One of only three Radisson RED hotels in the UK is due to open this month (September) after a £20m refurbishment of an iconic 150-years old Grade II listed building.

Villa M, whose architectural conception and art direction of the spaces is signed by Philippe Starck in collaboration with Triptyque architecture, aims to create a new pact between cities, nature and health.

The refurbishment of the historic Rusacks St Andrews hotel, which overlooks Scotland’s hallowed Old Course Links and is a monument to golf and its founders, has benefited from Waterloo’s stylish, high quality air distribution products.

With many people now choosing to bring their own hair dryers into hotel rooms due to inferior products being offered, VORTICE has updated its longstanding Vort Dry hair dryer with some clever tweaks.

This reclaimed hotel floats south of the Australian external territory in the Indian Ocean. Here, an increase in plastic pollution has damaged ecosystems to the Cocos (Keeling) archipelago, trapping and killing hermit crabs amongst the crustaceans that are an important part of tropical environments. This sealife disperses seeds and aerates and fertilises the soil, therefore, their decline could have a significant impact on surrounding ecosystems.

Baca Architects has released visuals of a floating island, the design of which was inspired by the water lilies that abound in the surrounding lake. The island will comprise units of holiday apartments and forms part of Baca’s master plan for Ashwicken Lake, a proposed new eco-resort in Norfolk, UK, which has recently been submitted for planning.
