Derriere is a fairly unique restaurant concept in the heart of Paris. It offers to its guests the qualities of having a gourmet dinner in a restaurant with the comfort and warmth of eating in a traditional Parisian home.
There is no way I will know if it is a restaurant if it is not stated and without doubt, it is definitely the most heartwarming one isn’t it?

Heatherwick Studio was commissioned to design a café building to replace a seafront kiosk in Littlehampton, a traditional seaside town on England’s south coast. Exposed to weather and vandalism, the narrow site sits between the sea and a parade of houses.
The studio saw its challenge as being to produce a long, thin building without flat, two-dimensional façades.
The building is sliced diagonally into ribbons which wrap up and over the building, forming a layered protective shell, open to the sea in front. The opening is filled with glass doors and windows, protected at night by roller shutters concealed within the building’s geometry, the 30-centimetre width of the ribbons being the dimension of a shutter mechanism.
In contrast to the conventional white-washed seaside aesthetic, the building is raw and weathered, its structural steel shell finished with an oil-based coating that permits a rust-like patination to develop without affecting structural performance.
A kiosk and cafeteria by day and a restaurant in the evening, the new café seats sixty.

Genexis Theater, Fusionopolis in Singapore, designed by ARUP and WOHA architects, was awarded design of the year for the President’s Design Award at the Singapore Design Week 09.
The design of the Genexis Theater rises to the challenge of an extremely difficult site, and succeeds through a cohesive amalgamation of highly technical solutions and innovation design. the result is a composite work of art and technology that transcends the site, and raises the bar for architectural and audio-visual
system design for a performing arts venue.
The theater’s feature include 560 adjustable seats that are retractable to create a thrust stage, and yet movable in multiple directions. the use of 400,000 timber beads line the internally curved walls of an ovoid space with an acoustic solution reducing the echo to minimum.
