London-based Paul Crofts Studio referenced the area’s history of producing arsenal when designing the Cornerstone Cafe in part of a former munitions store.

“The warehouse building was part of a larger complex of munitions factories supplying all the armed forces during the First World War,” Paul Crofts told Dezeen.

Created by tessellating wood and white solid surface tiles, the chevron patterns that cover one wall and the counter front are based on the V-shaped badges used on army and navy uniforms to indicate rank or length of service.

“The inspiration for the chevron pattern was derived from the insignia on military uniforms and the repetition of the pattern was inspired by archive photos showing the endless stacks of the munition shells,” said Crofts.

The studio stripped back the interior to the original brick and render wall finishes and installed wooden seating booths with green upholstery along one side.

In the centre of the cafe, oak tables with white powder-coated metal legs are printed with grey and white arrows that alternate with the wood.

Various shapes and sizes of Paul Crofts’ Nonla pendant lights are suspended from the ceiling, positioned between the white truss beams.

Blackboard menus are mounted on the walls between strips of hot-rolled steel above oak display boxes for storing crockery and dry snacks.

Paul Crofts Studio sent us the project description below:


The cafe can be found in the industrial setting of the former factories and warehouses of Royal Arsenal Riverside, an area famed since the seventeenth century for producing munitions for the Royal Navy and armed forces. The building has been stripped back to a shell, while retaining character and authenticity.

Paul Crofts Studio’s scheme for the cafe leaves original features intact and exposed, while inserting new elements to contrast with the existing fabric of the building.

Cornerstone Cafe by Paul Crofts Studio

A chevron motif derived from the insignia on military uniforms can be found throughout the scheme, seen on the table tops, oak display boxes, and the counter and display wall. Banquettes upholstered in a military green create a delineation between old and new, running in a continuous line from the window reveals to the waiter station by the main door.

Bespoke solid oak tables, featuring the chevron motif screen-printed in a mixture of grey and white, have metal powder coated legs inspired by an industrial workbench. The Nonla lights by Paul Crofts – a contemporary interpretation of a traditional utility light fitting – appears in various sizes, while unfinished hot-rolled steel is used to line the kitchen walls and for the wall-mounted menus.

Cornerstone Cafe by Paul Crofts Studio

The scheme’s focal point is provided by the service counter and display wall, the design of which provides a deliberately new intervention to contrast with the rough surfaces of the existing interior. Created from a combination of solid wood and CNC-routed HI-MACS solid surface material in pure white, the chevron motif is inset in an irregular pattern to take the design from wood on one side, to white on the other. Display shelves are edged with a brass trim.

The industrial look is leavened by the use of clean white and warm timber, with homely café chairs by Hay and chalk boards behind the counter adding to the relaxed atmosphere.

Casa Rufo by Alberto Campo Baeza

Delicate glazing fits around a bulky concrete structure at this hilltop house in Toledo by Spanish architect Alberto Campo Baeza (+ slideshow).

Casa Rufo by Alberto Campo Baeza

With views stretching out towards the Sierra de Gredos mountains, the two-storey Casa Rufo was designed by Alberto Campo Baeza as “a hut on top of the cave”, with a sequence of ground-floor rooms overshadowed by a long and narrow rooftop podium.

Casa Rufo by Alberto Campo Baeza

A concrete canopy, described by the architect as like “a table with ten legs”, shelters a small section of the podium and is surrounded by frameless glazing, creating a transparent room that is visible from the surrounding garden.

Casa Rufo by Alberto Campo Baeza

A staircase leads directly down from here to the living and dining room below, where the architect has placed the entrance to the house.

Rectangular cutaways transform some of the rooms into open-air courtyards. Two bedrooms face in towards these spaces, rather than out through the exterior walls.

Another opening reveals the location of a parking garage, while a smaller void functions as a rooftop swimming pool.

A row of poplar trees was planted behind the house, helping to screen it from views from the north-east.

Alberto Campo Baeza lives and works in Madrid, and also teaches architecture at the Madrid School of Architecture. His other projects include Offices for Junta de Castilla y León, a glazed office block concealed behind a sandstone enclosure.

Here’s a project description from the architect:


Rufo House, Toledo

The brief was to build a house on a hilltop outside of the city of Toledo. The hill faces southwest and offers interesting views of the distant horizon, reaching the Gredos Mountains to the northeast.

Casa Rufo by Alberto Campo Baeza

The site measures 60 x 40 m and has a 10-metre slope. At the highest point, we established a longitudinal podium, 6 meters wide and 3 meters high, that extends from side to side the entire length of the site. All of the house’s functions are developed inside of this long box, the length of concrete creating a long horizontal platform up high, as if it were a jetty that underlines the landscape with tremendous force.

