Wallpaper Home Furnishings and Interior Design Award Winners
Designers G Di Tullio and S Ragaini joined talents to win the best New Domestic Appliance award for the 'Ciussai' bathroom heater that allows the user to stretch or wind the garden hose like structure to their liking or specific space requirements.
Interior design winner "Banq" by Office dA received inspiration from a Banyan tree that swirls and flows in a rather organic pattern. The woodsy interior design features layered Birch and recycled bamboo tables.The site was originally the formerly Boston's Penny Savings Bank which is now a hot spot for a multi-cultural dining experience led by chef Ranveer Brar.
The "Bloomframe" window by Hofman Dujardin Architects is the winner in the Most life-enhancing product category. This non-typical window responds to the push of a button to open up and relive any sense of being boxed in. Ironically the window opens up to create boxy structure that has been described as a bijou balcony.Sunday, February 7, 2010
Best Home Interior
If you have had a home for a while, it becomes dull after a while. This can be fixed with a little paint and elbow grease. This interior decorating guide contains tips and tricks that can tap the potential of any room and bring it to life. You will find painting styles and colors, and decorating techniques.
The first thought should be the scale of work, if the remodeling project involves more than cosmetic fixture replacements or surface interior decorating, it may be time to call in an plumber to assess you in your plumbing and pipe replacement. Homeowner should weigh the pros and cons of taking on an entire bathroom project alone. Admitting your strengths and weaknesses is the key to successfully completing any project on time and under budget.
Your bathrooms represent the greatest and fastest return on your remodeling investment. More than 80 percent of your bathroom remodeling expenses can be recouped within a year of resale. Not every room in the house offers such a return. Amazingly, kitchens are sixth on the list with just over 60 percent of the costs returned. Only bathroom additions beat bathroom remodeling with returns over 90 percent.

Moebius House by Tony Owen Partners in Australia
Moebius House is the family house in Sydney, Australia, that faces onto views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Designed by architects Tony Owen Partners, Moebius House explores elastic home design with micro changes to design criteria, a more environmentally sensitive form of design called ‘micro design’. Micro design utilises parametric modelling software which can respond to very small changes to design input criteria. The unique form is a response to the requirements to maintain view and solar corridors. Tony Owen Architects started by responding to the site with a series of movements which folded and twisted the space in order to maximise the changes of level, view opportunities and potential for connectivity to outside spaces at various ground planes. They created a dynamic model capable of responding to changes in these variables and allowed the models to run in real time. The architects then stopped the model when they felt they had a model which satisfied their concerns. The house has a fluidity of space which is a direct result of having a strong relationship with the surrounding landscape. Due to the complex geometry of this house and the need for such fine tolerances, we had to evolve a completely new system of fabrication and assembly for this house which more closely resembled that of a car.
