The vision of Sri Lankan-based architect and 3D artist Thilina Liyanage, Ocean cabin is (or rather, would be) an oceanfront retreat ‘at the edge of the world’.
Accessed by a stairway wrapped around a massive rock. the cabin itself is an A-Frame supported by stilts featuring a living space with a sleeping mezzanine above. Clearly it’s all about the view and so, true to the axiomatic triplet of real estate, what really matters is location, location, location.
Behold: the Director House (aka, ‘The Director Will Be Here Shortly’) a design by Egyptian architect Mahmoud Sherif.
Looking like Tony Stark’s Scandi hideaway (or a gigantic PS5), this brutalist concrete abode perches on a cliff edge overlooking Reynisfjara beach (you’ll recall it from Game Of Thrones’) on the rugged southern coast of Iceland.
A sci-fi film location waiting to happen, if it ever gets built, which it really should.
Behold: the entirely conceptual Bugatti Hypertruck – a vision of what could (but almost certainly won’t ever) be by designer Prathyush Devadas of Chinese auto firm Dongfeng.
The front of the eight-wheeler adopts the luxury brand’s signature ‘C-line’- with the drivers cab suspended inside. The prow, redolent of a futuristic steam-engine’s cow-catcher signifies progress and utility though, in fairness, none of this really signifies anything.
Still. Cool truck, yeah?
The ultra sleek futurescapes of Austrian digital artists Peter Olschinsky and Verena Weiss.
Behold: the BMW Garmisch – an automotive concept designed by the legendary Marcello Gandini, who created the Lamborghini Miura, Countach, Lancia Stratos, and the original BMW 5-series.
Launched at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show, lost for 50 years and always regarded by BMW as a ‘missing link’ in its design history, the vehicle is being re-released in collaboration with Gandini – hand-built in Turin like its predecessor and with the same angular twin kidney grille, square headlights, louvred c-pillar and honeycombed rear window cover.
Behold: the Tesla Model P. Or rather, a pre-launch tease from the drawing board of Turkish auto designer Enre Husmen.
For now, pricing and specifications remain a mystery but the chunky electric truck will be launched formally later this year.
More pix here.
Behold; the Technicon Carat 187 superyacht by Technicon Design – an inexplicable (possibly promotional) 57 metre ultra luxury concept inspired by ‘the world of the red carpet’ with a dramatic pair of articulated stairs reaching out to two matching tenders docked either side.
Yours in your dreams.
Behold: the Lamborghini Urus ST-X – a lighter, stronger, racing version of the Urus SUV.
The twin turbo V8 640bhp special edition is still in concept phase but will debut later this year, going into production in 2020.
Behold: the Project Valkyrie Superyacht – just a concept for now but soon to be the world’s biggest luxury yacht.
Designed by Chulhun Park and Palmer Johnson, the massive 229m trimaran vessel, capable of a nippy 25 knots top speed – will accommodate 52 guests and 92 crew with a casino, theatre, mall, restaurants, and exhibition halls.
Estimated build cost: (drum roll…) €710,000,000.
