Balustrades

This little web of steel is by Archiplein who are a young international architecture office composed by 5 partners who aim reinterpret classic Chinese culture and marry it with globalization and sustainability.



It looks fab but I dare say It's probably a nightmare to dust. More great pics on the Design Milk blog

Wall Magic. Peg board

Peg board makes a welcome return to our design repertoire in this project in Calvert Avenue. Its a low budget product but gives a great textural effect. We've used it here to create a sliding panel over a home office.



It comes with a range of shop fitting bits so you can hang and display what you like on it or just admire its striped back simplicity. There's more pictures on our facebook page.

Supplier of the Month. Everything GRP

Everything GRP do, yes you've guessed it, everything in grp. That's glass reinforced plastic to the likes of you and me. Its camper van heaven down in Swanage and they're red hot at furniture as well. Here's the kitchen unit they made for us. The mothership has landed.


Product of the Month. Brunel cast iron bath

If its cast iron baths you want go no further than our old friends at Aston Matthews. They stock the largest selection of cast iron baths in the UK.

We specified this Brunel bath for one of our latest residential projects. 1700 x 700 and double ended for those 'which way shall i sit today' moments its a real beauty.
