Renault Concept Design
Another Renault concept design just surfaced, and its for the Megane Coup. Although I’m not a big fan of suicide doors, there’s something about this concept rendering that allows the doors to be a lot more subtle. It’s a sporty design that still holds its sleek aesthetics.

Dupli Casa by J. Mayer H. Architects
The Dupli Casa by J. Mayer H. Architects is located in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Via Archdaily:
The geometry of the building is based on the footprint of the house that previously was located on the site. Originally built in 1984 and with many extensions and modifications since then, the new building echoes the “family archaeology” by duplication and rotation. Lifted up, it creates a semi-public space on ground level between two layers of discretion. The skin of the villa performs a sophisticated connection between inside and outside and offers spectacular views onto the old town of Marbach and the German national literature archive on the other side of the Neckar valley.
