Paris studio Plan01 Architects have completed a crematorium in Rennes, France, featuring a series of circular structures surrounded by a ring of granite blocks. Called Rennes Métropole Crematorium, the circular form is a recurrent theme throughout the building and its surrounding landscape, intended to reference the life cycle. The architect's intention was to avoid imposing paths
At the Nhow Marseille hotel in France, Teresa Sapey Studio designed a 720-foot-long corridor connecting the restaurant to the pool that also functions as the all-day Tunnel lounge.
The columns in this modern restaurant's dining room have been wrapped in wood slats, hiding the column within, and turning a potential eyesore into a custom design accent.
