*Ideas for My Living Area*

yellow theme

B&W with pop of colour

natural

totally B&W

fuschia + natural theme

Hello dear.. today i'm just about researching on fresh design for my living.. well, its already a year & still me and hubby live in a mess house. We need a new perspective rite now to be more productive. Don't u think so?? gosh....

Personally.. myself is more to simple with B&W theme. But u know la... sumtimes our family come & visit us. And for sure my mom will yell at me 'bout whats going on with my mind. She love to influence me with those 'makcik-makcik' theme with lot of flowery, gaudi look or 'luxurious' theme.. She hates black. She will annoy me with all the colours. ermmm... yeah i knew! She's a mother aite.. they always rite even though i am an interior designer. However, me more 'same kepale' with abah.. hahhahah... he love recycling thing just like me. he love the concept of 'Less is more' just like me.. hahhahahha... okay la, enuff rumbling!!

Which concept should i take?? oh my hubby??? well he's not gonna be pain in my a**... He just love what I choose as long as doesn't make him broke.. muahahhaha.. Ala.. cantik cam mane pun nanti dia jgk yg sepah2kan... sabo je la.. 

That's all for now! Still in research mode. Any ideas shall share wif me or u can even share wif me what the best blog i can 'say-hye' instead!! Thanks (>________<)v

*simple...less is more*

For those who are still looking for a job, how will u prepare your resume? Kinda boring & regid & old? Why dun ya try this new layout of resume created by loft resume graphic designer. Awesome aite!! But maybe not applicable on some 'traditional' office... For us in design field, it is an interesting entry to compete for interview. This is how u can makeover your old resume to stand out among others. Ya lah... too much freshies & rivals out there more than nos of position available in market. I read about this through A Cup of Jo (well...i'm sooo admired with her words & ideas). U can check it out more design here.

Good Luck dear!

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...

Love this vintage collection of Pashley bicycle.. Origin from UK and it is British hand building bicycle since 1926. The founder was William 'Rath' Pashley. I really heart their series of princess & tri-cycle... so classic & la cirque... hehehehe... have a wonderful fasting day !

t o d a y' s f a v :

cool aite !!?? really heart with this cool outdoor lamp post.. such a 'nature's friendly' stuff. it's look like the lamp post hugging the tree and starting to dance together... amazing concept ! It designed by Design System for pedestrian path in front of Kaifong Community Hall in Hong Kong. Here in Malaysia, I spotted lamp post with special design mostly at Putrajaya and hardly seen in other places. Well, i think we should provide something new for enviro & decorate with cool stuff just to beautify our 'brick-jungle' as we want to be 1 of the modern + urban country...

OMG ! : 'Tartu Rebase Street'

the urban architecture

the side elevation view

facade & balcony view

the spiral staircase view & architecture's detail

This is a flexible concept estate housing located in Tartu, Estonia. It is designed by Atelier Thomas Pucher. This magnificent architecture features 2 worlds collide : the low cost apartment life & the luxurious villa lifestyle, with wide access to private outdoor spaces. The total built-up area is 29,200 sqm. And this is a compact villa organized in zoning. 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. The inner ring close to the lobby is design for active zone which include bathroom, kitchen, entrance, wardrobe, toilets & sauna.... For the outer ring oriented to the outside panoramas is more to relaxing area... it is require for living & less noise area than the inner ring zone. So, are u folks love to live in this such urban & hybrid architecture ?