Casa Rufo by Alberto Campo Baeza

This long concrete box is perforated and cut into, conveniently creating objects and voids to appropriately accommodate the requested functions (courtyard + covered courtyard, kitchen, living room-dining room-hall, bedroom, courtyard + courtyard, bedroom, garage, swimming pool, bedroom, courtyard).

Casa Rufo by Alberto Campo Baeza

In this distribution the living-dining room opens to the garden while the bedrooms face onto courtyards open to the sky and garden, affording them the necessary privacy. The stairway connecting the upper floor is situated in the area behind the living-dining room.

Casa Rufo by Alberto Campo Baeza
Isometric diagram

On top of the podium and aligned with it, a canopy with ten concrete columns with a square section support a simple flat roof, as if it were a table with ten legs. Under this roof, behind the columns, is a delicate glass box. To protect the views of the house from the back, a simple row of poplars were planted.

Pixy Hall by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects

A kindergarten play area shaped like a mountain surrounded by clouds has been completed by Japanese firm Moriyuki Ochiai Architects (+ slideshow).

Pixy Hall by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects

Part of Piccolino Kindergarten in the southern Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa, the space was created primarily for art education and as a multi-purpose room for concerts, performances, exhibitions and children’s workshops.

Pixy Hall by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects

Children can explore by crawling over and around the brightly coloured wooden seats and through archways and small passages. When seats are pushed against the mountain they form steps, allowing children to clamber up the mountain shape through the clouds.

Pixy Hall by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects

The seats are also light enough to be picked up and stacked on top of or next to each other, creating new heights and spaces in the room.

Pixy Hall by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects

Architect Moriyuki Ochiai said he chose the triangular shapes because they were the most simple and suitable for children to use safely. “The size of the equipment is a unit on which two little children can be seated together so they feel close to each other and can naturally be friends,” Ochiai told Dezeen.

Pixy Hall by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects

Ochiai also explained that the height difference between adults and children brings about different ways to perceive and enjoy the environment. “A surface used as a counter by adults appears as a consecutive arch over houses to children,” he said.

Pixy Hall by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects

“From a kid’s perspective, the mountain rises from the clouds changing gradually from white to brown, while adults looking down from the top of the mountain see clouds floating below,” he added.

Pixy Hall by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects

Ochiai said he created the space to develop imagination, expression, communication and creativity skills for both adults and children. The renovated 90-square-metre floor space from an existing office building is in an area with lots of new housing projects where many families with young children live.

Pixy Hall by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects

Other kindergartens featured on Dezeen include a kid university with a courtyard of mulberry trees in Spain, a small wooden nursery in a public garden in Camden and a doughnut-shaped kindergarten in China.

Corniches by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra

Product news: French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have added three new colours to their Corniches shelves for Vitra.

Corniches by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra

The Bouroullec brothers chose dark grey, khaki and orange to supplement the black, white and Japanese red colour options that Swiss furniture brand Vitra launched last year.

Corniches by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra

Corniches is a storage system comprising shelves with rounded undersides that can be grouped on a wall to create a landscape of useful surfaces. Made from ASA plastic with a high gloss finish, the shelves are available in several different shapes and sizes.

Corniches by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec’s suspension lamps that dangle from tangled wires recently went into production with Flos, while an exhibition dedicated to the brothers’ career is currently in progress at Les Arts Décoratifs museum in Paris.

Vitra has also put its latest range of updates and reissues from the archive of French designer Jean Prouvé into production.

Here’s a short description of Corniches from Vitra:


Corniches arose from the need for small stor- age spaces to spontaneously keep items. “The same way that we hang our beach towel on a rock jutting from a cliff before diving into the sea, we need small storage spaces in everyday life, too”, explains Ronan Bouroullec.

Corniches by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra

And this is the reason that Corniches are neither regular shelves nor simple horizontal surfaces, but rather individual, isolated protrusions in the environments that we create.

Corniches by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra

Whether as a key rack beside the front door, a spot to put the soap dispenser in the bathroom, as a pedestal for a small collection of objects or as a large installation, Corniches are a new way to use the wall in your living space.

(Related movie) In this movie filmed at Vitra’s London showroom during Clerkenwell Design Week, Erwan Bouroullec explains that office environments are changing now there is less storage for papers and books.

Prenzlauerberg apartment by Sophie von Bülow

Berlin architect and designer Sophie von Bülow knocked through walls between two residences to create this spacious apartment in her home city (+ slideshow).

