story of an urban jungle

I am posting design ideas in a series called MY NOOK for a corner, for each and every nook of my house and your house.

I have already done one, this is next.

This is ‘urban bear’ inkjet print by architect and artist Marjetica Potrc, I just can’t seem to erase from my mind for even a minute.

I imagine I am the girl in red frock.

And this is my nook:

Me and my friend both are silently watching the landscape thinking what would be the world tomorrow!

Can you guess that it is innovative use of empty glass bottles!

This pictures are from eco-township Navadarshanam situated along the border of Thally reserve forest at Tamilnadu and Karnataka borders. Here an alternate way of life and working is translated in ecological living. The homes are built with Sun baked mud blocks for walls, terracotta tiles, red oxide and cement for flooring.
Terracotta and cement jaalis (lattice), recycled wood and bottles are used as design accents.

I observe me

This flower arrangement has become piece of art and that is what Paula Pryke  does. This is first floral art which I think has taken me to another level and has taught me something.

This sofa chair called facett designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec is my another favourite (It has to be white). I could cuddle up there for hours and feel nice.

And this Gregory Blain platform is what I want to think about.  I want to think if it is practical in  small spaces.

These 3 pieces make a perfect corner for me to meditate.

I would be posting design ideas in a series called MY NOOK for a corner, for each and every nook of my house and your house.

This is my first nook and I am nervous.

I would sit on la platforme and imagine I, and not the flowers; who is sitting on the sofa chair. I would definitely move my legs restlessly and the rest of magic would be brought forward by the dark ambience, the white and red contrast.

I think I would attain bliss. What about you?
