A Garment to Trust by Morgan Griffiths Hagan

“In an industry fuelled by overconsumption, ‘A Garment to Trust’ celebrates the beauty of the use and wear of a garment.

“Taking inspiration from the solidity and permanence of brutalist architecture, this collection centres around longevity, durability and versatility.

“Brutalism celebrates the use of quality materials and considered construction, which has been applied to each stage of the design process, from initial visual research to the careful planning of the final collection.

“Researching utilitarian design and workwear highlights the importance of having clothes that you can rely on and trust.

“This collection has been designed with the user experience in mind – unisex, durable, waterproof and multi-seasonal, the garment is a sustainable, wearable solution for modern consumers to treasure for years to come.”

Untitled by Emma Shoesmith

“Illustrations created with gouache and gold ink sit as the foundation of my mixed media collection. My botanical artwork is translated using processes such as digital print, laser etching and embroidery.

“Further detailing is added implementing traditional goldwork and sublimation printing.

“The creative process allowed me to explore and engage with a grounded balanced colour palette, elevated with my signature use of gold.”

Artisanal Heritage by Lucy Dollery

“‘Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations’ – UNESCO.

“Artisanal Heritage celebrates the integration of heritage crafts into contemporary design, emphasising the value of quality and longevity.

“As an artisanal designer, I utilise skills such as machine knitting and crochet to create designs that incorporate elements of leather, drawing inspiration from protected heritage sites across the UK.

“My work raises awareness about endangered crafts and their cultural significance, paying tribute to their enduring legacy, inspiring future generations to continue to value and preserve these invaluable treasures.”

Printed Textiles by Niamh Clement

“My research has been driven by found assorted objects and textiles from markets, charity shops, archive collections and museum artefacts.

“These miscellaneous collections express the varied and random nature of human tastes, histories and lives.

“Even objects that have been lost or donated by others, which can appear mundane, hold personal significance to owners and their connection to these objects can tell stories of their lives.

“I have created a personal archive of objects I have connected with, looking at the texture, pattern, and colour they possess and have deconstructed them to reimagine them in my own style.

“My use of found fabrics not only comes from this interest in sustainability but also draws on my interest in the layers of human life found in their objects.”

A creative exploration into imperfections found in fruit and vegetables by Emma Kirkpatrick

“I wanted to increase awareness surrounding the issue of food waste in the UK.

“I explored perfect and imperfect forms to translate within my knit developments.

“I also experimented with creating three-dimensional, textured pieces, which reflect decay and distorted shapes through use of colour and structure.”

Student: Emma Kirkpatrick

Course: BA (Hons) Design for Textiles (Fashion, Interior, Art)

The Sacred Talisman by Dela Ball

“Taking inspiration from objects, colours, the environment, people and trends, I’ve created new works, elevating the ordinary into something refreshing and with strong emotional concepts.

“Noticing connections between the surrounding environment, and the self, fuels my work and the connections created as a result.

“As designers, I believe we have the responsibility to use our outputs to raise awareness, educate, connect, and inspire others.

“Revealing relationships and encouraging discovery within myself and my audience was an imperative aim during the creation of The Sacred Talisman.”

Untitled by Mia Rowe

“My project is about capturing the visual and tactile properties of lichen to reflect how interacting with materials can enhance our emotional wellbeing.

“The symbiotic relationship between lichen and its facilitators is reflective of the connection that people have with inanimate objects, and through exploring these properties the collection reflects how we can reconnect with our environment to encourage moments of calm.

“This exploration of lichen has been reimagined as a collection of woven textiles for a protective interior space.

“The colours within my samples were carefully chosen to mimic the colours of lichen, with greens and browns to be grounding, and yellow to bring a sense of resilience.

“My passion for the meditative process of woven textiles enables me to create fabrics with the visual and tactile experience of the user in mind.”

