Balancing Barn.

Wooow... do you believe this??? Well, you should, cause it actually exists in Suffolk, UK. Let me introduce you to this Balancing Barn holiday home, which is made by MVRDV and Mole Architects, including a swing under the 15 metre cantilever. While the architecture is unbelievable, the interior is very nice and comforting.

Sweet Escape.

I was so fed up with work these past few months that I decided to have a short vacation to Singapore to bring back my working appetite. It felt really good actually, having a sweet escape once in a while. And I think it would be fun to share all my findings here. Who knows it will bring something good...^^

The Switch.

I wish it was my apartment that's been renovated by Yuko Shibata. This Switch project was an inspiration and a solution for everyone who's trying to find some space to do your work at home, and pack it up when you're done. It's good for small apartments with not much room left for office work.
The project features one partition that slides out over the dining table to create a meeting room on one side and library on the other.
The green bookcase pivots round at the end of the day to reveal a bedroom.

VitraHaus.

Wow, isn't this amazing? This is VitraHaus by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, which has opened at the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany. The VitraHaus project joins existing buildings on the Vitra campus.

IKON Eastside.

IKON Eastside building at Birmingham Digbeth District. So inspired by the bold and determined "I Am What I am". That big and breezy, I couldn't have forgotten it ^-^.

Drain Pipe Cabin.

Looking for an even weirder adventure into the wild? You might want to stay at this concrete drain pipe cabin. Like comfy little cabins, the accommodations at Dasparkhotel in Austria, consist of three sections of big concrete drain pipe, with a very cool minimalist feel. Your tube will be very private, supplied with 220V power, double bed, skylight window, decorative wall art, a double door and even storage space! So this is a comfortable cabin after all.

Origami House.

There are no limitations in architecture. That's what I think when I saw this. This origami inspired house in Tokyo designed by architect Yasuhiro Yamashita of Atelier Takuto shows off excellent lines and shape without sacrificing form and function. Along with an integrated car port, which balances handsomely on a single point at its base; this innovative design is a fantastic solution plaguing crowded urban cities.

It's a Tree 'Restaurant'.

Starving for a childhood adventure? Naha Harbor Diner in Okinawa, Japan, sure can brings all of your memories back. The good news is, there's an elevator carved inside the tree trunk, ready to take you up directly to the main dining room, So, no, you don't have to climb. ^-^
