You have one in your drawer, right? The poor, neglected iPhone 4S, which served you faithfully all, sorry, all year. How can you be so heartless as to leave your once most faithful companion unattended in a dark room the minute a younger smartphone comes by, when it could be proudly shining or playing music on your desk. Thanks to designer Ivan Zhurba, this is now possible, as he has developed a lamp that lures old iPhones out of dormancy and uses them as a light and speaker.
Like the great architects, the greatest film directors also have their own recognizable signature, something by which they are instantly recognized. This was proven by the artist and architect Federico Babino from Barcelona, who imagined what the houses would look like if famous directors were architects. He packaged the architectural ideas that are inextricably linked with their cinematic masterpieces into the Archidirector project. And for an architect, the solutions are absolutely phenomenal, just as their films are phenomenal.

The Lofoten Opera Hotel will not be an ordinary hotel. Because not only will it lie in a magnificent location in Norway, where the Atlantic and high mountains meet (in an area called Glåpen near Lofoten), but with its serpentine shape it will be a unique attraction that will complement and emphasize both the beauty and the harshness of nature . The authors at the Snøhetta company imagined the hotel wedged between the mountains and the ocean as a golden snake resting in living rock.

On the shores of Lake Travis in Austin (Texas) stands the idyllic Tower House, designed by Andersson-Wise Architects. The house strongly stands out from its peers, as it is high and not walled with stone but covered with wood. Because of this, it just blends in with its surroundings. It was built with the aim of adding a living space to one of the mentioned huts. And a three-story building has grown up, whose wooden "facade" complements the surrounding stones beautifully and just begs you to climb to the top and admire the view of the lake.
