Half-Invisible Abandoned Cabin in the Desert
An abandoned cabin in the desert has become a surreal sight with the addition of alternating mirrored slats, making it seem to half-disappear when viewed from certain angles. Mirrored windows and doors add to the illusion, lighting up at night in a variety of colors with LED lights. Says artist Phillip K Smith III, “Lucid Stead is about tapping into the quiet and the pace of change of the desert. When you slow down and align yourself with the desert, the project begins to unfold before you. It reveals that it is about light and shadow, reflected light, projected light, and change.”

Mirrored Elevator Addition to Italian Villa
A traditional 18th century Italian villa in Genoa gets an unexpected update in the form of a reflective elevator, offering equal access to its upper level without requiring any interior renovation. Sp10 Studio came up with a solution that, while contemporary enough to contrast with the Villa Durazzo Bombrini, is still relatively unobtrusive, reflecting the surrounding gardens.
