Artists Studio Based in the deep forest near Glen Nevis. Very Relevant to you're current project.
Interesting Storage Space for Books and Films: The Swollen Wall Apartment
Swollen wall. Simplicity at its best - been done before and every time I see it I think I should incorporate this at home. Still good.
IX Mirrors by Ron Gilad
The collaboration with Dilmos Gallery led Gilad to explore the artistic and cultural past of Italy. In his mirrors, he incorporates antique Venetian fabrics, Byzantine mosaics made in Ravenna, hand sculpted figures modeled after classic Roman sculptures, while maintaining his own artistic authenticity. For him, the act of quoting the past has two roles, giving respect to it and serving his urge to playfully redefine it.

Unique Bedroom Design by Steve Kuhl Featuring a Pirate Ship
Designed by Steve Kuhl, this amazing pirate inspired bedroom accomplishes a dream for pirate enthusiasts of all ages. Ingeniously constructed, the unique bedroom can be accessed by letting go of all fears and becoming a child again: at a superior floor, a hole in the wall takes you sliding down a slide to a comfortable pillow located in the actual bedroom. Once you get up, the eyes immediately rise to meet a wonderful, fairy tale structure: a large pirate ship high on the ceiling. A wooden rope bridge is used to access the ship, where the crow’s nest reigns, alongside a second bed, for guests. The crow’s nest was made using a ten inch hand-hewn timber for extra strength and a rope connects it to the dressing below. The structure of the ship was carefully created: “We used 2×12 ribs to construct the hull of the ship, covering them with layers of 1/2 inch plywood to act as the planking. Our genius faux finisher developed a bomb-proof blend of plaster and epoxy with integrated colouring to simulate an old ship’s hull.” There is another way to access the bedroom: through a door that also hides the magic kingdom of the sea. A jail cell with a custom steel door meets whoever enters the room. It also serves as the base of the rope bridge. This astonishing interior design will help the child grow up in a creative environment, don’t you think?
