Analysis of traditional built forms, usage patterns and development codes led to a strategy of providing a contemporary interpretation of the ever-decreasing volumes often evident in ad hoc additions of kitchens, laundries and outside toilets that were often made to these original structures.</em></p> <p><em>Moving away from traditional usage patterns, the public penetration of the private realm has progressed from the compartmentalised formal front rooms to the more relaxed and inclusive realm at the back of the property. The area closest to the entry now becomes the bedroom precinct and the back is a fragmented indoor/outdoor public space bounded by the allotment fencing. Access is via a central corridor that extends through the house right back to the rear gate.</em></p> <p><em>With local design guidelines requiring pitched roof forms the new architecture grew out of the recognizable triangular shapes traditionally associated with hipped roofs. The building also acts as a protective screen creating a privacy hood blocking the views into the garden from the neighbouring house. As the scale and dimension of the addition reduces towards the back gate the external landscape is amplified and spliced into the informal semi-internal spaces.</em></p> <p><em>The folding forms create a canopy that provides shading in summer and allows the northern sun to penetrate into the space for passive heating in winter. The addition breathes new life into old under-used home with 95% of the existing building fabric retained. The roof design increases the rainwater harvesting capacity and the skylights foster a reliance on natural daylighting. The spaces are naturally ventilated and the roof has high performance insulation to minimise heat gain. The landscape concept includes a deck area and large native garden eliminating the need for lawn.</em></p> <p></p> <p><em><span>Photos by </span><a href="http://www.gollings.com.au/" target="_blank">John Gollings</a>, <a href="http://www.innovarchi.com/" target="_blank">Innovarchi website.</a></em></p> Tasteful Twin Peaks House in Melbourne tag:waveavenue.com,2013-01-15:6325327:BlogPost:73203 2013-01-15T01:00:00.000Z rd http://waveavenue.com/profile/rd <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/twin-peaks-house-by-jackson-clements-burrows" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/*rKUJZn5miN1UC8PruY31NEMSFx9Al3jMSKI94wRRUGgXMM2QTIZBhcngeXGzWPlbn95Ar-R6v5Tb5WXSBeBOUPM-fbZmF7S/twinpeakshousebyjacksonclementsburrows1.jpg?width=750" width="750"></img></a></p> <p>Australian studio <a href="http://www.jcba.com.au/" target="_blank">Jackson Clements Burrows</a> designed the <a href="http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/twin-peaks-house-by-jackson-clements-burrows" target="_self">Twin Peaks house</a>.

The proposal included 3 new bedrooms and activity space to the new first floor at the rear and a large family /kitchen area directly below. The existing house included a new master bedroom / ensuite, study and the maintenance of the original grand dining room and lounge areas.</em></p> <p><br/> <em>The idea of the house was organised around finding a compatible but distinctive relationship between the existing interior and the new addition and the existing external form and the new addition. This was achieved through the use of a common materiality contrasting black brick for the new against red brick in the old. The pitched external roof forms, a requirement of stringent Heritage guidelines, were expressed as “twin peaked” gable ends that aligned directly with the with the double valley hip roof of the existing house. The external timber clad rainscreen is defined as a one third proportion that aligns directly with the existing slate tiled roof of the existing house. While compatible in terms of proportion and alignment the reductive abstraction of the new exterior and interior, suggests a new relationship to both the immediate garden and the greater surrounding context.</em></p> <p><br/> <em>Internally the new addition uses white painted timber lining boards and exposed internal black work to define a new family living space. The use of materials normally associated with the exterior of a Heritage house suggests an inversion of our normal reading of an interior that is both surprising and yet reassuring in terms of its familiarity.</em></p> <p></p> <p><em>Photos by <a href="http://www.shannonmcgrath.com/display.asp?entityid=617" target="_blank">Shannon McGrath</a>, <a href="http://www.jcba.com.au/" target="_blank">Jackson Clements Burrows website.</a></em></p> Sleek Shaker Heights House tag:waveavenue.com,2013-01-14:6325327:BlogPost:73204 2013-01-14T02:00:00.000Z rd http://waveavenue.com/profile/rd <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/shaker-heights-house" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/icLuQfMtpf23oWGMeXDe6T3gwkx9dLbTj3ajJaBTZYVBPq36fkSCX3H0kTnR59E795aOceq7b25W*dcv8fswgHgxRC5mGgiq/shakerheightshousebydimitarchitects2.jpg?width=750" width="750"></img></a></p> <p>Ohio-based studio <a href="http://www.dimitarchitects.com/" target="_blank">Dimit Architects</a> designed the <a href="http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/shaker-heights-house" target="_self">Shaker Heights House</a>.

