More Design Tricks for Tight Living Spaces: A Camper with a Sliding Bathroom

In an earlier post, we showed you four nifty interior design tricks by German RV manufacturer Bürstner. One of them was this bathroom where the sink slides over the toilet, turning the space into a shower.

They've pushed this idea even further with their Habiton camper van.

Now the entire bathroom itself slides, in addition to just the sink. When the bathroom is in its forward position, it provides enough space behind it to have two full-length twin beds.

There's also a third sleeping location within the heated pop-up roof.

Ström Architects reduces Barcelona House "to its most essential elements"

A fully-glazed corner offers panoramic views of Barcelona and the Balearic Sea at this coastal home, designed by UK studio Ström Architects as a reference to California's modernist Case Study Houses.

Named Barcelona House, the home was created for a client who tasked the studio with taking a "quiet luxury approach", creating spaces that focus attention on the surrounding views rather than the architecture itself.

"The idea was not to add unnecessary layers of detail or distraction, but instead to reduce the house to its most essential elements," studio founder Magnus Ström told Dezeen.

"The experience of being there...

UK's longest railway bridge reaches completion for HS2

The 3.4-kilometre-long Colne Valley viaduct by architecture studio Grimshaw has reached completion in the south of England, becoming the UK's longest railway bridge.

Traversing the Colne Valley near the village of Denham, the structure takes the title of the UK's longest railway bridge from the Tay Bridge between Fife and Dundee, which had held it since 1887.

Once in use, the viaduct will carry high-speed trains belonging to the controversial HS2 network at a speed of 321 kilometres per hour, passing over roads and waterbodies northwest of London.

The Colne Valley viaduct was designed by Grimshaw, with...

"People don't see the UK as being very sexy" says Brompton Design District curator Alex Tieghi-Walker

London has undeservedly fallen off the radar for the international design community, gallerist Alex Tieghi-Walker tells Dezeen in this interview ahead of London Design Festival, where he is curating one of the main design districts.

The Welshman behind buzzy New York design gallery Tiwa Select is returning to the UK to take the mantle of Brompton Design District curator for next week's festival – a role previously held by Jane Withers for 18 consecutive years.

He brings with him something of an outsider's perspective, having moved to the US in 2016 after cutting his teeth in London's publishing scene, first at Wallpaper*...

Нажмите кнопку, которой нет

Рассмотрим такой пример:

Здесь нам предлагают нажать кнопку, которой нет. Смешно, но это классика, таких скриншотов у меня несколько из разных продуктов. Иногда это просто кривизна перевода, но часто — как здесь — просто бардак в процессе разработки, когда редакторы, дизайнеры и программисты ничего друг о друге не знают и вообще работают в разных часовых поясах.

Как же решить эту проблему? Ну типа, всегда же может случиться ошибка? Это же не специально.

А ответ простой: никогда не нужно в интерфейсе призывать нажать на кнопку по её названию. Это само по себе означает дебильный дизайн, даже если всё внимательно проверили и такая кнопка на экране есть.

Нахрена объяснять, для чего жать на кнопку? Я что, по названию кнопки не пойму? Чтобы дать доступ, нужно нажать на кнопку «Дать доступ», чтобы продолжить — на кнопку «Продолжить», а чтобы...
