timber + ideas = awesome architecture!

  

I do love great architecture. Here are some sneek peek on urban architecture with timber implication. However, today's designer are more to green construction so they gonna use eco-friendly engineered timber. In Malaysia, there are a few of trusted company who produce this green product for todays construction. Yeah... as we all know, usually green stuff a bit more pricy in market. Therefore, most of local contractor or sub-contractor prefer to use product from China because they provide cheaper stuff compare to others... Why? me dunno either. Maybe they hav a lot of cheap labor.. or China is a big land so they hav a tonne of ground minerals & raw materials source... do you ever heard this phrase before : "Leave it to China, everything is possible!".... well, I do support design with green label & let us together protect the enviro with more green building. As shown above, timber 1 of my fav materials to create fascinating interior and same goes to exterior... which great architecture do you love frorm around world? and myself, I still amazed with Falling Water by Frank Lloyd Wright... a collaboration of stones and natures...

Which the middle part of the building contain a spiral staircase, and there are 2 rings of spaces in plan view : the inner ring & the outer ring.

OMG ! : 'Enter The Dragon'

Another ultimate architecture that amazed me. This is a corporate headquarters of Giant Interactive Group, situated in the western surburds of Shanghai, China. This masterpiece known as 'The Dragon'. It took 2 years of designing and 3 years of development. According to D+A mag, this is a new state-of-the-art structure had been constructed. The building was designed by award-winning L.A based firm Morphosis.

t o d a y' s f a v :

My favorite for today is mirror effect staircase with tempered glass railing... another element for a sexy home! what's your wish for a 'stair to heaven' ?

OMG !

Did u know that this very cool & awesome house was built in Kuala Lumpur ?? Yup... its true. The development by YTL Group company. However, they invited Paris-based Agence Jouin Manku to design this marvellous residence. The influence much more of nature metaphors & color which we could see from its form & materials. This is the ultimate design for Malaysian residential... I wish I can build up this kind of concept house one day!
