The Hydro Hammock offers a new level of enjoyment and fun. And there are probably few of you who see the untapped potential in a hammock, but Benjamin H Frederick did. That's why he made a hammock that can also be a hot tub. This one, for the sake of it, is not that much bigger or heavier, but if you want to carry a portable water heater and a pump as well, you can't really put it in a backpack, but like the suitcase on wheels it belongs to, you shouldn't have it to transport/carry around unnecessarily. You can find it on Kickstarter.

A multi-functional wooden cabin on the coast of Norway that has brought a touch of the modern and progressive to an ancient fishing village is one of those architectural marvels that have the power to transform the area where they stand.
Surrealist architecture and nature don't seem made for each other at first glance, but Dionisio González had just such a vision. He embodied it in the Trans-actions series, which contains a collection of imaginary surrealist buildings - from an observatory, work spaces, hydraulic structures and a stationary zeppelin - placed in a natural environment, next to which the thought from the first sentence seems less logical. Opposites attract.
Design studio OoDesign has created transparent vases that float on water and create the illusion of waves, while the flowers allow an upright posture. Why? Because it's not just candles and flowers that deserve this honor.
Although Beyoncé has a huge influence on a large number of people through her music, you wouldn't think that a pop star would become an inspiration for design in architecture…
Kopališče Kolezija at Gunduličeva 7 in Ljubljana, which was last renovated in the 70s of the last century before its present-day modern appearance, has come back to life these days.
Some dog houses are real dog residences, but not every modern design strives for bombast and technical accessories. Puphaus belongs to the category of minimalist dog houses for man's best friend. It was designed by the Atlantic design studio Pyramd Design Co. and imitates this kind of architecture of modern buildings.
Oh, that watering of flowers. Why do we never remember? Well, now you won't have to either. But not because of an application that would benevolently remind you that it's time to treat your houseplants to a drop of water, but rather a plant trough with a self-watering system.
It is true that usually the construction of churches takes many years, but the charming "Tree Church" in New Zealand took four years to grow. And literally. It is made from trees that Brian Cox planted on his property. Long or not, the "construction" took as long as the trees took, and the result is absolutely wonderful. "Construction work" on the building included watering and pruning.
If you belong to the category of those who have a hard time getting up in the morning, falling asleep and being late for work or school, here is the solution for you. The Clocky alarm clock will not allow you to get an extended sleep by running away.
Coolers are also a mandatory part of summer equipment for camping and lying on the beach. But if you don't carry it just a few meters away, it quickly becomes a burden along with the umbrella, towels and other equipment, especially if you want to retreat to a more remote or hidden corner. If you don't want to lose your hand or your mini-wheel, consider the ATC All Terrain Cooler by Igloo, which you can easily carry over grass and stubble.
The World Architecture Festival 2015 (World Architecture Festival, WAF), which this time takes place in Singapore, will not announce the winning architectural solution until November, so all the nominees are already known.
