Trevose Harbour House
Room divider for the recently opened Trevose Harbour House in St.Ives, separating the breakfast area from the snug. The owners have a healthy amount of mid century modern classics and I made this piece to fall in with the style. It all looks amazing, some of the views are stunning and the owners (Angela & Olivier) have put their heart and soul into Trevose, so its well worth a stay if you are in the area. They are also opening the terrace cafe soon.

EMF
Projecte de restauració del paratge de Tudela-Culip (Club Med) al Parc Natural del Cap de Creus from ielei on Vimeo.
The story goes, Old Club Med resort in Spain gets reclaimed to protected park status and has to be demolished. Cue landscape architects EMF to re-integrate the complex to nature.
It's quite interesting, leaving traces of DNA, but I wonder why the reaction was to leave this evidence and not do something completely new? I guess reinstating the natural environment is unusual, and maybe EMF felt it was important to know that it happened, and this is why the work nods at the history of the site.

The Floating Church
Apologies, this is really doing the rounds on the web..... but.... it is an interesting image. The mad thing is that church is still in its exact original position, everything else has been excavated to make room for a 2 storey basement extension.

Oscar Tusquets Blanca
No flashing 'Les Miserables' advertising and overly bright strip lighting here, with Oscar Tusquets Blanca's effervescent and jubilant re-imaging of Toledo Metro station in Napoli. What an agreeable sight to start you commute to work.
