“Compelling.” That’s how one of our judges characterized this stair, which manages to embody both reassuring solidity and airy weightlessness. Architect Mahdad Saniee specified beefy maple treads—each laminated from two boards, to resist twisting and cupping—and supported them at the wall with hidden steel hangers. “We wanted to make them look like they are floating,” he says, “so they sit away from the wall by about half an inch.” The stainless steel rods that seem to pierce the treads’ opposite ends are, in fact, joined by threaded couplings hidden within the thickness of the wood. The result is an assembly whose stiffness underfoot defies expectation, Saniee says. “It feels very solid, much more solid than average stairs.” With the rods working in tension from above and compression below, “it’s very hard for those pieces of wood to move.”
The interplay of wood and steel makes abstract reference to a Steinway concert grand, Saniee notes. “It’s taking elements of a piano and playing with them.” A gently curved soffit in the ceiling reinforces the visual rhyme. The jury admired the effect but was equally impressed with the technical acumen required to achieve it. “The rhythm established by the vertical rods sets up a rigorous discipline that works with the intricacies of stair dimensions,” observed one judge. “That’s really hard to do.”

Love a warm floor that is comfortable to walk on, but think carpet is the only option? Or are you in search of an alternative to carpet without losing a soft warm floor beneath your feet. Look to cork then for the answer. The thermal insulating properties of cork makes it one of the best natural insulators. So a cork floor surface acts like a carpeted surface, by being warm to the touch, just without the coarse hairs. Because of this capability you can still run around on bare feet, even on cold winter mornings. Because cork is not the same as its hardwood cousins, you get a material that has a certain amount of give to it. Like memory foam, cork is made up of a cellular structure that incorporates millions upon millions of airtight cells. These cells give cork the ability to compress under pressure and regain its shape. So you get a softer surface to walk upon that will actually provide support for your feet and back. Ideal for the kitchen or home gym

Located above the coast of Malibu, this two-story concrete and glass home is organized into a series of bands that hug the hillside and a central circulation spine. Living spaces are compressed between the retaining walls that hold back the earth and a series of glass facades facing the ocean and Santa Monica Bay. The name of the project stems from the physical and psychological protection provided by wearing reflective sunglasses. On the house the “glasses” allow for panoramic views of the ocean while also reflecting the landscape back onto the exterior face of the building.

The Playground sofa is created to satisfy the need for combining sofa and bed.
Our idea with the Playground sofa is to offer a multi-purpose piece of furniture that is both flexible and mobile. Playground meets these requirements.
Placed as back support you then have the perfect sofa where you sit comfortably in all positions and on all seats. Place it as arm support and you have a comfortable chaise long. Place it on the floor and you can make a 'nest' where you can enjoy watching TV or reading. Solid-wood frame with Nozag-spring seat-base, covered with polyurethane foam in a 600 g pre-compressed, fibre-fill wrap. The free movable backs consists of 100% foam. Back cushion filling is 100% down and small duck feathers sewn into a ribbed, feather-proof cambric casing. To retain the feather cushion’s appearance and shape, regular fluffing-up and airing are recommended. The Playground Sofa is available with fabric or leather upholstery.
Dimensions: 83" L x 45" W x 35" H - seat height 15" In Stock Sample Sale in our Showroom at 820 Manhattan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222

Zola Windows now offers its PanoramicView Lift & Slide with greater design flexibility, slimmer frames and improved airtightness for high-performance building envelopes. The fixed glass portion is completely frameless, offering a sleek profile to enhance the minimalist look. The operable sliding sash now has a sash width of only 3.5” but can carry an enormous, 8’ high by 10’ wide panel of glass, offering maximized views using wide uninterrupted expanses of glass.
Adding to the versatility of wide expanse glass with minimized interruption at corners, the PanoramicView Lift & Slide has a superior visible light transmittance of 71%. For improved energy performance, U=0.07 glazing is available for this system. R-11 triple glazing is standard, dual glazing (Classic Clad, R-5) and quad glazing (R-15) is also available. Airtightness has also been upgraded by incorporating a quadruple compression seal along sides and head of the sliding sash, offering Passive House level air sealing and gasket design. The hardware and track system is fully concealed, and the flush threshold is ADA compatible while being air, snow and watertight.

The open space plan on the main level of the Prairie Style home is deceiving of the actual separation of spaces. This home packs a punch with a private hot tub, craft room, library, and even a theater. The interior of the home features the same attention to place, as the natural world is evident in the use of granite, basalt, walnut, poplar, and natural river rock throughout. Floor to ceiling windows in strategic locations eliminates the sense of compression on the interior, while the overall window design promotes natural daylighting and cross-ventilation in nearly every space of the home.
Glo’s A5 Series in double pane was selected for the high performance values and clean, minimal frame profiles. High performance spacers, double pane glass, multiple air seals, and a larger continuous thermal break combine to reduce convection and eliminate condensation, ultimately providing energy efficiency and thermal performance unheard of in traditional aluminum windows. The A5 Series provides smooth operation and long-lasting durability without sacrificing style for this Prairie Style home.
