Villa Dall’ava, Paris, France.


Villa Dall’ava by Rem Koolhaas and The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) was completed way back in 1991. It was designed for a family of three with seperate ‘apartments’ one for the parents and one for their daughter. The client who wished for a swimming pool on their roof alse specifically requested full panoramic views (from their pool) of the surrounding landscape and city of Paris where the Villa is located.

The site is like a big room, with a boundary made of greenery, garden walls and slopes. It is composed of three parts: a sloping garden, the main volume of the villa, the street level garage with access in a cavity.

They are joined by the swimming pool which rests on the concrete structure encased by the glass pavilion.

  35. What happens if I m being nice to somebody on Craigslist but they report me
    anyway? The instant the other guy said “Not interested” you should really have stopped communicating.
    The “Stop texting” one is crystal clear and has no possible ambiguity.
    If you have sent one more message (making two, after the very clear instruction to stop) he could have filed a police complaint…
    show more That sounds absurd and the context of the message is
    non threatening from your side. Just ignore it and move on. Craigslist will not ban your account over
    something that stupid and if they do make a new one, as for the police lmao that’s just fkin stupid….
    Yes hello I have a emergency I posted a ad about
    fish on Craigslist… Yes sir gold fish….. Yes… And now someone wants to get the fish…

    But I know they are not real fish lovers and they texted me what do you
    mean I am not a real person who likes fish? So I said no you are
    not I am calling the cops because you asked and here we are…..

    911 operator: sir stop calling us about your stupid fkin fish ad or we will
    fine you for wasting our time and resources you damn wierd hermit MTHA
    /-/%=-%%. And there you have it that’s what would happen

Captain Feline employs anthropomorphism to blend pop culture with cats. The results are a collection of fun t-shirts and limited edition art prints – purr-fect for displaying a combined love of cats and cult movie characters!