leafy Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights, Ohio. The house plan is arranged as two basic wings--- one is more public in function with living, dining, and entertaining spaces--- the other is more private, providing bedrooms, home office, exercise room, and support spaces. The two wings meet at the heart of the house- an expansive open kitchen, with views to a protected rear courtyard with swimming and reflecting pools.</em></p> <p></p> <p><em>The various rectilinear masses of the house will be clad in either a light cast stone veneer or with ipe wood slats arranged over a rain-screen membrane. Generous walk-out roof decks, also surfaced with ipe wood slats, provide extensions for each of the second floor bedroom spaces, while the remaining flat roof surfaces will be planted with green prairie grasses. Construction by Pistone and Tesauro Builders of Chagrin Falls is near completion, with exterior detailing and landscaping scheduled to be finalized by the early summer of 2012.</em></p> <p></p> <p><em>Photos by Feinknopf Photography, <a href="http://www.dimitarchitects.com/" target="_blank">Dimit Architects website.</a></em></p> Picturesque Waterfall Bay House tag:waveavenue.com,2013-01-12:6325327:BlogPost:72967 2013-01-12T02:00:00.000Z rd http://waveavenue.com/profile/rd <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/HJW-MPExNiBImWohCC60OYZFZK731zqGA6-wr1kN7XX2dLL*P8tk1X6gU60eet*vWlYkQK*fC7W6TYCsKO7zi9GtNYPRGqI4/WaterfallBayHousebyBossleyArchitects4.jpg?width=650" width="650"></img></a></p> <p>Auckland based studio <a href="http://www.bossleyarchitects.co.nz" target="_blank">Bossley Architects</a> design the <a href="http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/pete-bossley-architects-waterfall-bay-house" target="_self">Waterfall Bay House</a>.

the park, these houses result in several different combinations of the same three modules (entrance/bathing - living - sleeping) creating different morphologies and different dialogues with the surrounding nature, wisely occupying the empty spaces between the trunks of large trees and, at the same time, allowing each home to be unique, special and worth visiting.</em></p> <p><br/> <em>The pitched roofs that characterize the intervention redefine the contours of the park boundary and result, within the houses in comfortable but dynamic spaces. </em><br/> <em>The vain corner contradicts the structural logic of the house but creates the ilusion that the park is inside the house framing living nature pictures. </em></p> <p><br/> <em>The outer coating in slate tile refers to the local construction traditions and the slatted wood used when there is a balcony creates the perfect resting spaces.</em></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img

The long face, just three feet from the property line, opens up to natural light but maintains privacy while the ends of the house open up to small private landscapes. The house was designed to easily integrate a solar hot water system, photovoltaics and a green roof. During demolition of the previous home, framing was salvaged and milled into Douglas Fir siding by the architect, revealing an on-site history through aged, black nail holes and wood patina. A rigorous plan, reserved detail, and a palette of rough materials and clean lines combine to create an adventurous yet highly livable home on a modest