Prenzlauerberg apartment by Sophie von Bulow

Sophie von Bülow had to start from scratch when renovating the two apartments in the Prenzlauerberg district of Berlin, which hadn’t been touched since the Second World War.

Prenzlauerberg apartment by Sophie von Bulow

“The apartments were totally time-worn,” Von Bülow told Dezeen. “Everything had to be done new, which was a lovely challenge.”

Prenzlauerberg apartment by Sophie von Bulow

Two full-height gaps were created in the walls separating the adjacent apartments and the layout was rearranged to encompass both.

Prenzlauerberg apartment by Sophie von Bulow

Von Bülow strived to restore and preserve the original features in the property. “We tried to keep the lovely details like the old art nouveau stucco, parts of the old timber piling and the beautiful windows,” she said.

Prenzlauerberg apartment by Sophie von Bulow

Peeling wallpaper was removed so the walls could be replastered and painted neutral colours, while wooden floors was sanded and oiled.

The bathroom floor was replaced with a screed-like material created by German company Concreed, which was also formed into a sink mounted on a wall of white tiles.

Tables in the living spaces were also designed by Von Bülow, including the coffee table made from square steel tubes and topped with pigmented prestressed concrete.

Rooms are filled with an eclectic mix of furniture, fittings and ornaments including metal toolboxes used for storing small items and a scuffed red pig.

Baitogogo by Henrique Oliveira at Palais de Tokyo

A twisted entanglement of tree branches appears to grow organically from the beams of Paris’ Palais de Tokyo museum in this installation by Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira (+ slideshow).

Designed by Henrique Oliveira to look like an impossibly tangled Gordian Knot, the Baitogogo sculpture is installed within an exhibition space at Palais de Tokyo as a mass of tree-like plywood branches.

“Creating a spectacular and invasive Gordian Knot, Henrique Oliveira plays with Palais de Tokyo’s architecture, allowing a work that combines the vegetal and the organic,” said the exhibition curators.

Baitogogo by Henrique Oliveira

An existing grid of columns and beams appears to morph into the twisted branches. “Through a form of architectural anthropomorphism, Henrique Oliveira reveals the structure of the building,” added the curators.

dezeen_baitogogo_henrique_oliveira_9

The large installation was created from reclaimed tapumes – a plywood material traditionally used in Brazilian towns to construct the hoardings around construction sites. Oliveria collects the discarded tapumes from the streets of São Paulo, where he both lives and works.

dezeen_baitogogo_henrique_oliveira_8

The veneer-like strips were bent into shape and nailed together to form the installation’s branches. Further wooden veneers were fixed to the structure to give it a bark-like texture and appearance.

Here’s a film showing the making of Baitagogo:

The Baitogogo exhibition is open at the Palais de Tokyo museum in Paris until 29th September 2013.

Earlier this year we posted a slideshow of all our favourite stories about indoor forests and trees which includes a 30-metre-long poplar tree that protrudes a kiosk in Indianapolis and a beauty salon in Osaka that has birch trees wedged between the floor and ceiling.

Benidorm skyscraper built without an elevator

Intempo tower blunder sees Benidorm skyscraper built without a working lift

News: the builders behind this two-tower 47-storey skyscraper in Benidorm, Spain, have forgotten to include a working lift.

Spanish national newspaper El Pais has reported that one of Europe’s tallest residential skyscrapers, the 200 metre-tall Intempo tower in Alicante, has been built without a working elevator above the 20th floor.

Designed by Spanish architects Roberto Perez Guerras, the skyscraper features two symmetrical towers that are joined at the top with an inverted cone-shaped structure.

It was originally designed with 20 storeys, but developers later decided to extend it to 47 storeys – offering 269 homes. However they neglected to allow the extra room required by a lift ascending over twice as far.

This news comes as a further embarrassing blunder for the architects and construction team – following countless problems experienced during the project.

The project suffered its first setback in 2009, when the construction company involved went into liquidation. Later, an elevator fell with 13 people trapped inside and ambulances were unable to reach the site because vehicle access had been removed to save costs.

In 2008, the architects described the project on its company website as “a symbol of a new architectural philosophy”. The company said: “its features of comfort, design and elegance set a standard for the future of architecture and the city of Benidorm”.

“A majestic building, that will mark a before and after in architecture and town-planning in Spain,” said the architects.

The architects have since resigned from the project. The Intempo Tower is due for completion in December 2013, although it remains unclear how the missing elevator will be resolved.

Asos Headquarters by MoreySmith

British studio MoreySmith delved into the archives of online fashion retailer Asos for textiles patterns to use while refurbishing the brand’s London headquarters (+ slideshow).

