Inspiration is a key ingredient in architecture and design. Inspiration can be found in many things, from nature to other industries to building designs in other countries.
Recently plans were revealed for a unique building that is going to be built overlooking the Harbor in Sydney, Austalia. Architecture firm Grimshaw has revealed plans for an office tower overlooking Sydney harbour, which will comprise three district sections and a curving roofline that references the vaulted shells of the nearby Opera House. The design is intended to appeal to the “millennial worker” that the newly developing district aims to attract – innovators in the creative, technology and finance sectors.
Taller towers flanking the site will block many of the views towards the harbour, but a room set right at the top of the glazed portion of the scheme will be afforded a glimpse of the Opera House. The curving ceiling of this room is designed to reference the vaulted shells of Jørn Utzon’s iconic 20th-century design.
Villa De Sogni – House of Our Dreams. The name could not be more appropriate. Captivated by the Tuscan countryside, the owners of Villa De Sogni chose to bring the area’s rough-hewn stonework. plentiful, natural bounty and relaxed milieu to their two-acre hilltop retreat. Three years were spent working with architects and builders to design the perfect Tuscan Villa. Another three years were required to renovate this original Beer and Coleman creation. Poised high on a cul-de-sac of estate homes, Villa De Sogni marries luxurious, seldom-seen amenities with an enchanting old world soul. Villa De Sogni captures it all. Lush gardens flowering spring through fall. Sunlight sparkling off inviting pools. Terraces and balconies for dining, sunning and appreciating the sheer serenity.
