Skim Milk: Wanmokku by Torafu Architects

Furnisher — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 07:22:40 +0000

Wanmokku is a minimal design created by Japan-based Torafu Architects . The initial inspiration for the design came from an informal encounter with a Jack Russell Terrier. Through careful observation, the designers noticed that the dog would always come into close proximity to the clothes of the owner – most likely due to the reassuring scent and pleasant touch of the fabric. Torafu decided to take this interesting observation a step further by creating a furniture piece which would use the owner’s old clothes as a foundation for where a dog could play and rest. The elastic nature of the clothes forms a hammock like surface when attached to the frame.

Could You Work Here?

The space above is from the Microsoft Headquarters in Vienna, designed by Innocad Architects. While the entire space is beautiful and modern [you should definitely check it out] this particular room caught my eye.

The floor, the ceiling, the walls – they’re all lined with soft wood! Which obviously I know you can see yourself, but it is just such an interesting look. Since this is the HQ for Microsoft, I’m guessing this space is a conference room or meeting room of some sort, although it could pass for a dining room.

Assuming it is a conference room – the question is: could you work in this room? Even though I love it, I think it would make me dizzy! I think I would prefer it as a gorgeous walk-in closet – how about you??

Outdoor kitchens can be transformed into amazing spaces, as shown by these images above.

Depending on the climate in which you live, these spaces can certainly get more use than an indoor kitchen! Either way, if you’re a big outdoor entertainer, I think it’s definitely worth having an abundant outdoor kitchen.

What do you think – are you a fan of outdoor kitchens or do you find them unnecessary?
