Scandinave Les Bains Vieux - Montréal

Located in Old Montreal and close to the Old Port, the 12,000-square-foot spa is the first urban undertaking of the Scandinave team, spearheaded by Benoît Berthiaume, co-founder and executive VP of the Gestion Rivière du Diable group.

Occupying the ground floor of a restored former warehouse, Scandinave Les Bains Vieux-Montréal’s setting is less intimate than the rural settings of the first two Scandinave spas. The first corporate spa opened in 1999 in the log-and-stone cabin country of Mont Tremblant’s ski hills in Quebec, and the first franchise opened in 2006 in the Blue Mountain ski hills of Collingwood, Ontario.

It's been a while since my last post but I have been incredibly busy (yeah, excuses, excuses!). Anyway here is the latest awesome thing I have seen, courtesy of coolhunter, once again you have made me feel like I live in a horrible building with terrible furniture and will never be able to afford a beautiful house.

Nice though isn't it.

Dubai plans 'moving' skyscraper

A colleague found this on the BBC News Website. An interesting idea to create the worlds first 'moving building'. The Dynamic Tower design is made up of 80 pre-fabricated apartments which will spin independently of one another. The 420-metre (1,378-foot) building's apartments would spin a full 360 degrees, at voice command, around a central column by means of 79 giant power-generating wind turbines located between each floor. The apartments, which will take between one and three hours to make a complete rotation, will cost from $3.7m to $36m. Click here to read the full article and watch the BBC News Video

Living in the Clouds

It has been a while since my last post, this is more due to the fact I have been mega busy as apposed to anything else but here is the next installment. Another architecture post (would you believe it, two in a row!) Stumbled across a post on the cool hunter about fantastic high-rise apartments. Some of the most beautiful living spaces I have seen across some of the most iconic cities around the world. Enjoy, I know I certainly did!

Living on Exhibit

Antwerp, Belgium-based one-year-old sculp(IT) is a partnership of two architects, Pieter Peerlings and Silvia Mertens. They have just finished a new office which is affectionately called 'Antwerp’s narrowest house' and is situated in the former red light district and it is in my humble opinion a masterpiece.
