The Slow and Green | Yoyogi Village by Kurkku
‘Retail villages’ have been an emerging occurrence in Tokyo as of recently, and Yoyogi Village is one such concept which integrates a green, slow space/ sanctuary with an exclusive retail experience for the sophisticated urban crowd. The urban oasis is the brainchild of two high-profile music creatives Takeshi Kobayashi and Shinichi Osawa, and the two visionaries branded themselves as “Kurkku’ for this venture. Helming the overall architecture is interior designer Masamichi Katayama of Wonderwall in collaboration with ‘plant hunter’ and landscape designer Seijun Nishihata.
As you enter the compound through a gateway of steel and glass, you’ll be greeted with a “village” of specialty shops and cafes nestled in converted shipping containers. A landscaped pathway would take you to the main attraction – code kurkku – which comprises of a lounge area, a music bar, and an eatery with a focus on Kyoto-Italian organic cuisine. The choice of natural wood floors and ceilings harks back to the wood architecture of rural Japan, and it is further enhanced by Nishihata’s lush massive green living wall which is breathtaking when viewed on every angle.
Lolita Cafe | Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Okey-dokes… back to the “old country” we go again today. I wanted to bring your attention to an interesting interior from Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana (see my previous post about As Apertivo in Ljubljana). Designed by Trije Arhitekti, Lolita Cafe was completed in 2011, and this year it was nominated for Best International Interior in the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards.
Although this space is certainly not my usual style, I am really taken by the flirty feminine aesthetic which is nicely balanced with a muted palette and bold accents of black that somehow manage to tone down the “sickly-sweet girlieness” (oh man, I’m on fire with my made up descriptions today). This look is such a perfect fit for macaroons and fancy cakes sold at the cafe, no? Multiple rich layers in the space are a real feast for the eyes, much like the deserts they serve are for the hungry bellies. There is no doubt that the giant graphic mural applied to the ceiling is the absolute hero. And then a hero comes along… Anyway, such a gutsy move which certainly paid off. I also love the stunning large format herringbone floor stained in a multitude of colours – I personally would have thought that was going be too much when coupled with the crazy ceiling, but no sir – it totally works! Also, no Slovenian interior would be complete without the black cherry pendants by the local design-superstar Nika Zupanc (who in fact designed As Apertivo in Ljubljana I blogged about previously.)
Apartment in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona
Simplicity is deceptive. What appears to be sleek and clean lined and refined is highly thought out and designed. Spanish-German architectural design firm YLAB arquitectos (Tobias Laarmann and Yolanda Yuste) have taken a 130m2 apartment in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and created a space of warmth and elegance, public and private, luxury and practicality. It is as if light and shade, white and earthy, cool and warm, natural surfaces, layers of texture, stone and wood, history and the present have all been distilled into a beautiful home. Deceptively simple. Simply wonderful. Images by Jordi Canosa and Daniela Cavestany.

OneSize Office in Amsterdam | Origins Architects
This office was designed by Dutch firm Origins Architecture for a creative studio OneSize. This is such a clever solution for an office which required a series of separate spaces without introducing (too many) solid walls. Freestanding timber structure subdivides the open area, and separates meeting from projection room and open studio space.
In order to keep the project cost under control, the designers chose to construct the freestanding structure out of an inexpensive ply material typically used underneath floor coverings. They cleverly offset a “low grade” building material with a sophisticated shape and crisp detailing to create an exceptionally striking space.
Maison Biscuit by au*m
Maison Biscuit designed by Pierre Minassia, AUM. Made of untreated concrete and glass, this house is defined by the screen of cut-out wood elements hung like a curtain on the outside of the glass. The house is located in a small village in the Alps in the Lyon area in France. The lot on which it is located has a major gap, with hills and abundant vegetation.
Penthouse Loft by RTK Architects
Fresh Loft by Joel Sanders Architects
Blesso Loft designed by Joel Sanders Architects.
Pushing green design beyond the familiar incorporation of a list of LEED certified materials; this NoHo loft renovation rethinks the notion of an urban garden by literally bringing the outside in. Exterior wood decking and vegetation flow into the heart of the loft forming a planted core, a living green veil that screens the public living/dining room from the private master bedroom. The stair bulkhead doubles as a skylight and provides access to a roof terrace planted with sedum and grasses. This green core is tactile as well as a visual: the owner can bathe surrounded by lush vegetation visible through a glass wall that separates the bathroom from this planted zone. The rear of the bathroom is clad with modular plant panels. Surmounted by a skylight, this living wall is yet another element that vertically links roof and interior. An eco-friendly palette of natural and synthetic materials confound traditional distinctions between natural and artificial. When seen from entry, the planted core merges with the living lounge: the upholstered floor and seating evoke a textile garden, the interior counterpart to the roof terrace, where a bed of sedum defines a walk-able planted surface.
Inhabited Fold by Garcia and Ruiz
Inhabited Fold another great work by Garcia and Ruiz.
‘The Inhabited Fold” is what its makers would like to call it. We would call it a peek into a new way of life. Made to showcase a vision of what the future might hold. Whirlpool gives the onlookers several chances to gasp for comfort. But the nonconformist design won’t let you. This design is so not what you would find even in the architectural design plans; we’d back slap its designers for some real out-of-the-box thinking.
Obakki fashion store with Shattered furniture
Obakki the local fashion house that using shattered furniture from BrentComber, the custom spruce point of sale counter and tea bar was the largest Shattered piece had ever built. The point of sale counter contains two Corian features. The closer one is the cash area, while the further one function as a specialty tea bar and jewelry display case. You can sit comfortably as you sip your tea with the counter in front of the white stools. Obakki is the illustration of modern store that could perfectly combined with natural and unique furniture style.

Sierra Space by Logan Johnson Architecture
A plant-filled stack of timber beams forms the reception desk of an environmental association’s headquarters in San Francisco.
Texan studio Logan Johnson Architecture designed the lobby for American company The Sierra Club.
Native Californian plants grow in hollowed-out grooves in the reclaimed fir desk, while ribbons of light glow through the cracks between each beam.
Behind the desk, pixelated images of the nearby Sierra Nevada Mountains decorate the walls.
Some other unusual reception desks on Dezeen include one made from stacked planes of marble and another that is bright red and integrates a bench.
Photography is by Matthew Johnson.

"Screw it" bench
The “Screw it” is made of two modules which appearances are correctly same. Each module has twelve pieces of wood. There are ‘hardwood joints’ to bear the weight between pieces. Two modules can be combined into one so that people can sit in various ways. Maximum four people can sit on the chair at the same time. This chair has a possibility to be used for public spaces, office lobbies and so forth.
