When you’re tired of picking coats off the floor, rickety wall hooks that fall out of the plaster, throwing guests coats on the bed, or you haven’t seen your staircase newel post for several months (years), it’s time for an upgrade. When hats, scarves, gloves and bags never find a permanent home, and when shoes plot against you and your clear journey toward the front door, it is time to take control....
Here are a set of 5 beautiful videos that just might give you a clue as to what outlandish ideas architects push to their clients these days. Today, as more and more of them are given the license to try out ‘something-that-has-never-been-done-before’, the concepts are now getting bolder than ever. Though these ideas may be limited to public structures like stadiums and pavilions currently, these are a taste of things to come....
Some people might argue that standard clocks are becoming obsolete. After all, everywhere you turn there is a cell phone or computer screen that clearly displays an accurate time – and you don’t have to wind it or remember daylight savings. But clocks are not purely about functionality. Both timepieces and wall clocks can serve a tremendous style function. You need to look no further than the grandfather clock that used to sit in your front hallway as a child....

While bedrooms are the perfect place to experiment with color palettes and decor choices that might seem too bold for the social areas of a home, these bedrooms take a more practical approach. Dark themes help to center the mind, creating an atmosphere of relaxation to help lull the resident to sleep each night. But not only are dark themed bedrooms practical, they are a great candidate for sophisticated design themes – restrained color palettes show a sense of discipline and targeted attention difficult to achieve with a more whimsical or playful approach....

And still others are like this lovely space from the architects at Valentirov . A careful balance between color and neutral, between simplicity and practical style. It makes it easy to see how a family could live comfortably and stylishly....
‘Casa Lee’ has been somewhat unflatteringly described as a ‘concrete mass.’ Equally, one could compare it to a concrete blockhouse reminiscent of the Second Boer War. Regardless, its angular, if not imposing Brutalist style, may not find favor with its most vocal critic, Charles, Prince of Wales, but it is an aesthetic that has resonated with the likes of prolific 20th Century architects, Joseph Eichler and Frank Lloyd Wright. The fortress of an exterior is transformed by retractable glass walls that open the structure to absorb its Brazilian surroundings and inset wood cladding beyond the vast open plan living space, marks a shift in ambience from that which is social to that which is more intimate, as it continues through the four bedrooms and perhaps, not surprisingly, inhabits the sauna....

Instead of succumbing to a lifestyle that is cramped and uncomfortable, Ori Systems has come up with a much better idea....
Willis Tower, formerly named Sears Tower, is a 108-story 1,450 feet (442 m) skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois. This tallest skyscraper in the United States has four glass box viewing platforms. These balconies are suspended 1,353 feet (412 m) in the air on the 103rd floor.

Skidmore, Owings and Merrill , the architecture firm that designed the tower, also designed this balcony....

Using a natural filtering principle called phyto-purification, the bathroom becomes a mini-eco-system by recycling and regenerating the wastewater. During its filtering process, the water goes through different steps : - The rushes are planted in sand which filters larger particles. The root system of the rushes contain various bacterias which break down these particles for absorption by the plant. - The reeds are planted next to the rushes as they have the ability to filter the heavy metals from the water....
