    Door wins architecture award



    The Architectural Review’s Emerging Architecture Awards, sponsored by Ramboll and Austin-Smith:Lord, celebrates the best pieces of design by young architects from across the world. The door alone to this diamond merchant’s residence in Surat, India, was judged enough to make it one of the four prize winners this year.

    I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

        Yeah, very fancy piece of engineering. All the counterbalance and shit is built into the pivot of the door. There's a picture of what looks like an inverted staircase on the page as well.

                      Unfortunately this is the nearest thing but how mad are those stairs!



                      Imagine doing a Fear and Loathing in that house
