Top Shelf: Lamborghini Perdigón Concept






Wild..

Automotive designer Ondrej Jirec, a student at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, presents an interesting vision for Lamborghini with his new Perdigón Concept sports car. 

It still amazes us today when looking at a 10 year old Lamborghini on the street, realizing that the car still looks like it came from the future. As such Jirec’s vision could actually become reality.
Extreme proportions, and in general a really strong design statement, the “2015 Lamborghini Perdigón Concept” looks at a first glance like a super police car of the future.

Architecture: Sense Home by Kazutoshi Imanaga







Crazy..

Although architecture all too often engages only the eyes, the best designs manage to change the way we interact with a space through all five senses. The Sense Home by Kazutoshi Imanaga was created with this intention in mind — the concept behind the home was to appeal not only to a visual inclination, but to utilize and delight as many senses as possible. 

Aesthetically, the residence is comprised of white-based geometric shapes with black accents and a notable use of large glass panels. Alternating structure with open spaces, boundaries are often drawn between the interior/exterior only through these barriers of transparent glass, giving the entire home a feeling of airiness. Elsewhere, the design was meant to emphasize the sound of water — with numerous pools interspersed between the structures — along with the smell of greenery and feeling of gentle breezes and sunshine. Love to ArchDaily on the lookout!

Top Shelf: 2013 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S




Serious..

Porsche releases an update to their ever-respectable Cayenne SUV with the 2013 Turbo S. The six-digit grocery-getter features a 4.8L V8 that puts out 550 hp at the crank which translates into a 0-62 mph sprint of 4.5 seconds. 

This ensures the Turbo S in its stock form is good for up to 175 mph, but we can imagine tuners will come along and put in their own audacious efforts. Aesthetically the crossover model features 21-inch 911 Turbo II wheels, aggressive flares on the wheel arches and a two-tone interior. More comprehensive info on the Turbo S can be seen here.

Dopeness: Ducati 20th Anniversary Monster Motorcycle



Serious..

Over 250,000 enthusiasts have already personalized their bikes, making the Monster from Ducati a timeless icon. Seen as an instrument to express individuality, the Italian company has decided to celebrate this symbol of style and personality by offering up a unique model that celebrates 20 years of two-wheel mastery.

With any details detracting from the Monster concept being eliminated, “less-is-more” also means “less-is-Monster.” Less weight plus more torque equals fun-filled riding.

Architecture: Courtyard House By Hiren Patel Architects























Righteous..

Hiren Patel Architects present its latest residential space in the newly developed outskirts of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The courtyard house is a combination of contemporary design blended with traditional stylings — mixing modern elements with nature for a sense of tranquility. 

Taking advantage of India’s climate, while at the same time conscious of the environment, widows are mostly positioned on the north or east of the home, whereas the west and the south contain large seven-foot verandahs — blocking out harsh sunlight, but allowing cool air to flow in. Architect Hiren also leaves his personal touches throughout the house, as large clerestory windows and skylights prevent the family from sleeping in and to ensure that the outdoor view of nature is appreciated.
