Hammock Heaven

Incredible Hammocks by Royal Botania

The international design community has spoken and the winner of Interior Design Magazine’s Best of Year Award (BoYA) in the Outdoor Furniture Category is: 

Royal Botania’s “WAVE” hammock. 

Unlike any other piece of its kind, it is neither a hammock, nor a sun chair, nor a parasol. It is an artwork that combines functionality with beauty and elegance.

Acquavilla

Acquavilla constructed by Winn Wittman Architecture is located in Austin, Texas.  

It is a renovation of a mid-80's wreck.  

According to the architects, the residence was developed in a way that reflects the whimsical personality of the owner. 

The original facade is enriched by a custom-designed metal panel system with interesting leaf motives. This pattern is reoccurring throughout the property at unique places, such as glass doors or windows. 

The pool- which seems to blend with the nearby lake- is probably this building’s most alluring feature.

                     (notice the leaf motif above on the overhang)

The interiors are highly modern and each room is invaded by light.

The many arrangements:

Too bad I'll be working out at a pool all summer serving drinks rather than lounging out on these!! 

Here's the pool I'm working at:

 and the fun drinks I serve in the cabanas! :) 

Anyone up to anything fun this summer?  Please share! I'll live vicariously through you! :)