budget. </em></p> <p></p> <p><em><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/ChJuEn9v8W66aEc1iqc3*hm6rGPBn3LBApf3-h40CwsklgBS8rIvAxtDT6B*K74PBPIATxmIVo8CIXudCyNzgSdsGvT-sw6k/PushPullResidencebyMWWorks2.jpg?width=500" width="500" class="align-center"/></a></em></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/EYxXj*M*F4Wao7cnPpw8BwyaHIjWh89v9*E*XWhWPRfUF3vI78DKMiA0eDQ2hYX5M-DV1QZyIAKdVvMKFkQQE*j-15Yo6x8P/PushPullResidencebyMWWorks3.jpg?width=650" width="650" class="align-center"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/C0B*o5iQ4q2zUXDLfrdPQWbsjhh4OordXx9L0z1oZ*vHretX5n0ytJhITVGH6DSAL8Z7j6hHXf7FNXTBM37LUO-E4uAeb-4t/PushPullResidencebyMWWorks4.jpg?width=400" width="400" class="align-center"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/08m9GB7LUVym-1pb-8Xm9AC8MuvxWz8wd1*A4MYgxR7DeuZoVa*Awgh7tNH72PZVL0Scp4w7XoONEJSy1fW24Qn*uXy5Tj-1/PushPullResidencebyMWWorks5.jpg?width=400" width="400" class="align-center"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/4N5a0EtRuQjRng*dtR8pPvp1JZGaB1aohtAKW2SJBLarHTqPQU8L*dbK7LoBoarbd94rIVepg7Ds38cdV5IR5G9TaJZPg1s*/PushPullResidencebyMWWorks6.jpg?width=650" width="650" class="align-center"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/RDva4E4lpXuDuP0S9DuhpVOTrTkRWOtHsv2DezsY5ZTgCIdCmT4Q0gxjKo*85w4tRsJ-vLy-iyJJI-Kt7I0pVfj9mNjJiyZL/PushPullResidencebyMWWorks7.jpg?width=400" width="400" class="align-center"/></a></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/IOX7X0jDkAztTCA0IAsAGB6m1ybwmLaKCosjQmd4MGFh5mVK3EcQECXkdf9G*3tK3ZUs*U42juhR-KmGmjWD8m5gos7bmGA5/PushPullResidencebyMWWorks8.jpg" width="531" class="align-center"/></a></p> <p><em>Photos by <span>Tim Bies, </span><a href="http://www.mwworks.com" target="_blank">MW Works website.</a></em></p> <p></p> Impeccable House in Yamasaki by Tato Architects tag:waveavenue.com,2013-01-03:6325327:BlogPost:72584 2013-01-03T02:00:00.000Z rd http://waveavenue.com/profile/rd <p><span style="color: #888888;"><i><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><span style="color: #888888;"><img class="align-full" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/BpRjRfeT0xE9HvVPFT1PWEtf9mpSNlETDR972jO2DpLw8og33A8zfsOm9gT*kyOjlIX605Vfusi4EjxPNpjoUZKk2zLYAda8/HouseinYamasakibyTatoArchitects13.jpg?width=650" width="650"></img></span></a></i> <span style="color: #000000;">Japan based studio <a href="http://tat-o.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">Tato Architects</span></a> designed the House in Yamasaki, Hyogo in Japan that was completed in 2012.</span></span><br></br> <span style="color: #000000;"><i><br></br></i></span></p> <p><em><span style="color: #000000;">Description by …</span></em></p> <p><span style="color: #888888;"><i><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><span style="color: #888888;"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/BpRjRfeT0xE9HvVPFT1PWEtf9mpSNlETDR972jO2DpLw8og33A8zfsOm9gT*kyOjlIX605Vfusi4EjxPNpjoUZKk2zLYAda8/HouseinYamasakibyTatoArchitects13.jpg?width=650" width="650" class="align-full"/></span></a></i><span style="color: #000000;">Japan based studio <a href="http://tat-o.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">Tato Architects</span></a> designed the House in Yamasaki, Hyogo in Japan that was completed in 2012.</span></span><br/> <span style="color: #000000;"><i><br/></i></span></p> <p><em><span style="color: #000000;">Description by <a href="http://tat-o.com/" target="_blank">Tato Architects</a>:</span></em></p> <div><p align="justify"><em><span style="color: #000000;">This is a house in the northern part of Hyogo Prefecture for a couple and their two children.

