You know my number...

This brilliant sollution for incorporating the numbers in the facade is just fantastic! A multi-family residence by Mitsutomo Matsunami Architect&Associates is a proof of being creative and
transforming the simplest thing as a house number into something more graphic, more conceptual.

So which number you prefer?

Who ate all those eggs...

Well, happy easter and lots of eastern eggs, chocolate bunnies and other festive delices...
And lots of fun with your close ones...And for the end of this festive weekend I give you a little story for good night...

Was the bunny who had eastern eggs?

Was it too much to handle?

Little bird told me...

But where is she?

Did she flew away?

Or maybe fell from the nest?

No, she came back rattling from a trip..

The eggs must have been stolen...

Oh no...

hmmm...she looks guilty...

Or she... she took the bunnies tale..

She will never look the same..

But the little bird still knows something...

But she won`t tell...

That the easter bunny is not what it looks like..

It is the pinguin who deliver those eggs...

And in this eggs there is a little present for each of us...

Oh no...Who ate the last one?

...???...to be continued...

After vacation spitrit...

Jameos del Agua-one of creations by Cesar Manrique

Oooohhh, back from Spain...back from Canary island...just loved the leisure and new culture..Allthough I must admit I expected more of Spanish culture around there and not English breakfast or Krauter und wurstel.. Maybe they should be more unique and stick by their culture, because it is magnificent.

National park Timanfaya

One of the vulcans in Timanfaya

Well the island is half turist loaded, with beautiful palms, cactus sights and of course beautiful beaches and sun, sun, sun...and also wind, of course. The other half is mainly rock-which was really a surprise for me.I didn`t know that the vulcans did all that damage on the island. But if I look on the other hand, the vulcans also created vast irresistable landscape-almost out of space landscape. It is unique experience when all you see on the road is black stones and solid lava everywhere.

I loved to explore this little Island, saw amazing architecture-which was not part of massive turist appartments and houses and also magicly found tipical Canary and Spanish food-tapas.
So, I hardly wait for the next advanture, which will be....hmmm...just let me get surprised...

Milano vs. Canary Island

This year I was determined to go to Milan fair-which is almoust like must have and must be in designer`s world. As to say-if you are not there, you are nobody...

The history shows that a lot of things come to life because of the fairs. The tehnology, new inventions, new ideas...cities became the epicentre of progress. Paris, London, Milano... And it is always good to see most briliant ideas come alive.

Designers who will definitely be in Milan fair 2011:

Marcel Wanders hero pin

The poster for tile creation from Zaha Hadid...can`t wait to see it...

brilliant book-head by Karim Rashid

But this year on the same date as the fair I got my birthday gift- a plane ticket to Canary island-Lanzarote. Though my determination to go to Milan was tremendous, of course once I got to know where I`ll be in April, I canceled all my (well they were still just in my head) plans and just say yes...to leisure, hot sun and salty water...

Lanzarote’s new Palacio de Congresos by Henning Larsen Architects

Soo, with no regrets and huuuuge expectations I just can`t wait to step on this hot and beautifull island. The thrill of a new city, new island, new discovery and new advantures are again ahead of me...