Cosmic Communications by Hannah Lyness

“My project explores technology, communications and space, inspired by installations at the Tate Modern and initial inspiration from the film A Space odyssey.

“The interior collection comprises of digital and hand printed geometric fabrics, wallpapers and laser cut and stacked hard surface explorations.

“The designs explore bold colour, geometric, linear shapes, metallic finishes and textures. This collection has been imagined for fun and playful domestic interiors.”

Student: Hannah Lyness
School: Arts University Bournemouth
Course: BA (Hons) Textiles Design

Pattaya by Lily Cornell

“The Pattaya collection explores the wonders of markets across Asia through a series of prints, each focusing on an individual location.

“The collection looks at these markets but also depicts the beauty of the flora and fauna that surrounds them. The prints use a variety of both digital and traditional techniques to produce a series of exciting and diverse outcomes.

“The bright colours of these markets have heavily influenced the energetic colour palette, with the aim to bring joy and fun back into interior spaces.”

Future Membranes by Ruta Vronevskyte

“I am designing for the future of fashion, where the clothes we wear now are no longer appropriate due to climate change; where biosynthetic membranes have emerged as the new form of clothing; where textiles are an extension of the body – a second skin.

“In recent years, environmental damage has become increasingly present, and the call for alternative materials gets louder – leading me to experiment with red algae-based biomaterial.

“Biomaterials cannot undergo traditional processes in textiles, such as printing – unconventional materials are calling for unconventional processes.

“To achieve patterns, I used laser engraved and hand-assembled moulds – the imagery I use to engrave the moulds is inspired by crochet pieces crafted by my late grandmother.

“Traditional crafting is now translated into modern materials.”

The post New Designers presents 10 award-winning fashion and textiles projects appeared first on Dezeen.

Living in a sustainable, conscious, and smart manner has become not only a necessity but our moral obligation and duty toward the planet. Our homes should seamlessly integrate with, and nourish the planet, not drain her resources and reduce her lifespan. Being at one with Planet Earth, while taking rigorous care of her has never been more of a priority. In an effort to encourage an eco-friendly way of life, sustainable architecture has been gaining immense popularity among architects. They have been designing sustainable homes. These homes aim to harmoniously merge with nature, co-existing with it in peace, and allowing us to live in equilibrium with the environment. They reduce their carbon footprint and encourage a sustainable and clean lifestyle. And, not to mention they’re aesthetically and visually pleasing as well! From a tiny sustainable home that only measures 3×3 meters to a hostel in Shanghai built using recycled red bricks, natural clay, and reed bundles – these amazing designs will convert you into a sustainable architecture advocate!

1. The Coodo

A couple of years ago, German entrepreneur Mark Dare Schmiedel got pretty fed up with the chaos of Berlin and decided to move to the countryside, building his own quaint loft along the banks of the River Spree. The peace, calm, and zen that followed, got him wondering whether it would be possible to create a similar, but a mobile form of home, that could provide the same sanctuary to others. In his quest for such a retreat, he came across a mobile home concept designed by a group of Slovenian architects called ‘Coodo’. Schmiedel went on to procure the design rights of the concept, through his company LTG (Lofts to Go) and kickstarted the production of the units. The modular homes aim to bring you closer to nature, to a space away from the crowds, where you can truly enjoy the beauty of a moment.

Why is it noteworthy?

It features a curved, minimal steel frame with rounded edges and stunning floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The beautiful glass walls allow a generous stream of sunlight to enter the home. Whether on rooftops in the city, on beaches, on mountains, or alongside a river, the Coodo can be easily installed almost anywhere.

What we like

• Integrated utilization of smart home technology.
• Adherence to Passive House standards.

What we dislike

• With its focus on natural settings, we wish there was a way to enclose the open patio space to close up when away from the home

2. Haus Hoinka

Located in the district of Pfaffenhofen, Germany is a small house called Haus Hoinka. Designed by Atelier Kaiser Shen, the Haus Hoinka is nestled in a little village that is dominated by half-timbered 16th and 17th-century houses, a rustic church setting, and vineyards.

