How in the world do you clean that glass sink? Oops, I dropped my contact – get the hammer.

i so want that silver lamp.
and those silver balls… they’re so sexy!
but what’s up with that crazy sink?! it is awesome, but not practical, i guess…
the best room is the living room, those stairs are great, and the ambient just looks so right!
not that is is amazingly wonderful, but it just feels so right.
but the most interesting thing (ok, besides that sink…) is the lamp on the sixth picture. Not the lamp itself, but the hole in the ceiling from where it seems to be projected, like a piece that fell from it… know what i mean?
what i didn’t like was the frame of the mirror in the 12th and the pattern on the wall in the 13th picture. I love patterns, really, but this one, as the mirror frame, looked kind of like if it had been made by kids… i don’t know, it’s hard to explain…
now that bed, with that floor…! oh! sweet dreams!

Maybe it’s possible to lift off the glass around the sink for cleaning and retrieving dropped contact lenses?
alexandre, I didn’t even notice that space above the lamp. but now that I see it, I’m impressed by the amount of thought that they put into that room because they would have needed to know the shape of the lamp they were going to use even before they designed the room.

Perhaps if they had “scooped” a little piece of the glass our of the front panel I would see it being more practical, but like you alexandre I LOVE the concept of the sink. But unlike alexandre, I think I like the water closet the most. The accent wall really makes it all stand out and adds some depth and texture that’s missing from the rest of the house.

While we’re nitpicking some of the design for design’s sake elements… How can you get away with building stairs without any handrail?

love the concept of the sink .maybe its should have a trap made by glass to prevent your contact lens from drop down below …
