Get Shafted
The adaptation of former miner shaft, Krystyna creates a 7000 sq. m. multi functional community center featuring an glass bottom pool and amazing performance spaces. This reimagined structure is located in Bytom, Poland where you can’t find anything else like it. Designed by architects Przemo Lukasik and Lukasz Zagała with the support of associate architects Rafał Dziedzic, Agnieszka Szewera, Katarzyna Mazurek and Dominika Marek for their client GC Investment.
The color and light that these renderings give off are immaculate. The absolute hues that create real to life shadows from the figures who barely exist in the space. I particularly enjoy this space because the mood it gives off and the chandelier is nice too!
I’m not sure if this is exactly possible but I like it. The Glass bottom pool actually floats in the work out space create a connection between the two. If this is structurally possible I’d love to see it in person.

Get Covered by Christian Vivanco
Christian Vivanco’s designs are exercises and tests based around one major theme: people and periphery. Our attractions, our desires and rejections are what make up his thinking and process when working on a piece. Think to yourself “What do I like and why?” This is where Vivanco’s design starts.
The reason he starts here is because people are our friends, neighbors and family. People are ultimately who will see, touch, sit on and interact with his work; the people we see in hotel lobbies, grocery stores or restaurants. His main goal is to create objects that try to evoke a smile in everyone. These are some of the ideas created by Christian Vivanco, if you are interested in them or in new ones don’t hesitate in get in touch with him here.

Five Top Interiors on Rate My Space
“This condo is in an historic 1902 publishing company’s old offices. (The historic Lippincott Publishing Company) We essentially bought a white empty box of 1900 sq ft and had to do everything from scratch — including bring up the plumbing and electric. We worked with an architect to design the space, but much of it was our own design and ideas. Did all of the decorating myself. And while proud of it, would appreciate some thoughts, help, ideas on how to improve it. I enjoy decorating and design – but its just a fun hobby” – Craig Hamilton Owner
“Urban living space in downtown Philadelphia” – Matt99
“I fell in love with Bali and all its beauty, so I designed my entire beach house with Indonesian elements. From stone and wood carvings to daybeds and sheer canopies, Bali influence is everywhere you look. Since it’s our vacation home, and sticking to the budget was essential, we decided to import a container of teak furniture, marble tile, sinks, doors and art from Bali.” – BoBendana
“Sleek and high style living room.” – ATLANTADON
“A soothing green family great room that accomodates the adult gathering and yet is still kid friendly.” – jacsmom

Inside Andy Warhol’s Factory

Andy Warhol was infamous for party’s and crazy superstar pals lounging around his Art Studio known as The Factory. I’ve compiled some great images that show off the interior of Warhol s famed space. Silver everywhere and pop art in motion. What I love about the Factory is that anything goes as long as you have speed and a gray wig why not, darling. The space has inspired my work on several occasions and these images are just the tip of the iceberg as far as Andy Warhol is concerned.
