UR Architects were awarded first prize for their design of a sports center in Antwerp. The center, which is intended for non-competition sports, is aligned with the existing sports hall along the main street of the new master plan development. The building attempts “to communicate” on all sides as the sports hall, dance hall and rental depot are positioned on the edge, interconnected by a T-shaped service area. This extroverted model opens the building to the community and the architecture reflects the modernism of the surrounding buildings. The roof is designed as a fifth facade to relate to the nearby housing blocks of Renaat Braem while the facades of the halls are made of multi-layered polycarbonate. Partly translucent, partly transparent, this material combines the dynamic spectacle of changing light and shade, with diffuse daylight admission and a high insulation value, resulting in a low energy building.

Sure the bathrooms themselves are much more spacious than the average floor plan calls for so just focus on the vanities, cabinets, sinks, mirrors, and bath tubs that I am sure will look great in you bathroom regardless of size. Mastella of Italy has been redefining the standards of modern bathroom design since its inception in 1984 by managing director Antonio Mastella.

The AntiDiva display at the recent Salone Internazionale del Mobile featured the "Cut Sofa & Chair" that was created by Italian designer Domenico de Palo. This example of contemporary furniture design cuts substance down to a minimum. The minimal impact of the sofa and chair is overpowering when you consider that despite its minimal appearance, it can easily accommodate multiple guests for seating.
