Called NESTREST, it is a little suspended sanctuary, the perfect place for relaxation, meditation and open-air conversations. It is made from a new, specially created DeDon Fiber, four centimeters wide, guaranteeing a sturdy and solid weave that is open and breathabl.

The creators are Daniel Pouzet and Fred Frety, two of Paris’s most intriguing design talents.  I personally love this piece of architecture because I can put it in my garden hanged by a tree and read all day.

Where can I find something similar? Does anybody know?

Located on the island of Sentosa in Singapore, the Meera House created by Guz Architects tries to make better the interaction between gardens and your house.

“The plots are not large and neighboring buildings are built close to the sides of each house. Rolling green rooftop gardens grow burgeoning grasses that expand the property’s lawns from each stacked floor. Thus The Guz Architect’s strategy was to build a solid wall to each side neighbor to provide privacy where possible, while creating a central light and stair well which would funnel the sea breeze through the center of the building.”

What a nice eco house!

If you need an independent space from day to day house activities, a little space for reading, playing, listening to music, etc the project that I am going to present next is perfect.

Designed by architect Alberto Gonzalez, the small shelter is easy to make, cheap and will make you as well as your children stay more in the garden.

Also this kind of shelters could be used as kiosks/shops on a beach. Imagine this full with cold beer or ice-cream!

A lot of us, including me are living in small apartments with 2-3 rooms at most and we are always complaining of lack of more space in our homes. But a Hong Kong architect found a solution. He managed to squeeze 24 rooms - including a home cinema and ‘’spa” - into 344 square feet of apartment space.

Check out this video to see how the apartment looks like.

This wild and fantastic design came up by the studios Grant Associates and Gustafson Porter which designed it for an international competition for the Singapore government.

It coveres 101 hectares of land and encompassing a park, the waterscape and a marina. Officially is going to be opened in 2011. I am sure that will be one of the biggest attractions of the year.
