  Architecture & Interior Design OUT WITH THE OLD... Light in its various forms is a strong theme in the house and was clearly important to the over-all design. The south-facing glass walls flood the rooms with sunlight during the day and as the nights draw in, the house's spectacular light-fittings come into their own. The double-height ceilings have allowed for the installation of two chandeliers, which combine droplets of Murano glass suspended on thin wires to create the illusion of balls of brightly coloured light floating in mid-air. In the master bedroom the light-fitting is equally as striking, if on a smaller scale. Like a tangle of wild flowers, red buds emerge from a twisted mass of wires. When switched on, the buds open slightly and gently rotate as if brought suddenly to life. 'Light in its various forms is a strong theme in the house and was clearly important to the over-all design' The juxtaposition of the mid-century vogue for straight, clean and almost severe lines with the modern trend for curvature is also a recurring theme. High, geometric windows sit alongside a curved staircase and a boxy corner sofa is offset by the fluid lines of walnut armchairs and circular glass table. The opposing styles could easily clash, but in this case they slot together perfectly to create a soft and welcoming space. The whole house is a mass of stylistic contradictions; the classic and the contemporary, the neutral and the brightly coloured, the linear and the curved. But <b>...</b>

  The Raymond Group City Center Tree...
  "The Tree House" featured in the attached time lapse video is the sculptural centerpiece of the new Sobella Retail space of The Crystals at City Center in Las Vegas. The video reveals the structure's daily progress from start to completion, from one point of view. The Raymond Group's role in the project included framing, drywall, taping, painting, wood cladding installation, as well as BIM components. Below is a description of The Tree House provided by McLaren Engineering, who performed the complete structural engineering down to the main floor, the bulbed-out mezzanine floor, and support from the roof. "This Tree House is not some rickety structure thrown together by a group of 12-year-olds from scrap lumber in dad's garage. Nor is it a pre-fabricated tree house kit with a slide, fire pole, and rope swing like those sold in Wal-Mart. No, this is altogether different." "The Tree House is a two-story, free form, wood clad structure that seems to defy gravity, sitting precariously on a narrow base, spreading out to envelope part of the mezzanine floor, and then reaching away from its support to the skylight above. It appears to be made from horizontal and vertical slices of curved wood, and contains illuminated faces. The upper "oculus" allows light to shine inside the encapsulated bar, which bulbs out from the mezzanine." "...Each structural member and connection experiences unique stresses, so each had to be analyzed individually. The connections of the secondary "ring <b>...</b>
