Bookshelf that hides extra furniture is small-apartment genius
25 Jun
If, like me, you have ever lived in a small apartment, you know that there is no good place to put furniture that you need sometimes but not all the time (like extra chairs). Therefore, Orla Reynolds is my new hero. Her furniture emerges "as if from nowhere" -- her bookshelves hide a table and four extra chairs.

5 amazing spaces with surprising ways to stay cool
22 Jun
Going to an outdoor event during the steamy months of summer generally involves packing a miniature fan and slathering yourself in sunscreen, as most venues do little to shade attendees in the cheap seats. This is something Wolfgang Kessling, of the German climate engineering firm Transsolar, would like to change. In a talk at the TEDxSummit in Doha, Kessling describes the challenge of designing an open-air stadium in Qatar…
The coolest tiny home we've seen recently has a giant hole in the roof
19 Jun
The key to small-space living is not feeling cramped, which makes this Barcelona apartment the pinnacle of the genre. The home uses sliding doors to open the 430-square-foot apartment up for a sense of space, or close it for privacy. But the centerpiece of the house is the hole in the ceiling -- a plant-filled half-outdoor shower that's built like a chimney, open to the sky.

Although Apple seems to want to forget all about that sad, dark time when their logo featured all the colors of the rainbow, this iPhone mod - really an aluminium back plate - will bring those memories rushing back. You can swap out the plate simply by unscrewing the two small screws at the bottom of your phone and a four bucks more gets you a glowing, translucent rainbow logo.

Idaho Lake Cabin

Olson Kundig Architects founded this Idaho cabin on low maintenance materials — steel, concrete block, concrete floors and plywood— in harmony with the idea of a traditional cabin.

Wooden light bulb is the most magical-looking LED bulb we've seen
22 May
There are all kinds of futuristic-looking energy-efficient light bulbs on the market -- not just the traditional piggy-tail model, but liquid-cooled bulbs that look like glass jellyfish, and bulbs with gills like a mushroom or fins like a Cadillac. But for our money, this wooden bulb by artist Ryosuke Fukusada is the most beautiful energy-efficient light fixture going. (And yes, it really is a light fixture.)

The site is located near the center of Tokyo. It is a small 44 m² corner plot bounded by two streets.

Summerhouse in Austria
15 May
I've become a fan of wooden architecture. Can't imagine a healthier living environment than that. Here is a barn style house in Southern Burgenland (Austria), which also contains rooms for wine production (very common in that area) and a cellar.
As the house is not inhabited during winter months, it is possible to shut down the whole house with folding and flap shutters.