<em>The level of the first floor was lowered by 760 mm below the ground to get firm basement, as the site was slant before the development, and to get more stable performance of the floor heating system of foundation heat condensing type utilizing the terrestrial heat. It was also expected that the whole site could be used like a garden as the rooftop neared the ground thereby.

the three sheds to take in solar radiation. Moisture and water absorbing and heat-retaining sheets of greenhouse use are inserted in between the corrugated panels and structure. The inside of the walls are formed with heat insulating layer of polycarbonate clear hollow sheet. The ceiling and walls of bathroom are further filled up with light transmitting thermal insulation material of reproduced PET bottles.</span></em><br/><br/><em><span>To bring the second floor close to the first floor 50 mm square pipes are laid around the opening connecting both floors. They are sandwiched by the flooring material and the ceiling material to come up to 80 mm thickness. This opening is to be closed with a shade during extremely hot hours in summer and extremely cold nights in winter.</span></em><br/><br/><em><span>The outer walls of a foundation platform are covered with fiber reinforced cement board leaving space a little to make rainwater drops easily off the edges and also to provide shading. The RC part is provided with external heat insulation and broken cobblestones are laid all around it for drainage of rainwater and heat insulation.</span></em></div> Folded Extension of a 19th Century

The structure looks calmly to the Mediterranean Sea.</em></p> <p></p> <p><em>The house has a pool and a garden in the basement.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><em>Given the steep slope of the plot and the will to develop housing on one level. We opted for a three-dimensional displays and concrete slabs that adapts to the topography making the minimum armed topography suits doing the minimum possible earthwork. This monolithic structure anchored to the rock creates a horizontal platform, the dimension of access from the street, where the home is located. The pool area is a lower bound on a flat area exists on the lot. The concrete structure is thermally insulated on the outside with a smooth plaster of lime, white flexible and finish. The other materials, walls, pavements, gravel cover maintain the same color emphasizing the unitary character.</em></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com/" target="_self"><img

Why not try something playful? In Paris, <a href="http://www.zundelcristea.com/projects/?lang=en#/culture-sport/pont.html?lang=en">AZC</a> Architecture Studio designed an inflatable bridge built with giant trampolines.

Have fun! ♥</span></p> <p><span><br/> The <a href="http://www.zundelcristea.com/projects/?lang=en#/culture-sport/pont.html?lang=en" target="_blank">AZC Architecture Studio</a> says:</span></p> <blockquote><p><span>The competition brief, A Bridge in Paris, allows us to locate an architectural reflection within this same realm of contemporary urban enjoyment. It appears to us that Paris has enough bridges. Our intention is to invite its visitors and inhabitants to engage on a newer and more playful path across this same water. We propose an inflatable bridge equipped with giant trampolines, dedicated to the joyful release from gravity as one bounces above the river. Installed near the Bir-Hakeim Bridge, it is formed of inflatable modules, like giant life-preservers, 30 meters in diameter. In the central part of each ring, a trampoline mesh is stretched. The floating buoys, fabricated in PVC membrane, are attached together by cord to form a stable and self-supporting ensemble. Each module under tension - filled with 3700 cubic meters of air - develops in space with an arch-like form.