Human Nature - Photos & Ideas

design: Studio TOOP, 2013 location: Rotterdam, NL status: built in 2014, Weldam Groenprojecten photo: Hans Clauzing, 2014 Our good friend Gerda is an avid photographer with a special interest in nature photography and butterflies. She also suffers from a lung disease that sometimes leaves her less mobile and able to head out to pursue this passion. A garden to take pictures in, even when you're not up to heading further out into the world. That was the main goal of this garden. With limited means and the use of affordable materials we created a wheel chair friendly garden that offers ample space for both human and wild life.

Portola Valley Residence and Pavilion

Tobin Dougherty Architects

The Portola Valley Residence and Pavilion is a composition of staggered and interlocking rectangular spaces that cling to the slope as it gradually wraps around the hillside. As the interior floor level slowly steps down, echoing the natural grade, it increases the floor-to-ceiling height, flooding the space with expanded views and abundant natural light. Carefully defined interior spaces with plaster and stone veneer walls offer a fitting backdrop for the owner's dramatic art collection. The home’s terraced roof design and careful selection of natural materials equally complement its human and natural environments.  In a stylistic departure from the main house, the 750 sf guest pavilion combines three small geometric elements to form a pleasant guest, entertainment space . . . and yard sculpture.

PlantIt

User

PlantIt is a piece of furniture that creates awareness of our dependency on plants. I wanted to force plants into people’s home, by making them the vital part of the construction of the piece and therefore a necessity. The plant is necessary in order to hold the construction together and make it functional. Humans need plants in the same way – to make us function. Without them, we would not have oxygen to breathe. In a world that is slowly filling up with man-made materials, PlantIt ensures that we still have nature close at hand. Pictures by Stefan Wessel

Evolution Relax Armchair in Backyard

Lafuma Mobilier

This is the must in terms of relaxation. This relax Lafuma has been designed to offer the ideal relaxation position in a foldable armchair format. Its design was accompanied by the medical profession. The essential principle? A positioning of the legs slightly above the level of the heart for an optimized rest. This position corresponds to that which the human body takes naturally in weightlessness, thus confirming the validity of this principle. A must to relax under the veranda or in the shade, in the garden.
