The Osler House, designed by Marcio Kogan, is located in Brasilia, Brazil.

The plan of the Osler house is structured by a ground floor volume, a suspended volume and a deck with an outdoor pool.

On the ground floor we find the rooms that open to the outside using rotating wooden panels, and a small lobby that connects the second floor with a delicate staircase.

Eiffel Tower Gets A Makeover

 Eiffel Tower Gets A MakeoverDue to ever increasing crowds, SERERO architects have submitted a proposal to extend the third floor of the world famous tower.

Since its creation the amount of visitors coming to reach the top of the tower has increased to reach its limit capacity, 6.5 million.

The floor area of each level decreases with the height because of the tower geometry resulting in very long waiting lines and crowd management problems.

In celebration of the 120th birthday of the tower, the Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel decided to restructure the public reception and access areas of the tower.

Hotel Full Moon is essentially a disc with rounded edges and a hole in one of the top corners that appears radically different to the view depending on the angle it is seen from.
