Love the corners and no gutters nor visible downspouts. The thatched roof on the adjacent structure is a nice compliment too. Read more here.
Artist’s Studio - Ryan Lender Architecture
Very nice transformation. Check out the before an after pics here.

Everything seems to fit nicely into this small envelope. Check out more about this tiny project here.
Riverbend - Elora Hardy (Ibuku Architecture)
Beautiful organic bamboo projects. See more here.
Bent Wood Sculpture by SoomeenHahn Design
Impressive steam-bent sculpture in Art Pavilion (Estonia). See more here by the London-based team that designed it.

Excellent solution for a temporary structure. Check out more by Juaçaba here.

Stepping House - Vo Trong Nghia Architects (Vietnam)
I really like how much this group uses vegetation, light, and circulation. See this and more projects here.
Netting
Fun solution possibly for playrooms, bedrooms, storage, etc. allowing light to the areas below.
Haunted Houses
Happy Halloween!
Aino Aalto - Architect (1894-1949)
Pioneering Finnish architect, she collaborated with husband Alvar Aalto on multiple projects. Read more here.

Knoll not only helped define 50s modern furniture and systems, but championed that designers be credited for their work. Read more here. Always Be Knolling
Cool School in Tanzania - Asante Architecture
This project was worked on by Swedish Architects/Engineers Without Borders. The off-grid buildings are powered with solar energy and harvest rainwater in a system inspired by the African baobab tree. Read more about this here.
Finnish Cabins - Aleksi Hautamaki & Milla Selkimaki
These sustainable spaces use the same Finnish sauna stove to heat both the running water and radiant floors. Solar PV takes care of their electrical needs. With the cold weather coming in, I’m a bit distracted by the idea of a wood stove. See more about this project here.
Mobius
Interesting design, convincing rendering from Warsaw, Poland based designers. See more by this firm here.
Thatch
Here’s an interesting Croatian project combining traditional thatching with modern design. Check out more about this project here.
Vincent Van Duyse - Belgian Architect
I love the crisp roofline and edge detailing on this barn. See more about this project here.
Stefano Boeri - Architect/Urban Planner
Boeri designed this elevated pathway that is to be constructed under Renzo Piano’s bridge in Geneo, Italy. The tower is a wind turbine for generating power to nearby buildings. See more about this project here.
The Shed (NYC)
The Shed is a major collaborative project worked on by several architects/designers/etc. over a decade. It’s quite an engineering feat too, as the outer shell extends to double the building’s volume and many of the (int./ext.) walls are movable to transform spaces. Check out 4min. animated video here. Thanks again to Dan Sjogren at Sjotime Industries for sharing this.
