Nameless Architecture has completed the Café Teri bakery in Daejeon, South Korea, in a pair of buildings that flow into a central courtyard.
Readers have been excited by the skateboarding potential of the project, calling it a "skaters' paradise" that "looks fun to board" and "instantly makes me want to learn how to skate".
One commenter went so far as to wonder: "Did a skater design this?"
Other stories in this week's newsletter include the news that Bernheimer Architecture will be the first US private-sector architecture studio to unionize, David Kohn's red-brick country house trimmed in bright green, and two projects from BIG to commemorate Queen Margrethe II of Denmark's jubilee – a public installation and a silver necklace with Georg Jensen.
Dezeen Debate also features Hebra Arquitectos' house on a hill overlooking a valley in Chile and Hybrid's wood and weathering-steel duplex in Seattle.
