Reminder to be inspired!

You've never seen buildings like this. The stunning bamboo homes built by Elora Hardy and her team in Bali twist, curve and surprise at every turn. They defy convention because the bamboo itself is so enigmatic. No two poles of bamboo are alike, so every home, bridge and bathroom is exquisitely uniq…

I'm always gravitating towards mountain houses, dreaming of my own craggy plot of land...

The use of modern technology and new treatment methods have started a new chapter in Finnish wood architecture. Lauri Louekari´s 55,5 m² Villa Valtanen won a respected wood prize, ”A Log House of the Year” by Puuwoodholzbois.

I really love wood, wish my clients loved it as much as me, and am planning on using a lot of wood in my garage addition.

Challenging the idea of "bridge." Love it!

The Dutch were less concerned with cultivating a proprietary architectural style than with forging landscapes conducive to their seafaring trade, draining rivers and reclaiming land and building d***s and canal...

"Green" architecture :)

Last month we shared a story on the 100-foot long tree bridges grown by Nongriat locals in Meghalaya, India. These extraordinary pieces of organic infrastructure are part of a 500-year-old tradition, and had Gaudí seen these, we think the Sagrada Família may well have been fashioned out of a redwood...
