This is Jikka, a charming retirement home designed by architect Issei Suma. The tipi-like design mimics the surrounding mountainous landscape, while inside it offers modern comforts perfect for those looking for some relaxation in their old age.

Sinister Architecture - Buildings for villains

The famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the greatest architectural pioneers of the 20th century, once said that the environment and architecture should merge with each other.

New bivouac on Kanin – a vertical winter room with a dreamy view

Lately, new bivouacs have been growing like mushrooms after the rain in the Slovenian mountains. Let's remember. Recently, we got a phenomenal bivouac under Skuta, and a new bivouac II at Jezeri in the Julian Alps, and on Kanin, a vertically designed bivouac, located in the immediate vicinity of Dom Petr Skalar, has recently been attracting attention. Just like Skutin, he was also 'curved' by the design bureau OFIS Arhitekti. Nine people can sleep in the winter room.

Spire London: A skyscraper in the shape of a male genital organ is growing in London

Although there is already a skyscraper in London, which was quickly renamed 'crystal phallus' and 'erotic pickle', this is apparently not an obstacle to the construction of another high-rise building, which in its shape resembles a male genital organ. With 67 floors, Spire London will be the tallest residential building in Western Europe, and because of its shape, it has already been given various names that insinuate the male genital organ.

Greek architectural mirage "Villa F" on the island of Rhodes

The thing with architecture is that it must inspire and at the same time functionally transfer its useful essence to the environment. The Greek mirage struck us on the romantic island of Rhodes, where a villa was created with the simple name F, which hides its design, which imitates the letter F. From the architectural pen of Hornung & Jacobi architects, a desirable object was created that invites you to some other story of life.
