About Parfois

If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio. But it's not up to us. Stumbling the web we often bump into things worth sharing. The world wide web is so full off great things that will never end up in our portfolio, but which we want the world to see. For this we created our blog. At this moment there are 4 of us blogging on a regular basis. Work, studies and social life makes that there are weeks with a lot of posts, and weeks without. But we'll do our best in bringing you the nicest shit on a acceptable basis.

CRANELOFT is an alternative habitation into an existing port crane. It is a project that uses reuse as a tool of creting achitecture. Reuse has two layers. The first layer is the one of the design itself and the reuse of the port crane to “carry” the house. The second layer is the one of the infrastructures and giving new use into dead -because of deindustrialization- urban areas.CRANELOFT is an “low-cost, autonomous, self-sufficient possible proposal of an alternative habitation with global character”.

Yorgos Rimenidis and Michalis Softas are master students in the department of architecture, university of Thessaly, Greece. Visit the complete project here:
