Rock Palace, Wadi Dhar The Dar al-Hajar ( "Stone House" or "Rock Palace") is a former royal palace located in Wadi Dhar about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Sana‘a, Yemen. Built in the 1920s as the summer retreat of Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din, ruler of Yemen from 1904 to 1948, it sits on top of a structure built in 1786 for the scholar al-Imam Mansour. The palace stayed in the royal family until the Yemen revolution of 1962. The palace is now a museum. Here's a different building for you! Our challenge this month is to use brown and cream with ecru lace. Ecru is the creamy colour that you often see on hand made items such as tablecloths and doileys. Maybe you have some old crochet work that you can use. (Don't cut up family heirlooms) If not you can dye white lace by soaking it in tea for a while. We are sponsored this month by Craft Queen. Many thanks to her for this beautiful prize. Now here is the design teams inspiration for you: TRISH DALE BUFFY LESLIE BARB MITZI JULENE Our winner for last month was Maureen Wood. Congratulations !

“Friendly and higly recommendable place” This riad is a hidden jewel in a great city. Very friendly and helpful staff, great location, wonderful food. What more can you ask for?
[Advertisement / Anzeige*] Riad Dar Grawa. In Marrakesh, you have a big choice of wonderful Riads in every price bracket. The AnaYela was unfortunately booked solid for the last night and so we stayed overnight in the Riad Dar Grawa. Judging by its style, you notice immediately that it is completely different from the AnaYela. This riad is closer to the Boutique Riad style and the whole house is excellently […]

Termenul “vintage” devine din ce in ce mai raspandit in vocabularul nostru, si reprezinta tot ceea ce este nou, dar realizat in spiritul stilurilor din trecut. In domeniul arhitecturii, vintage descrie constructii noi, contemporane (nu spunem moderne deoarece acesta un cu totul alt stil) care au fost proiectate si executate intr-un stil asemanator arhitecturii cu o vechime mai mare de 20 de ani. Este greu sa tragem linie si sa definim conceptul vintage ca reprezentand o readaptare a stilurilor unei anumite perioade, deoarece influentele pot veni din mai multe domenii si pot fascina prin modul in care se imbina. Am putea spune ca arhitectura vintage nu ar trebui sa depaseasca 100 de ani vechime, de la momentul in care ne aflam. Nu putem nega insa faptul ca amenajarile pe stil vechi (atat de exterior, cat si de interior) au o popularitate foarte mare si plac multor oameni, iar atunci cand o cladire nou-construita primeste o infatisare vintage aceasta cu siguranta devine un subiect de conversatie! Accentele vechi vor avea intotdeauna substratul romantic al vremurilor de altadata, in care agitatia urbana nu pusese stapanire pe viata de zi cu zi si in care stresul nu fusese acceptat ca o parte integranta a activitatilor noastre. Este pana la urma o chestiune de gust, insa aceasta abordare a arhitecturii a primit numeroase critici, printre care si faptul ca nu lasa arhitectura sa evolueze si sa fie influentata de timpul contemporan. Casele trebuie sa fie potrivite cu stilul de viata al locatarilor, si sa se plieze pe nevoile acestora, existand la momentul actual si stiluri de amenajare care sa fie o combinatie intre vechi si nou, supranumite si vintage-modern. Stilurile vechi (sau cu aspect invechit) se regasesc cel mai adesea in domeniul amenajarilor interioare, dar exista de asemenea si constructii realizate din materiale de ultima generatie care se ascund in spatele nostalgiei dupa trecut. Putem spune ca aceasta abordare este inedita fara a ne face sa simtim ca depasim limita sau ca preferam excentricul. Asadar, cum arata aceste cladiri noi, insa cu un aspect ce aminteste de trecut? Aceasta casa, desi construita in perioada contemporana, aminteste de tiparul arhitecturii clasice, chiar traditionale. Avem aici o casa moderna, insa al carei design se incadreaza in peisajul traditional al zonei. Aspectul acestei case este puternic influentat de stilul caselor de preerie, introdus de arhitectul american Frank Lloyd Wright la inceputul sec.XX. Iata un alt proiect cladit in stilul caselor de preerie. Putem observa aici influentele curentului Bauhaus, nascut in anul 1919. Aceasta casa prezinta influenta curentului art deco aparut in Franta la sfarsitul Primului Razboi Mondial si care a revolutionat artele vizuale ale sec. XX. Amenajarile interioare de tip vintage primesc numeroase influente ce nu tin doar de un anumit stil folosit cu preponderenta in secolul trecut, ci se refera si la anumite tematici de amenajare legate ce modul de viata, si chiar pasiunile persoanelor care traiau in acea perioada. Pentru cei mai in varsta, camerele amenajate vintage pot reprezenta o recunoastere a faptului ca aceea a fost „vremea lor”, iar pentru cei tineri acestea fascineaza prin evocarea unei perioade de timp ale carei stiluri de amenajare au devenit valoroase. Mobilierul, decoratiunile si elementele arhitecturale lasa impresia unui decor plin de valoare. Iata un loc de luat masa cald si romantic, definit ca vintage prin tabloul de pe perete si prin mobilierul cu aspect invechit. O bucatarie vintage, in care pana si mobilierului i-a fost pastrat aspectul invechit. Culorile deschise aduc luminozitate si sporesc impactul aspectului invechit. Acest hol de intrare are o amenajare clasica, cu masa si veioze ce amintesc de mobilierul de demult. Finisajul peretilor si al pardoselii si rama oglinzii sunt fara indoiala elementele care fac ca aceasta baie sa fie vintage. Un dormitor in acelasi timp clasic si vintage, care invita la odihna! Amenajare art deco pentru un dormitor modern in stilul anilor '20. Camera de zi inspirata de anii '50. Regasim aici rozul puternic care aminteste de estetica anilor '80. Stil retro, definit de elementele disco specifice anilor '70. Ca intotdeauna, asteptam si sugestiile dumneavoastra in rubrica de mai jos!

Quand on remonte d'Agadir vers Essaouira par la N1, sur la gauche de la route, on aperçoit les ruines de DAR CAÏD HADJI. Dans l'indifférence générale, ce beau palais du siècle dernier tombe dans l'oubli, subissant les outrages du temps. Ouvert à tous...
The Austria artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser is said to have once called straight lines "the devil's tools." Hundertwasser designed many buildings throughout Austria and Germany, but the Waldspirale is a loud testament to Hundertwasser's hatred of straight lines and his allegiance to nature. Waldspirale translates to "wooded spiral," and that is exactly what it is. The large spiraled building is topped with an incredible forest - beech, maple and lime trees grow on the undulating, twisting roof. Completed in 2000 -- the same year Hundertwasser died -- the Waldspirale has 105 apartments and more than 1000 windows. Not one of these windows are shaped the same in this "out of line" building, and many have "tree tenants" growing right through them. At the highest point the building has 12 floors. You can climb to the wooded spiral roof, which includes a cafe and a bar. Hundertwasser's aversion to the "devil's tools" is carried to the interior as well; the corners between the walls and ceiling are rounded off in every apartment. The Waldspirale is a testament to Hundertwasser's organic aspirations and deep love of nature. As he once said, "If man walks in nature's midst, then he is nature's guest and must learn to behave as a well-brought-up guest." source
