Noroom Introduces The HIDEsk by Michael Hilgers. A Great Solution For Small Spaces.

The HIDEsk by Michael Hilgers is an office you can literally hide in the tightest of spaces.




A new product introduced at IMM Cologne, the HIDEsk from German company noroom offers new options of working in small spaces: This pop-up office can change a bedroom within seconds into a small but functional working space.







The powdercoated metal back hides cables and chargers and can be individualised with flexible aluminium shelves.

The body and flap are made from durable birch plywood with white film coating. The depth of the folded lightweight aluminium structure is only 8 cms. With approx. 75 cms width it offers enough space for a laptop with mousepad but it is handy enough to hide it after work.

Huge Modern Athens Home With A Squash Court, Gym and Three Swimming Pools.

Here is a stunning example of recently completed residential architecture by the Greece based firm 314 Architecture Studio. The H3 is an enormous modern family home (10,764 sq feet) that sits on over 75,000 square feet of land.



The concrete and glass structure is built to give the illusion of hanging over three bodies of water and features parking, a squash court, gym, sauna, laundry room and 2 guest rooms on the bottom floor. Dining rooms (formal and informal), a kitchen and living areas grace the main floor, while the semi-cantlivered section that protrudes over one of the three pools has two more bedrooms, a kitchen and living area.



Details like giant window louvers, textured and angular concrete, built in bookshelves, mitered glass balcony railings, and a modern outdoor grill of concrete and glass along with tons of outdoor lighting inset into the overhangs makes every aspect of this home unique and inviting. There's one deep swimming pool and two shallow wading pools.
