The Divin Collection by Vincent Cadena
The Divin Collection by designer Vincent Cadena is a 3 lounge chair combination that comes together as one sofa. What we like best about this piece of modern furniture are the legs. While the seat itself is very sleek and contemporary, the legs are reminiscent of something close to what you would find in old classic chairs. The best part about it however is the steel ball at the bottom. Vincent Cadena is a talented designer whose works deserve a thorough look.

‘OK house’ by Baqueratta
Yoshiyuki Moriyama’s Tokyo based architecture practice, Baqueratta, specializes in residential architecture, creating experimental homes for japan’s tiny lot sizes. One of the firm’s buildings in Tokyo is the ‘OK house.’ Unlike the firm’s other works, this home is dark and heavy looking from the outside. A large black volume balances atop a smaller one. No door is in sight, just a set of stairs which can be lowered or raised to close off the home completely. The inside of the home is a light and primarily white space. The main living area features a full wall of glass doors, which opens up onto a small garden space. And the bedroom sits below it which also opens up onto its own garden.

Portas Novas by Victor Cañas Architects
Portas novas House by Victor Canas architects is situated in Guanacaste, a dry tropical province of Costa Rica. Portas Novas, which means New Gates, is a stunning piece of architecture made by concrete, steel and lots of glass. To the west, Portas Novas reveals a clear, beautiful, near 180° panorama of the ocean, and to the east there is not so vast, but still great view to the mountainside. This means that the house has two very different view: the openness of the horizon with the sunset to the west and the more intimate but still very wide view of mountainside and isolated neighbors to the east. The ground-level water mirror on the western side seems to merge into the ocean, creating even more spectacular scene. The neat, clean-cut interior with only basic furniture, corresponds perfectly to the house’s exterior. The outdoor feel is transferred indoors with the use of wood, stone, glass and concrete. Warm natural light flows from everywhere thanks to the huge windows and creates a great balance with the cold stone floors and concrete walls.
