The Edison, that you can find in the basement of the Higgins Building in LA, was once home to the city’s first power station. Built by brass-baron Thomas Higgins, who had a dream: to move downtown to LA’s then-vacant west part, where Wall Street West is today. Of course, the center of the city was to be his own building, sporting all advances of science: lightning-quick electric elevators, lighting, clean running water.
And now for something entirely different.. Not a loft for sure, but it’s 200% awesome! Capital Hill Residence, designed by famed architect Zaha Hadid brings luxury to the slopes of Barvikha, Russia.
This private villa is situated on the north-face hillside of Barvikha, a luxury village west of Moscow. The area is dotted with luxury dachas and covered by rich vegetation of pine and birch trees that typically grow up to 20m high.