</span></p> </blockquote> <p><span> </span></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com/" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/Zba2SkFJ6RN*yA-LSdV1XLGfkCDoOtMdgf73XjpI7i8VB1QS9xWtVQauvpd6EJetYewvZFQAo9RhvD6t4o4L-kpGJSE-dUTP/PlayfulInflatableandTrampolineBridgeinParis3.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com/" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/Qpm74rsDFcmB9yPgUu9cxrddR72NvUI4WNQvnHc9SOZUlHK6V8IIxFIEaq9ZRwd1rkb068CLu*qjn*gLnMZOCVUWZmMBGhbk/PlayfulInflatableandTrampolineBridgeinParis4.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com/" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/bZ*TStdcGM38hz2oGHvAHvLc3rRuWT2*2weNYVwP0na1ZMhn0-Ub-Pp-5H2jDY038XnU9ExZSZ8ftUuprTi5fYiomeTb4fyk/PlayfulInflatableandTrampolineBridgeinParis.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com/" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/at4shVKd3jo37JpP8cRESZYiEwz-Tgtof3TiuH2Tp0TEUxU6pDWH5xJehkEDA0IkB72pw*EEBcP2N1kN7U9sfIzCbSV-SeLJ/PlayfulInflatableandTrampolineBridgeinParis5.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com/" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/p3vDIsrN7TrXWbo-zjaerCf1drxSgqSjRIdwdlVnKHZ38gonXZsMK5fjsuaMv5NUKt2pL5oKiaG17C6LFY6MtCsVbotRFmfE/PlayfulInflatableandTrampolineBridgeinParis6.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></p> <p> </p> <p>[via <a href="http://www.likecool.com/A_Bridge_in_Paris__Trampoline_bridge--Design--Gear.html" target="_blank">likecool</a>]</p> Splendid Modern Mansion in Tyrolia Austria tag:waveavenue.com,2012-12-21:6325327:BlogPost:72050 2012-12-21T01:00:00.000Z rd http://waveavenue.com/profile/rd <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/eO0B-zxQPLfON5YkALf9426xWJhc1aUwQ*UFjRH15Go7tToOSLiNNrMEXLkDQynHuHLw-8LO88gkeaSRQlMhuc5l6*TZ9hgb/cozymodernhomekitzbuehelmansiontyroliaaustria1.jpg?width=600" width="600"></img></a></p> <p>Hamburg based studio <a href="http://www.splendid-architecture.com" target="_blank">Splendid Architecture</a> designed the <a href="http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/kitzbuehel-mansion-tyrolia-austria" target="_self">Kitzbuehel Mansion</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrol_(state)" target="_blank">Tyrolia Austria</a>.

It is the ultimate dream for generations of skateboarders who wanted to bring their practice into their home. In the practice of Architecture, it also represents a groundbreaking in the construction of a non Euclidian geometrical space with a continuous surface that creates a new experience of the domestic space, more fluid and dynamic and reflecting of our 21st century lifestyle. A model of the project and a full scale prototype of the Living area was presented in Paris for the exhibition Public Domaine/Skateboard Culture at la Gaite Lyrique, a New museum directed by the City of Paris. For the 25th birthday celebration of Etnies, their team of pro skaters did a demo session in the prototype.</em></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/MUFx3cP8NvsnLXlh3txWSZsPLmQekg1s9Kc5yXe-3XAFyinufDQyP-mPn1no7t5FTwv6Laz-3dvqkWufXBHLltO17yeF9zxI/SkateboardHousebyPAS11.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/3AUW0abOoehA9fGfZ6Z3ETCbGN43m*9OyXuzqZ3hy1Kig6V1vAt1KRQkm0T-BokmUXwkovQg4tPmOZVjQfWIBLH61hmhNcJ7/SkateboardHousebyPAS9.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/N6DRPUZDqsPZYVh3HQeDnTlmrb6sZyhHrQ3Gdz-DMuQb1GYLQnyeA7ndYFF9iAg8q*LbxSDCJ409nGIl7hLHLbZihEZCRlF*/SkateboardHousebyPAS10.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></p> <p><em><a href="http://francoisperrin.com/" target="_blank">Air Architecture website.