Ferrari World Abu Dhabi in 2010
Finally, a theme park for gearheads, albeit with a 215-foot Ferrari logo on the roof. Fittingly, it also happens to be constructed in an area that will soon surpass Las Vegas in terms of excess, Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Adjacent to Yas’ opulent marina, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi will be, at 200,000 square feet, the world’s largest indoor theme park. The park will be created by the heralded design firm Benoy, who cite the classic double curve of the Ferrari GT as their primary inspiration for the mindblowing design. The centerpiece of the 20-odd rides will be the world’s fastest rollercoaster (simulating an F1 car and reaching speeds of over 200kph), but the park will also feature shopping and other hospitality options. Thankfully, you do have time to save for those pricey tickets to the UAE; the grand opening is slated for mid-2010.

The ear phones themselves sport a circular shape reminiscent of a vinyl record. The hinge arm mimics the turntable arm while allowing the Pick-Up to collapse for improved portability.

Riverhouse Niagara by ZERAFA STUDIO
ZERAFA STUDIO designed the Riverhouse Niagra, a striking modern home located on the banks of the river bearing the same name in Niagra Falls, Ontario. Two stacked rectangular volumes comprise 4700 square feet of interior living space and 1200 square feet of outdoor terrace space.
Thoughtfully designed exterior lighting highlights the varied textures of the materials adorning the home. These include rough-cut limestone, metal panels, and cedar cladding. A lap pool lies adjacent to the rear deck and a covered patio created by a cantilevered upper volume.
Floor to ceiling glass runs the length of the home, creating an open, transparent atmosphere inside. Sprawling, uncluttered public living spaces occupy the lower floors while bedrooms reside upstairs.
