Kindergarten Centered Around a Legendary Tree
At the Fuji Kindergarten in Japan, Tezuka Architects created a unique environment that, as a tool for learning, promotes freedom of movement. "Ring Around a Tree" is the extension of an existing kindergarten that consists of a wood and transparent glass volume spiraling upward, enveloping a Japanese Zelkova tree. The project creates spaces for play and foreign language instruction, while also providing a fun area for the children to wait for the school bus.

Whimsical places exist all over the world. And We Heart is just the place to discover some of them. Check out this awesome new Tokyo restaurant designed by Fantastic Design Works Co. Alice of Magic World – the fourth in a series of eateries based on Lewis Carroll’s creation – is a decidedly trippy affair, complete with custom made heart shaped chandelier and table, playing card tables and its own forest. There’s even Cheshire Cat tail pizza slices on the menu. via We Heart

Energy Seed by Sungwoo Park & Sunhee Kim
Trashing Batteries for Brighter Sidewalks We all know alkaline batteries are really bad for the environment if you don’t dispose of them properly. The right thing to do is send them to special recycling centers but hundreds of tons end up in landfills where their toxic innards seep into the earth. Perhaps a good solution is the Energy Seed, an LED lamp post powered by trashed alkaline batteries. The idea is to encourage people to throw their batteries away into the Energy Seed. There’s a slot for nearly every size battery.
We often show ingenious ways of hiding the bed . French architects Emmanuel Combarel Dominique Marrec offer a new one: turn it into a sculptural element, in this case a box hanging from the ceiling. Watch Video: World's Greenest Homes From the other side, it is a short step up from the existing mezzanine. Nice idea if you have the ceiling height.
Another Way To Hide The Bed: Put It In A Box
Materials: Vikare children's bed Description: After the twins grew out of their baby beds I swapped the beds for two Vikare beds. It was not a comfortable solution as the room is very small. So I decided to build a bunk of the two beds. I took away the shanks and replaced them for four wooden beams.

Materials: Ikea Akurum, Rubrik, Lagan, etc. Description: In this hack, we used a variety of Ikea kitchen cabinet parts/pieces to hack a laundry-nook for a Marin Eichler-built home. We've found the Ikea Akurum line to be very versatile when it comes to hacking. There's also a post somewhere on Ikeahacks about our own laundry-area home office that used trimmed Akurum cabinets and Nexus panels. We tend to take it to the line of near-custom-bult cabinetry which might be at the "high-end" of something considered a "hack", however, the machine-precision of the Akurum hardware affixing points and shelf-peg holes (and overall low material cost) leave the Akurum line a more efficient approach than custom built.