Why is it noteworthy?

A major initiative of this project is to utilize and encourage sustainable building construction using simple and clean materials that can be easily and efficiently recycled separately. The project aims to use natural and renewable materials that can be released into the natural cycle later. Bales of straw and a mixture of clay plaster were employed as the materials of choice for this initiative.

What we like

• The late 19th-century construction practice used by the architects focuses heavily on straw as it is renewable and recyclable

What we dislike

• The aesthetics and style of the home are pretty traditional, which won’t be appreciated by everyone

3. Octothorpe House

Called the Octothorpe House, this impressive home in the Oregon high desert area near Bend was commissioned by a couple Mike and Katherine to Mork-Ulnes Architects. They wanted a home that would harmoniously merge with the desert landscape, and be environmentally friendly as well.

Why is it noteworthy?

To meet the client’s desire for a sustainable home, Mork-Ulnes Architects decided to use ‘cross-laminated timber’ in the construction of the home. What makes this timber sustainable is the fact that it has a strength-to-weight ratio that’s similar to concrete, but it is five times lighter as compared to it. CLT is pre-cut off-site, which also reduces construction waste immensely.

What we like

• The architects utilized CLT to build the interiors and the exterior of the Octothorpe House, this prevented them from releasing almost 15 metric tons of greenhouse gases into the air

What we dislike

• The central courtyard has an open design, which we hope has a retractable roof

4. 3×3 Retreat

Tucked away in the rainforest landscape near Southern Chile’s La Unión city is a tiny cabin called the 3×3 retreat. Designed by Estudio Diagonal Architects, the tiny home was designed to create a sense of cohesion between the ‘radical geometry’ of the structure, and the natural and organic essence of the site.

Why is it noteworthy?

The cabin aims to function as a comfortable, cozy, and functional dwelling in the raw rainforest, without disturbing or causing harm to the forest in the least. It is placed on a slope, that subtly overlooks the Radimadi River. This was a genius move since it allows the cabin to provide its residents with stunning views of nature.

What we like

• The entire cabin was constructed by using common and economical building materials, such as standard pre-dimensional pine wood
• Local construction techniques were utilized

What we dislike

• The small footprint may not be suitable for everyone. Some people may find it too tiny

5. The Nokken Cabins

Called the Nokken Cabin, these prefab cabins can be purchased by anyone, but the designer duo has bigger plans for them. They want clusters of them to be placed in beautiful and remote locations to create “landscape hotels”, that can provide a luxurious glamping experience. You would be able to connect with nature and unwind, but in a comfortable and cozy space – without having to roughen it out basically.

Why is it noteworthy?

The Nokken Cabin was created for the purpose of expansion and was meant to be a pretty flexible structure. It can be used as a travel accommodation, a workspace, a retail element, a spa, a restaurant, or even as a simple home.

What we like

• A beautiful picture window in front of the bed provides surreal views of the landscape.

What we dislike

• While we love the minimal black structure, would be great if there was an optional open space/terrace space to better appreciate the surroundings

6. SOM LAND

Chinese design studio RooMoo transformed a pre-existing building into a hostel on the Chongming Island of Shanghai. Called the ‘SOM LAND’, the hostel is named after the traditional Chinese color of warm green, which makes a reference to the gaps found in between tree shadows and is a tribute to a slow-paced life.

Why is it noteworthy?

The construction of the hostel involved the utilization of local customs and handicrafts and caused minimum damage to the surrounding land. In fact, it incorporated the surrounding environment into the architectural scheme.

What we like

• To incorporate sustainability into the structure, it was built using recycled old wood boards, wasted red bricks, tree branches, reed bundles found on the site, and bamboo and other locally sourced and discarded materials

What we dislike

• Despite being renovated, the aesthetics of the hostel are old-school and can be considered out of style

7. LILELO

Nestled away in the center of Piedmont, Italy, surrounded by vineyards and woodlands is LILELO (Little Leisure Lodges). It includes a group of four adorable wooden cabins.

