Thank you for this great party night!

Architects Stephen Williams Associates have completed a hotel that looks like a shipping warehouse beside the harbour in Hamburg. Named the 25hours Hafencity, the hotel features a ground-floor lounge with gridded markings on the floor and a conference room inside a freight container. Visitors check in at a desk of plywood boxes and can pile up their luggage on industrial trolleys.

Each room comes with a trunk that hinges open to reveal a desk stocked with drinks, a logbook, information packs and electrical sockets. A boxing punch-bag and bespoke sit-up chairs are all that comprises the hotel gym, but neither is sheltered from the rain. The hotel is located in the Hafencity development area in southern Hamburg.

Where They Create gives readers an insight into the working process of some of the most creative minds in the world, including 32 featured studios, Wallpaper*, Clive Wilkinson, Greg Lauren, Opening Ceremony, Fantastic Man, Jeremiah Goodman and more.

Since the Boy & Girl pairing is standard fare for Synthpop it is especially interesting to see (or better: hear) what a band makes with it. Summer Camp is a duo from London (not New York or Stockholm, for a change) that sounds like at least a four-piece: Organic drumming, big guitar or synthesizer melodies, funky bass lines and energetic vocals, often sung as a duet. With a song entitled 1988 they might provoke comparisons with 1980s revival bands like Washed Out, but there also is a load of 1970s soft rock in their sound – a great way to bring a touch of summer to your fall evenings.
