Generator Hostel could easily be mistaken for an art gallery

Many hostels around the world are known for deviating from established notions of tourist accommodation. A good example is the Slovenian hostel Celica, which is far from the only one famous for its unique concept. Berlin's Generator Hostel also "invented" its own style, using the trompe-l'oeil (French term for "fooling the eye") technique for the interior, an ancient illusionistic technique that confuses the eye.

Home: how little space means big life

Home is where the heart is, not where the house has two bedrooms. Or better yet.. A little space, a little worry. Lots of space, lots of care. So you could sort of paraphrase the saying 'small children, small worries - big children, big worries'. It is already the case that we have been implanted in our heads with the idea that a small apartment is synonymous with a difficult life, that those who do not have much money live in it, or those who live from hand to mouth. Large apartments, generous with space, are what we long for. The fact is that happiness in life is not directly proportional to square meters. A small home can have everything we need (see gallery), while at the same time allowing us to focus on the things in life that are really important.

Casa Invisible: An invisible house has grown in Prekmurje, but no one knows where!

In Prekmurje, the invisible house Casa Invisible of the Delugan Meissl architectural office from Austria, which is known for creating so-called architecture in living, has grown. This is exactly what the aforementioned residential unit embodies, and two such prototypes were recently installed in Fikšinci in Prekmurje (yes, we exaggerated a bit in the title). These types of mobile units with an area of 50 square meters, which the client can design according to his wishes, are said to be a favorable alternative to the construction of classic houses. How does it look? It depends on the "mood" of the day, the surroundings and the weather.
