Oas1s – a house that is green with soul and body

Can you imagine living in a city surrounded only by greenery, with flowers and vegetables growing right on your facade? This is the vision of the Danish architect Raimond de Hullu, which he translated into the Oas1s house, a self-sufficient house that is "green" in both senses of the word, as a green building (it is more than just a low-energy and passive house) and actually, since the facade is overgrown with vegetation. The Dane used biomimicry in the architectural design, as the house, which measures 6 x 6 x 12 meters, imitates trees.

Christian Richter: extraordinary photographs of abandoned buildings

Every city has them, namely abandoned buildings. Those sad images that decay before the eyes of the public. Houses of spirits. Nevertheless, there is something magical in this decay, rotting and reeking of the building's "corpse". And even if the ravages of time siphon the juices of life from them, life, energy, and above all stories still flow in them. These, told by abandoned and decaying buildings scattered across Europe, are documented by Christian Richter.

Akrafjorden: A hunting lodge in the middle of a pristine Norwegian fjord

All visitors to the Norwegian fjords, more precisely the Akrafjorden fjord, are richer for the wonderful mountain or hunting lodge of the same name, which is located in the heart of wild nature. In spite of the fact that the shelter took only 35 square meters of space from nature, thanks to the ingenious arrangement of the beds, which are also seats, it can offer overnight accommodation to as many as 21 visitors to the fjord. They are arranged in a circle around the floating fireplace. The roof is covered with moss, and the house is clad in stone and wood to blend in with the idyllic and untouched surroundings.

Moonlight Cabin – a simple cabin bathed in moonlight

Moonlight Cabin is a minimalistic oceanfront retreat in Victoria, Australia. The cabin is designed in such a way that we can enjoy the fleeting moments offered by its natural surroundings as much as possible.
