Developed by request of a landmark Lisbon restaurant bearing the same name, the Tavares chair is an object of thoughtful geometric lines, a “Shell” as a chair. Built in black steel, its forms reveal the the simplicity of an object that integrates with its surrounding architecture defining a common space identity.
An extendible mechanism is only one of the "tricks beneath the sleeve" that this ingenious table provides. Sporting clean lines and a high gloss finish, magic is always one step closer when the Glare table is at the centre of a dining room.

Responding to the owner’s need for space to house visiting friends and family, the Rolling Huts are several steps above camping, while remaining low-tech and low-impact in their design. The huts sit lightly on the site, a flood plain meadow in an alpine river valley. The owner purchased the site, formerly a RV campground, with the aim of allowing the landscape return to its natural state. The wheels lift the structures above the meadow, providing an unobstructed view into nature and the prospect of the surrounding mountains.
The huts are grouped as a herd: while each is sited towards a view of the mountains (and away from the other structures), their proximity unites them. They evoke Thoreau’s simple cabin in the woods; the structures take second place to nature. Rental information for the Huts is available at www.rollinghuts.com

Robin & Lucienne Day: Design & the modern interior.
Pallant House Gallery - 26th March - 26th June 2011
G. H. Residence was conceived less as a house, but more as an extension and outgrowth of the limestone and aquifers of the Central Texas geography. The roof structure is configured so as to create a natural basin for the collection of rainwater, not unlike the vernal pools found in the outcroppings of Enchanted Rock. These basins harness additional natural flows through the use of photovoltaic and solar hot-water panels. The water, electricity and heat which are harvested on the roof tie into an extensive climate conditioning system which utilizes water source heat pumps and radiant loops to supply both the heating and cooling for the residence. The climate system is connected to geothermal ground loops as well as pools and water features thereby establishing a system of heat exchange which minimizes reliance on electricity or gas.
The primary formal gesture of the project inserts two long native limestone walls into the site. The walls serve as the boundary demarking domesticated space with the vegetation outbound of these walls being native while the interior spaces are more lush and tropical. The program of the residence is configured along the stone walls each of which serves as the spine for the public and private wings, respectively. The offset between the main wings establish an exterior courtyard which will serve as an extended living space for much of the year. The siting of the boundary walls and building elements was informed by the presence and preservation of three mature native oaks. The house enjoys close proximity to both Emma Long Metro Park and
West Bull Creek Preserve.

The Cantoni design team recently completed a design project for Empire at Kings, a hot, new residence in the heart of West Hollywood. The development offers modern and luxurious one, two, and three-bedroom urban apartments that feature a green lifestyle, professional stainless-steel pet washing station, and panoramic views of downtown LA, the Hollywood Hills, and the vast westside cityscape.
The Cantoni design team was tapped to collaborate with Empire at Kings and transform the 1,450 square foot penthouse with an expansive 1,180 square foot terrace into a warm urban oasis to help prospective residents envision themselves living at the Empire at Kings.
