studio of Ricardo Bofill Posted: 28 Nov 2013 12:29 AM PST Apocalyptic, unclassifiable, spectacular, stunning… The truth is that the descriptions left us short to describe the magnificent project of architectural rehabilitation carried out by Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura, to condition the cement factory at the beginning of the 20th century where the prestigious catalan architect today has day his Studio and residence. Under the name of The factory, this spectacular enclave consisted of no less than thirty original silos of whom were demolished twenty-two. Rehabilitation took place in 1975, but today this building is as impressive as it was when equipped. The catalan architect discovered the factory, located in St. Just D’Esvern (Barcelona) in 1973. Immediately set up his team to convert it in your home and center of operations. The rehabilitation lasted two years, after which the ruins became a landmark and an architectural landmark. Both inside and out, seems that we find within an engraving of Escher: stairs not climbing to nowhere, buttresses of cement that do not support anything… Eight silos which were preserved became offices, a laboratory of models, archives, library and a huge space known as “The Cathedral”, intended for lectures, meetings and screenings. The residence of the architect is also on the farm, surrounded by a wonderful and wild garden full of eucalyptus trees, cypresses, olive trees and palm trees. An amazing place that is the perfect residence for all a “superhero” of the Spanish avant-garde architecture. Photos: Richard Powers.

Wardrobe Piccadilly: modern tradition Posted: 27 Nov 2013 10:04 PM PST This unclassifiable wardrobe can be savored more or less, but that we can not put into question is its ability to take over the role of any environment. Mix the latest modernity and the classical tradition of its design makes it a piece surprising, in addition to keeping a big fit inside. Locker Piccadilly, so called, is intended to be part of a living room of luxury, where will shine with their own light. I confess that, despite its strange appearance, I in I love him… Once again, the Portuguese furniture company Boca do Lobo once again impact with its luxurious furniture designs. Furnishings that blend sumptuous materials with rustic elements, and designs inspired by classicism with colors and details of art. The Piccadilly Cabinet is inspired by architecture and the perspectives from the famous Piccadilly Circus in London, which is reflected in their architectural details: mouldings, friezes, arches… These details, that Yes, have passed through the filter of digital art, that has “pixelated” furniture turning pixels into cubic reliefs. According to its creators, this cabinet represents “a moment in time frozen between two generations”. If its exterior is radically different to any design which we referred to before, the inside of the Cabinet is balanced and harmonious. His Fund of mirror doubles volumes, increasing the effect of trompe-l’oeil that offers all the furniture, and also with drawers and shelves for storage. Finally, noteworthy finish in emerald green (color of fashion this year) and wood root that decorates the wardrobe: a classic combination, the maximum decorative luxury paradigm.

SETEC offices: a modern ‘Cathedral’ Posted: 27 Nov 2013 08:53 PM PST And that’s what comes to mind when we look at the impressive building that houses the new offices of the Centre of International SETEC, located in the town of Vitrolles (France). Funny retro style that pervades the entire project is not accidental; and is that in the 1970s, the architect Jean Prouvé developed a system to create three-dimensional, and structural steel plates with panels of acrylic on the front. This material was used to cover an vast area without having to increase the number of supporting elements. In the year 2011 rose a new module of offices, which used the same constructive approach for two reasons: its good result and avoid breaking the personal aesthetic of construction. The project, work of the Studio of architecture Sériès Et Séries, gives rise to a volume form of parallelepiped, settled on land in pending and the line that marks the edge of the property. It is also perpendicular to the boundary of the estate. An additive cantilever covers the original building and the new volume, in such a way that it serves as a Communicator between both buildings. The new construction consists of several plants, formed by a metal frame which rises on a partially buried concrete base. The siding was decided according to certain factors such as the budget, space needs and the possible variations of the program in the future. Different materials for enclosures, were tested on the basis of its structural qualities and lighting. Thus, chose to establish large openings allow access to natural light, covered by a large overhang that protects the Interior of sun exposure. Photos: © Series Et Series.

A fully industrial loft Posted: 27 Nov 2013 06:28 PM PST A few days ago, I spoke in Decorablog on what are the keys to decorate a loft and get that half avant-garde style, medium industrial is looking for in this type of real estate. The example that I bring today largely meets those keys, but what most caught my attention of his style is emphasizes how to maximize industrial environment, in such a way that sometimes his aesthetic can even be debatable.

The loft is an attic with terrace, which has been one of the most impressive reforms of all the property: added a fully glazed room, from which you can enjoy the best panoramic view of the famous building.

This curious “fishbowl” now houses the main room of the House. In the photo you can see how the previous area is glazed, while the rear still retains the original yellow metal sheets. Room connects to the lounge, located on the lower floor, through a fire.The rest of the loft is the simplest: concrete walls, pipes and steel beams to sight and an open design that welcomes in a single space, the lounge, the dining room and kitchen. The plant also has room for a child’s bedroom. In the wall voids, formerly intended for refrigeration equipment, have been set up housing Accessories multimedia : a hi-fi system, an inter-communicated video channel, a removable television crew, a library and a vertical monitor which focuses on the 24 the Empire State Building.
