A hotel in a quarry in China

This stunning concept designs inspired by the natural water and landscape features of the quarry captured the imagination of judges to quash competition from two other international firms. The quarry will provide protection from the weather, and reduce the energy needs of the hotel. The complex will contain restaurants, cafes, sport facilities, and will even include underwater public areas and guestrooms.



The innovative design of the 400-bed resort hotel stands two levels higher than the rock face of the 100 metre deep quarry and includes underwater public areas and guestrooms. It will incorporate conference facilities for up to 1,000 people, a banqueting centre, restaurants, cafés and sports facilities.

Take a seat and study the map

The chair shown here is hand covered in a vintage edition map of the east London area. The map is cut into small squares using the printed grid lines & then joined back together with the Thames river flowing across the seat & then across the back of the chair.

The Love Mattress and the Bath Organizer

Designed by Mehdi Mojtabvi, the mattress is actually made up of single slats, each covered in with a smooth fabric. The slats allow you to dip your arms to better hug your partner in bed.




Place it over your bath and you are provided with a handy shelf to keep all of your knick-knacks! You can be unoriginal and use it to store your soap and sponge, or you can indulge and utilise the adjustable wine glass holders, adjustable candle holder and adjustable book prop to full effect.

YOM is an mp3 player alarm clock that can make your wake up on your favourite song. You can set which songs to wake up to via the touch sensitive controls. YOM is designed by Philipp Goeder and until now is just a concept design. The USB stick then becomes a joystick to toggle thru your playlists.

Toilet Shaped House

This design stinks!!! Sorry, I just had to say it but really isn't this architecture out of control? Although the more I look at it, it somehow makes me wanna get a book, relax and sit for a while .

The Toilet-Shaped House has a very unique design, and was built by Sim Jae-duck, the chairman of the organizing committee of the Inaugural General Assembly of the World Toilet Association, and he hopes his toilet house will highlight the global need for better sanitation.. The Toilet-Shaped house is in fact named Haewoojae, which signifies in Korean “a place of sanctuary where one can solve one’s worries“. Sim Jae-duck will open what is billed as the world’s one and only toilet house on November 11 to mark the launch of his World Toilet Association.



The steel, white concrete and glass house, with a symbolic opening in the roof, will be ready to receive visitors next month, said the World Toilet Association in a statement. The house is a 419 sq m structure with two bedrooms, two guestrooms and other rooms, the two-storey house of course features three deluxe toilets. Unlike the giant “toilet” in which they are located, they will not be see-through affairs.

If you would like to visit this house you can go to Sim Jae-duck native city of Suweon, 40km south of Seoul.
