from shipyard to courtyard by sanlorenzo during milan design week 2019.

as if the sea had run dry, the silhouette of a yacht has settled placidly inside a courtyard of the university of milan, a creature whose only recognizable element is the structure defining its original purity.

confirming its design and creative approach which made contamination an actual distinctive value of its, sanlorenzo, one of the world’s main shipyards for the production of yachts and superyachts, takes part in milan’s fuorisalone for its third consecutive year with the installation from shipyard to courtyard which will be set up in the context of the exhibition-event interni human spaces, in the beautiful setting of università degli studi di milano (“university of milan”).

the superhouse collection, an interesting concept. strom architects.

Nov 3, 2015

The concept house featured on this post is the first of a series of 30. The architect, Magnus Ström is only going to design 30 homes in what is labeled a Superhouse category – much like a limited edition series of art or watches. To emphasize this, each house will have its own number discretely engraved somewhere into the façade. We are looking at S 00/30. These homes are going to be designed in such a way as to set them apart from existing contemporary, high-end architecture. The inspiration and vision comes from Superyachts, “Why couldn’t houses also reach the same heights of design quality and workmanship?” and “Why do Superyachts exist, but ‘Superhouses’ don’t?” A Superhouse collection is an interesting concept.
