super colossal

I found this architecture firm this morning and wanted to share some of their work with you.  "Super Colossal is an architecture office based in Sydney, Australia. We believe wholeheartedly in the potential for positive change in the built environment through thoughtful design." Super Colosal.  I want millwork closets sooooo bad! I will gladly take canted travertine vanities also!  If you have money I can help you spend it and create this for you! ;-) 

pretty in mink

Fabulous commercial Interior Designer/Architect Lauren Rottet (previously with DMJM Rottet and now with her very own 7 office firm Rottet Studio) installed a pretty little stone by the name of mink marble for the hard surfaces of The Royal Bank of Scotland- Houston branch. It was love at first sight! I had never seen a striated stone like this let alone with my favorite colors in it. I spent several months at my previous firm searching for this stone when alas I found a stone rep that carried it. You may find the information for slabs of mink marble via the CoveringsEtc website. Lauren Rottet's portfolio is filled with modern corporate interiors that incorporate beautifully executed details. I wouldn't mind learning a thing or two from her! I also would love to install this in a bathroom with a free-standing tub (waterworks below) and a wash-basin (seen at the very bottom) by Alape.
