Home in the Hamptons
Eight lucky ladies get a new pad in the Hamptons. Designed by award winning architectural firm Architecture Research Office, this Chicken Coop is a sophisticated, rounded structure of bright cedar wood and copper shingles. Fully equipped with radiant heating, a roosting bar, an array of individual nesting boxes and a bath (dust), the ladies are the envy of all the local birds.

Skog Pavilion
A new Scandinavian law allowing homeowners to build small structures without permits has inspired Swedish architects Jägnefält Milton to propose a Forest Pavilion that dances between a tent and a permanent structure. The base, column and leaf-shaped lead roof are fixed components while the walls are polyurethane sheeting that is removable. The efficacy of the waterproof sheathing was selected because of its proven capabilities with bed-wetters.
The structure has a wooden platform with a patterned parquet floor that raises the base of the pavilion above the ground. According to the architects, all the timber needed for construction can be sourced during the site clearance.
The Berlin office of engineering firm Arup collaborated with Jägnefält Milton on the design of Forest Pavilion.
The architects have no client for it yet but if you’re thinking of a sweet little respite in the Swedish skog, the permit process will not get in the way.
Kitchen of the Month
A mix of farmhouse, industrial and modern aesthetics, the Patrick Sutton kitchen is composed of dark oak cabinets, salvaged steel window frames, and simple cuts.
These are several of our best photos. Enjoy!
The entire story can be found in House Beautiful’s December/January edition: “Kitchen of the Month, Rustic Modern.”
SsD presents an innovative approach to micro-housing. In their recently completed Seoul building, flexible spaces accommodate people’s changing needs over time. Living units can be combined for growing families and separated when relationships comes to an end. Will we see more of this kind of housing in the future?
This is an interesting re-take on prefabricated housing by Philippe Stark and Riko. The design lets in an abundance of natural light. Made of wood, with sustainable building construction practices, and equipped with wind turbines, solar panels, the Prefabricated Accessible Technological Homes or P.A.T.H. generate more energy than they use.
“Living in something 'deeply modern' is rare”, Philippe Stark says, “Modern engineering, by contrast, 'opens your mind because there is less materiality and there is more human… And if the home is structurally ecologic and energetic, it's even more coherent.'”
Wallpaper's interview reveals the mind and the man behind the designs.

Lifting Day for the cups on Governor's Island
A month goes by quickly and the Kips Bay Show House is now closed for 2014. Visit our Facebook page or our Pinterest board to revisit the work of top designers working together for a good cause, the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club.

Time-lapse photography and Construction of Governor's Cup, the winning design of the "City of Dreams Pavilion 2013-2014 Design Competition." has begun.
Designed by CDR Studio, the installation is Inspired by tape-lace crochet. The pavilion uses over 30,000 recycled plastic cups bound by zip-ties to form a densely-knit serpentine structure. A lacy infill of cups between the tape structure and branches of the trees creates an outdoor room. Governor's Cup is being assembled on Governors lsland now and will be on display all summer long.
Here you can see Tim placing cameras for the weeks long time-lapse. There will be changes in camera positions and multiple cameras will used to offer a more interesting take on project documentation.
Stay tuned for updates from Tim and Ashley!
This week we were honored to photograph each of the 22 installations created by some of the nation’s most celebrated interior designers and architects for the 42ND ANNUAL KIPS BAY DECORATOR SHOW HOUSE.
Pictured here is a vibrant room by Mendelson Group Inc. and what we were immediately drawn to is the vibrant blue suede walls. Photographically we wanted to capture the many colors playing off these walls and the relationship between them. The dimensions of the room were a challenge for design and photography, but Gideon Mendelson pulled it off.
Starting today (May 1), you can tour the work from this star-studded roster of designers and architects as it opens to the public at the Villard Mansion at 457 Madison Avenue, NYC.