Why is it noteworthy?

The cabins are inspired by traditional haystacks, creating a triangular silhouette, which is supported by a trunk-like base. The cabins have been elevated off the ground, ensuring they don’t touch it, in an attempt to adopt a sustainable approach. This approach lays an emphasis on energy efficiency and eco-compatibility materiality.

What we like

• The elevated cabins ensure that there is minimal impact on the ground, while also beautifully complementing the sloping topography
• The eco-cabins artfully merge with their surrounding, creating the impression that is it at one with nature around it

What we dislike

• There’s only one door in the entire cabin, which can lead to a lack of privacy

8. Casa ZGZ

Montevideo-based architecture firm iHouse constructs prefabricated homes using the latest dry construction methods currently trending on the international stage. With only 70 days to build a home for Conrado, an Uruguayan living in London, on his family’s property in Colonia, iHouse was well-equipped to take on the project. Formed by the merging of two modules, Casa ZGZ was constructed offsite and then installed on the family’s property in just five days.

Why is it noteworthy?

As Colonia is one of Uruguay’s oldest towns, the team behind Casa ZGZ hoped to maintain the spirit of the region’s historical architecture while contemporizing the cabin to accommodate modern needs. The single-level residence is clad in black in an effort to present hide the home in plain sight amongst the many elements of nature that surround it. The black exterior also warms up the home’s wooden interior, which is paneled with wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

What we like

• Minimizing the home’s impact on the region’s environment and land, Casa ZGZ was constructed offsite in two modules
• Coexists in harmony with a space alien to its language

What we dislike

• It could have been equipped with another level/story

9. Koto Design x Adobu’s Prefab Home

Based in the English seaside village of Westward Ho!, the architecture studio Koto Design captures the mellow vibe of a day spent at the seashore and translates it into a home space. Inspired by Scandinavian simplicity and Japanese minimalism, the result comes through breezy, open floor layouts and organic building materials.

Why is it noteworthy?

The architecture studio is known for its extensive catalog of sustainable, prefabricated tiny homes that can be transported to locations across the globe. In a recent collaboration with the USA-based, backyard home-building company Adobu, the two studios worked together to construct a tiny, prefabricated home that marries Scandinavian design with a Californian twist.

What we like

• Provides a semi-outdoor lifestyle
• Is carbon-neutral, and provides off-grid capabilities

What we dislike

• With its sloped roof, it will be difficult to grow the space vertically

10. The Folding Dream House

Michael Jantzen, a multidisciplinary artist based in New Mexico, is one artist who seems endlessly inspired by geometry. Merging sustainability, architecture, and technology, Jantzen developed an adaptable modern home called The Folding Dream House that expands from an enclosed, cubic structure into a multi-layered, dream home.

Why is it noteworthy?

From its initial conception, the Folding Dream House was designed as a place to sleep. Amounting to the size of a conventional hotel room, the Folding Dream House consists of two prefabricated, portable modules. Each rectangular module is envisioned mounted atop an elevated, triangular foundation that connects the home’s expandable support beams to its frame. On each facade of the Folding Dream House, Jantzen envisioned triangular overhangs and partitions as foldable panels that expand from the home’s frame.

What we like

• The panels can be folded open or closed in many different ways around the modules in order to accommodate various functional and/or aesthetic requirements

What we dislike

• It’s still in the conceptual phase, which means that there could be fundamental changes as the material restrictions come in the production phase

The post Top 10 sustainable homes designed to be the ultimate eco-friendly dwellings first appeared on Yanko Design.

Kitchens with exposed concrete surfaces take centre stage in this lookbook, which includes homes in Mexico, Japan and Ireland.

Concrete is a ubiquitous material in architecture, but it is less commonly used in interiors – particularly in residential spaces such as kitchens.