</a></em></p> <p></p> Uniquely-shaped Abalone House in California tag:waveavenue.com,2012-12-13:6325327:BlogPost:71655 2012-12-13T01:00:00.000Z rd http://waveavenue.com/profile/rd <p><span><a href="http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/abalone-house-by-thomas-cowen" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/KnFpUZeKLtE9Mj1tBc*hWOQ-Ffy6E3EFhO4ai0B9DpKxejkBY-OfYNKdqdji2i1hDjxBv6dvK2uSnTJsdXUT7inv8vmytsqq/AbaloneHousebyRanaCreek1.jpg?width=600" width="600"></img></a></span></p> <p><span>Architect <a href="http://www.ranacreekdesign.com" target="_blank">Thomas Cowen</a> designed the Abalone House, a <em>contemporary beach house</em> project in collaboration with <a href="http://www.ranacreekdesign.com" target="_blank">Rana Creek</a> who designed its living roof. </span>Remotely located by the mountains of Big Sur, California, this home is…</p> <p><span><a href="http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/abalone-house-by-thomas-cowen" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/KnFpUZeKLtE9Mj1tBc*hWOQ-Ffy6E3EFhO4ai0B9DpKxejkBY-OfYNKdqdji2i1hDjxBv6dvK2uSnTJsdXUT7inv8vmytsqq/AbaloneHousebyRanaCreek1.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></span></p> <p><span>Architect <a href="http://www.ranacreekdesign.com" target="_blank">Thomas Cowen</a> designed the Abalone House, a <em>contemporary beach house</em> project in collaboration with <a href="http://www.ranacreekdesign.com" target="_blank">Rana Creek</a> who designed its living roof. </span>Remotely located by the mountains of Big Sur, California, this home is gifted with fantastic views of the sea. </p> <p> </p> <div class="box"><span class="bold"><a href="http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/abalone-house-by-thomas-cowen" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/6dRGUjTYCleF14eLKwTgs1*2LcJGx*JIRV*8-3xTJT*isjiKUHAelm1p-WHAyDwOm7pP6SBJZMn2AVOpbgMRIQKdIHBoMuvu/AbaloneHousebyRanaCreek4.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></span></div> <div class="box"><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/U2AANUtPtprSugXr8Tr2sJ0BDrcXrYw655vel6cKl2y4rAVmZAvmTnqUd7rUnE3WTTCV6LBaeD1BwTyxMAF0WIqiqTMluH04/AbaloneHousebyRanaCreek3.jpg" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></div> <div class="box"><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/N6DRPUZDqsNnKaBk-HVEhaabuOIn*3fYW3I7XwyBKe8dktblRiHyzSw2BClgw2MynccirLgHkn9SGsN1LE7f60KKtD9N6OP1/AbaloneHousebyRanaCreek2.jpg" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></div> <div class="box"><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/t5Ez1bC0evkpSbZdFU6-CFreyOqbaNKRP7ioH8oKjUE7WSLwLeV3dkpejBjEKi8ar4mS2NvHlnjLTcApQQ--XvXv-lRUsR3R/AbaloneHousebyRanaCreek5.jpg" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></div> <div class="box"><em><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/U2AANUtPtpq0lbwI-93w-l4fqKuQHyOA-y6cA5PqVe3PoctNy1hO3qTwzUXbbEYDsZNimIZV1wIxyQazOovOwn4F32-N-Ezo/AbaloneHousebyRanaCreek6.jpg?width=600" width="600" class="align-full"/></a></em></div> <div class="box"><em><a href="http://www.ranacreekdesign.com" target="_blank">Rana Creek Design</a></em></div> Delightful Balloon Supported Bridge tag:waveavenue.com,2012-12-11:6325327:BlogPost:71704 2012-12-11T23:00:00.000Z rd http://waveavenue.com/profile/rd <p><a href="http://waveavenue.com" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/Nk8wBS90MPD1SuiWe5150QO2Oel1fF4GPtNPxVWj6gxUypFUYGJrrLpWYlUdSn2JV*dkuUq7Tg*jr91-WooGjRCUfBNO-Hw5/DelightfulBalloonSupportedBridge3.jpg?width=600" width="600"></img></a></p> <p>As if coming straight from a fairytale this hellium-filled <em>balloon supported bridge</em> by <a href="http://www.toxel.com/inspiration/2012/11/15/glass-wave/" target="_blank">French</a> artist <a href="http://www.tattonparkbiennial.org/detail/4369/" target="_blank">Olivier Grossetete</a> has amused many.
