NORM Architects have sent us another penthouse project they have completed in Copenhagen.
On the top of one the few high rise buildings in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, the interior of this penthouse has been completely redone. The apartment has a stunning view overlooking the city to both sides. The clients dream was a completely minimalistic space with no nonsense and plenty of light on the top of town.

BEAVERHAUSEN, a Belgian interior design studio, created the interior for the Waffles Sneaker Delicacies shoe store in Brussels, Belgium.
From the designers:
A very clean white space was designed for the Waffles sneaker store in Brussels. We took the name litteraly in order to create a world that breaths waffles. The wall behind the counter and the counter itself are covered with white tiles to give the space a bakery feeling. The shelves are simplified waffle shapes made out of coated foam. The cut-aways in the waffle shapes proudly present colourful shoes. This creates a delicious contrast while a mirror behind every cut-away shows us the other side of each shoe. And to top it all, a special waffle perfume will make your feet hungry.

The Andel’s hotel chain have recently opened their fourth designer hotel, featuring interiors by the design group Jestico + Whiles. The 278 room hotel is located in a historic 19th century building in the Polish city of Lodz.

Last July, we reported on the opening of the first citizenM Hotel at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, and we mentioned that they were planning to open another more urban location. Well, they’re now officially a hotel chain with the opening of the citizenM Amsterdam City location.
Located in Amsterdam’s financial district, between the World Trade Centre and city centre, and with rates starting at 69 Euros a night, citizenM continues to target the frequent traveller market. The low rates are made possible by the ultra-compact rooms that are actually built in a factory and then transported to the site and stacked on top of the pre-built ground floor. The 215 room, five floor hotel was designed by the Dutch architectural firm Concrete.
Besides the innovative room design, the ground floor is especially filled with designer touches. As a result of their partnership with Vitra, there is a variety of designer furnishings including the Marshmallow sofa by George Nelson, the new Vegetal chairs by the Bouroullec brothers, child-size Panton chairs, the Porcupine Desk by Hella Jongerius, and cute plywood elephants by Ray and Charles Eames.
The Michelberger is a new budget hotel in Berlin, Germany that will open on September 9th, 2009.
The hotel takes its name from the founder, Tom Michelberger, a 31-year-old from southern Germany. Tom is the central figure in a patchwork of friends who came together to create the hotel.
With rates starting at 59 EUR per night, the Michelberger falls into the budget hotel category, but unlike most budget hotels which are typically very standard and conventional, the Michelberger has been designed by the internationally renowned designer Werner Aisslinger, to provide a unique guest experience.
The 119 room hotel is located next to the famous Oberbaum Bridge and the river Spree. Five different room categories offer a range of different layouts. The rooms display a high level of space efficiency and lots of vertical drama and airiness - a feat allowed by the placing of loft bed areas above the bathrooms. Most rooms are for singles, couples and threesomes but other options including The Big One allow groups of 4 or even more to room together.