However, its durability and impermeability make it an ideal surface material for cooking and food preparation, while its raw aesthetic can create a striking backdrop for dining and entertaining.

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. Other recent editions showcase airy balconies, marble bathrooms and gallery interiors.

House in Jiyugaoka, Japan, by Airhouse Design Office

Airhouse Design Office created this kitchen as part of its renovation of an apartment for a fashion fanatic in Nagoya, Japan.

Like the rest of the home, the kitchen’s walls, floor and ceiling have been stripped back to expose the concrete beneath. While some areas were left with chipped edges and plaster, others have been polished for a smooth finish.

Casa H3, Argentina, by Luciano Kruk

This open-plan kitchen and dining room sits on the ground floor of a holiday home by architect Luciano Kruk in Mar Azul.

Blending seamlessly into the home’s concrete structure, it features geometric shelving and kitchen counters that extend from the walls and floor. Its industrial look is complemented by an enamel pendant light and a pair of wireframe chairs.

Casa Alférez, Mexico, by Ludwig Godefroy

In a pine forest in Mexico, architect Ludwig Godefroy created a brutalist cube-shaped home that is built from concrete cast in situ.

This includes its kitchen, where the shelving and worktops are also all cast from concrete. Here, their raw finishes are juxtaposed with delicate ceramics and Danish designer Hans Wegner’s Wishbone chairs, visually softening the space.

Flower House, Portugal, by Ezzo

The concrete worktops of this sunken kitchen double up as a smooth floor for the dining room at Flower House, a renovated dwelling in Porto.

Wood-fronted cabinets slot in beneath the flooring, which was hand-poured on site and has been covered with a waterproof coating to give it a polished look.

Toad’s House, Mexico, by Espacio 18 Arquitectura

Throughout the minimalist Toad’s House on Zapotengo Beach in Oaxaca, architecture studio Espacio 18 has left the concrete structure unfinished and exposed.

In the bar-style kitchen, the board-marked walls are teamed with glass ornaments and woven baskets, while a central island has been topped with a wooden countertop.

House T, Japan, by Suppose Design Office

This concrete kitchen is among the purposely dark and cave-like living spaces in the monolithic home that Suppose Design Office designed for its founder in Tokyo.

Its concrete walls and worktops have tactile finishes, which stand against a backdrop of large stone floor tiles and wooden furnishings.

Hollybrook Road, Ireland, by TOB Architect

Irish studio TOB Architect designed this concrete kitchen extension to evoke the feeling of “being a child under a very robust table”.

It was cast in situ as one geometric form with the goal of creating a seamless and cavernous look inside. The architect chose an otherwise restrained material palette of terrazzo, walnut and Accoya wood in an effort to retain focus on the texture of the concrete.

Find out more about Hollybrook Road ›

Casa Golf, Argentina, by Luciano Kruk

Another concrete kitchen by architect Luciano Kruk is found in Casa Golf, a holiday home on the Argentinian coastline.

Paired with black cabinets and extractor ducting, its dark-grey surfaces add texture to the space without distracting from the outward views framed by the variety of windows that line the space.

The post Eight concrete kitchens with raw and tactile surfaces appeared first on Dezeen.

This week on Dezeen, the annual Don’t Move Improve! competition named Nic Howett Architects’ The Secret Garden Flat as London’s best new home improvement project for 2023.

The flat, which is located in the borough of Southwark, was praised by the judges for showing “how a very high standard of craftsmanship can be achieved with a low budget”.

It was chosen from a shortlist of 15 renovations revealed in April by Don’t Move Improve!, an annual competition held by New London Architecture (NLA).

“The Secret Garden is full of surprises,” said judge Marie-Louise Schembri. “This beautiful home in a very busy and dense urban part of London feels like an oasis and has consolidated existing neighbourhood and family communities.”

