belgian studio dmvA have sent in images of their project 'house vvdb'
in the eighties architect jan van den berghe built his own house on a plot of land,
close to the channel mechelen-brussels.
the roof-type, symmetrical ground plan, wooden structure and the use of cement stone
with many-coloured aluminium joinery, were the main characteristics of this period
building period in flanders. the post-modern pyramid house was a statement for
the seventies/eighties.
architect van den berghe requested dmvA to refurbish his own house for his daughter.
no spectacular alterations, but subtle interventions, round perforations through
the floors, a new central spiral staircase and ‘whitening’ of the floors.
located on the ground floor is the main entrance and the owner's studio - awardt.
on the top floor you’ll find the library. the levels in between consist of the living room,
kitchen and bedrooms. all storeys are connected by the red spiral stairs.

I guess they don't catch (and drink) the rainwater from the roof. I assume the owners don't wear dresses, given the glass flooring. Very nifty.

Though it was impossible to know where the whales had been, Payne said the contamination was embedded in the blubber of males formed in the frigid polar regions, indicating that the animals had ingested the metals far from where they were emitted.

Sperm whales are toothed whales that eat all kinds of fish, even sharks. Dozens have been taken by whaling ships in the past decade. Most of the whales hunted by the whaling countries of Japan, Norway and Iceland are minke whales, which are baleen whales that feed largely on tiny krill.
