Minimal Interior #1 - Balance Lamp

In this new section of my blog I would like to present minimal interior I want to share

with you! 

This minimal lamp was created by Netherlands based designer Mieke Meijer for the "Untouchables" show

by Dutch Inventuals. The exhibition should portray the life we live in the rapidly changing world.

After Mieke Meijer finding the right balance is the key.

The lamp she presented resembles the static equilibrum of a tower crane.

Mieke Meijer translated the vulnerability into a lamp which consists of two balancing wooden posts connected by a single wire.

The light is given by hight bright LED technology in combination with tactile materialization, because the LEDs are hidden within the horizontal post. The electrical circuit is closed, when the brass strips touch and the light turns on.

You can adjust the position of the lamp by moving the horizontal post and by bringing it down you can turn the light off.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

Stamp House by Charles Wright Architects

The pictures above show the Stamp House: a self-sustaining, solar-powered cyclone shelter. The Stamp House, built out of stone, was completed in December, intended as a family home.

CHALLENGE

Architect Charles Wright was commissioned to build this private residence for a client who wished to live completely 
off-grid - and in the middle of the Far North Queensland rainforest in Australia, which averages four tropical cyclones a year.


SOLUTION

Because sun is scarce during monsoon seasons, Whright designed a
solarpanelled roof to provide for a constant cooler & more comfortable ambient temperature year-round. The solar panels capacity can be compared to a backup fossil-fuel generator."It can operate for at least two months without any sunshine.
The need of water during drought seasons is also arranged: The rain harvested from the roof in such torrential downpours can fill a 250,000-litre concrete tank, located beneath a pool in the
centre of the house, in a matter of days- "and that kind of quantity of water would probably last for about a year" 
Now the building experienced a rainy season and the farcade generates a slight patina. " The building will very much appear to be of the place."