We continued our coverage of the Venice Architecture Biennale with a story on the Zero Gravity Urbanism exhibition, which showcased designs for the controversial Neom project in Saudi Arabia and featured masterplans by Danish studio BIG for its octagonal port city Oxagon.

A number of studios also shared insights into their work on The Line mega city – the most publicised of all Neom developments. Architect Peter Cook said its height is “a bit stupid” and questioned whether the project would be fully realised.

And Italian Studio Fuksas, which is also working on The Line, said it “does not touch the poetry of the desert” in an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica.

In other Venice news, Zaha Hadid Architects principal Patrik Schumacher has said Venice Architecture Biennale “does not show any architecture”.

In a post on Facebook titled Venice Biennale Blues, Schumacher called the event an “anti-architectural biennale” where the national pavilions “refuse to show the work of their architects”.

“The Venice ‘Architecture’ Biennale is mislabelled and should stop laying claim to the title of architecture,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Clerkenwell Design Week launched in London this week. In celebration of the event, British artist Steve Messam created four inflatable sculptures designed to “reimagine the architecture” of their locations in Clerkenwell.

Among them was a six-metre-high inflatable made from a bright blue hand-sewn textile and characterised by its 27 spikes, which poke out from the archway of St John’s Gate – a medieval gatehouse built in 1504.

Car brand Bugatti entered the residential real estate market this week with its design for a 42-storey skyscraper that will let residents drive straight into their penthouses.

Set to be located in Dubai, the Bugatti Residences will be made with Dubai-developer Binghatti and will have a sinuous form wrapped in balconies on every level.

In other car news, we looked at how electric-vehicle technology is changing car design. Dezeen features editor Nat Barker spoke to experts and car designers, who said cars will start to look dramatically different as electric vehicles become the norm.

Popular projects this week include a stable in Umagoya, Japan, built from traditional Japanese joinery in cypress and cedar, a stone-clad Nevada house and a New York store modelled on a collegiate locker room.

Our latest lookbooks featured airy terraces and balconies and marble-lined bathrooms.

1. The Oku Knife

Designed by Kathleen Reilly, the Oku Knife was inspired by Japanese table settings and features a unique handle that folds at 90 degrees from its blade. The innovative folded shape of the knife allows the handle to be placed on a surface, with the blade sitting perpendicularly away from that particular surface. You can even rest the knife’s blade along the edge of a cutting board or plate.

2. Joseph Joseph Salad Bowl & Servers Set

Element Studio and Joseph Joseph teamed up to create this minimal salad bowl and servers set. This smart space-saving design allows both products to be integrated into one convenient product, while harmoniously unifying form and functionality. It is quite pleasing to look at and also occupies minimum space on your dinner table and kitchen drawers.

3. Brunetti’s Ceramic Mugs

Designed by Frank Brunetti, these ceramic mugs are truly a beauty to look at! He opted for a full matte monochrome appearance, complemented by a touch of glossiness on the edge. He envisioned the mug in a wide array of vibrant color options, so they look like a wholesome and colorful pack of mugs when placed together. These would truly be a vision of your dinner table.

4. Wasteware

Viennese designer, Barbara Gollackner collaborated with Australian chef and restaurant owner Martin Kilga to create the ‘Wasteware’ collection, a range of tableware made using leftover food! The duo created a collection of bowls, plates, and cutlery using industrial and personal food waste. To bring the interesting tableware items to life, the studio utilized food waste such as pork skin, and old bread – from personal and industrial waste.

5. NEST

Designed by Mirko Romanelli, the NEST is a minimalist black and white salt and pepper shaker that draws inspiration from a bird’s nest. The shaker design was built using marble, providing it with a sophisticated yet sturdy identity. “The nest envelops, houses. and protects the egg inside. The aim is to work with marble through simple and geometric shapes such as the sphere and the toroid, enhancing the material aspect of marble and offering the user a product that gives great flexibility of use,” said Romanelli.