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

MoreySmith overhauled interiors as Asos doubled the space it uses at the art deco Greater London House, formerly the Black Cat Cigarette Factory in the north London borough of Camden.

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

The fashion company originally occupied the second and fourth floor in part of the building, but took over the bottom three storeys of the same portion to form a coherent office space. “It was the first time the company has been on adjacent floors, so we wanted to connect them all together visually,” MoreySmith design director Nicola Osborn told Dezeen.

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

A large Asos logo hovers above the reception desk on the ground floor, positioned in front of vertical slats wrapped in material used for the brand’s clothing designs. “The initial brief was to create brand identity as soon as you came into the ground floor,” said Osborn. “The fins are behind the reception are all Asos materials.”

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

A new staircase links the floors the company now takes up, connecting the ground floor reception to a cafe on the first level and a coffee bar on the second to create a central hub.

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

Wooden stair treads are decorated with pictograms, which look like labels added to shipping boxes the company uses to distribute its goods worldwide. Glass-fronted offices and meeting spaces are made semi-translucent by light geometric motifs that also reference fabric designs.

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

Hidden behind the serving area of the cafe, a private dining room doubles as an extra conference space. A mixture of furniture styles populate the employee lounge areas and casual meetings take place in an open environment with booth seating.

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

We filmed a couple of movies with MoreySmith director Linda Morey Smith while she was a judge for the Inside awards 2011. During these interviews she spoke to us about her office designs for drinks brand Red Bull and Sony Music.

Other offices for fashion brands on Dezeen include the OMA-designed G-Star Raw headquarters in Amsterdam and the west London base of Net-A-Porter.

Architectural designers MoreySmith have completed the newly-expanded headquarters for online fashion retailer Asos at Greater London House.

The extensive 100,000-square-foot refurbishment has more than doubled the space Asos currently occupies in the building.

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

MoreySmith’s new design includes a flexible events space, a showcase/press area, fashion-themed meeting rooms, open-plan offices and a tour route for visitors where they can follow the full journey of a garment from inception to completion, showcasing the innovative fashion and technology-led business.

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

New staircases connect three floors at the heart of the office space; including a reception, café, meeting rooms and coffee bar. This central hub brings a dynamic and dramatic impact to the Asos brand identity and gives a creative and welcoming space for more than 1200 people, to collaborate and breakout from the open plan workspace.

ASOS Headquarters by Linda Morey Smith

MoreySmith has created a space which acts as a window to the Asos brand, taking inspiration from Asos’s values and commitment to maintaining a high caliber of employees.

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

“Asos had a very clear vision which was to create the next chapter in the Asos success story, designing a space where people want to be, where they can innovate together and continue to build the story.”

ASOS Headquarters by MoreySmith

Home to a variety of companies, the vast former Black Cat cigarette factory was reinstated in the late 1990s to its original art deco grandeur, an architectural icon to 1930s design. Asos’s expansion reflects the company’s significant growth in the last year, where its active customer base rose 35% to 5.4 million across 160 countries.

Porsche unveils crowd-sourced 911 car designed by Facebook fans

Porsche 911 designed by Facebook Fans

News: German sports car manufacturer Porsche has turned to its 5 million fans on Facebook to crowd source designs for a unique 911 car.

To coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911 – and to celebrate the company reaching 5 million fans on their Facebook page – Porsche launched the 5 Million Car campaign. The project offered its social media community the opportunity to vote on design options for a one-off crowd-sourced car.

Porsche 911 designed by Facebook Fans

Fans were given the options to vote on specifications such as colour, wheels and spoilers. Porsche said that 54,000 fans cast votes via the Facebook page, selecting features such as a blue metallic paint, white 20-inch wheels and Porsche’s “Aerokit Cup” package, consisting of a front apron with additional front spoiler lip.

Porsche unveiled the crowd-sourced car earlier this week and is now running another competition via Facebook, offering its fans the chance to drive it at Silverstone racing track in the UK. Nine runners-up will receive a 1:43 scale model of the car.

Porsche 911 designed by Facebook Fans

Previously when Porsche reached 2 million Facebook fans it celebrated by producing a one-off Cayman S car that featured a portrait of their social media fans on the bodywork.

More than 820,000 Porsche 911s have been built, since it debuted at the IAA International Automotive Show in September 1963. The Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany is celebrating “50 years of the Porsche 911” through to the 29th September 2013, with a special exhibition featuring the history and development of the car.

Last month, installation artist Gerry Judah spoke to Dezeen about his installation for this years Goodwood Festival of Speed that features three Porsche 911s soaring up into the sky like rockets.
