Overlooking some of the best mountain views in Austria, this 45-square-meter house designed by Peter Jungmann is a fully-furnished and functional home set on a hillside in the village of Nussdorf just outside of Vienna. Playfully taking its name from a combination of the words 'UFO' and 'Vogel,' which means bird in German, Ufogel is set on structural stilts and was commissioned by a family as a holiday house that would capitalize on the spectacular views available while having as little impact on the natural environmental as possible. While fairly minimalistic in style, the compact house has all the comforts of a traditional one.

The living space has a multitude of windows that provide light to every part of the home without sacrificing personal privacy. For those who are looking for a unique and stylish getaway that does not skimp on the view, the house is now available to rent year round. The stainless feels pro, while the wood stove is rustic and timeless. Ingenious Apartment Idea: Charlie’s Studio. The American television series,”Girls” has a very inspirational idea when it comes about home design: Charlie’s Studio, a tiny apartment turned into one amazing little space.

The studio was designed by Laura Ballinger Gardner – designer for the show. “Her team built Charlie’s wall storage unit, had it pigmented to achieve Mondrian-esque color blocks, and filled it with guitars and what seems like an impressive vinyl collection…” The concept sketches by Anne Allen Goelz sell in space and show how much you really can do in an itty-bitty space. The apartment has birch plywood furniture, the bed is tucked under the raised platform and the clothes can be stored in more birch casework. ” The sconces were a vintage find; most of the lighting in the apartment is from Ikea.” The layered rugs hide the cheap, contractor-grade linoleum floor. “Those toolboxes by the front door are quite expensive,” Gardner said. They are Gerstner & Sons pieces, “very beautiful, American-made wood toolboxes. The Prana Solar Cooker. This new stylish design for a Prana Solar Cooker is a creation of the eco designer João Tomaz.

It comprises of an insulated box surrounded by reflective panels and a glass top to allow the sunlight in this way is able to reach temperatures inside of 140º C / 284º F perfect for cooking on the summer using only the Sun as energy source saving money and the environment. Solar cooking is a form of outdoor cooking and is often used in situations where minimal fuel consumption is important. As the cookers are low-tech devices and generally relatively cheap – because they use no fuel and cost nothing to operate – many non-profit organizations are promoting their use worldwide in order to help reduce air pollution, the deforestation caused by gathering firewood for cooking, and fuel costs for lower income people.

This king device works just like a greenhouse trapping the Sun rays inside and keeping the heat inside using of double layer insulation. Breathing Relaxing Techniques | Do something.

Vlasnici ove kuće su dvoje umetnika, Bojan Jovanović i Smilja Ignjatović.

Kuća je nastala kao proizvod dvogodišnjeg proučavanja svih mogućih metoda alternativnog graditeljstva sa posebnim akcentom na earthship.

Young couple quit jobs to build this glass house for $500. Plenty of natural sunlight isn't an unusual quality of a dream home. But what about a home built completely of glass so the light would never be hidden? For a pair of young artists, a beautiful sunset and a thoughtful conversation led to the construction of a breathtaking retreat in mountainous West Virginia.

Photographer Nick Olson, 27, who works with old-fashioned labor-intensive photographic processes, and designer Lilah Horwitz, 23, who makes "site-specific clothing," met at an artist’s residency in Pennsylvania. Early on in their relationship, Olson invited Horwitz to join him on a trip to his family’s property in southern West Virginia. One evening, the two went on a walk in the woods that resulted in an artistic vision. While the sun began to sink behind a hill, the couple began talking about how amazing the light appeared at that moment. What if, they pondered, there could be a living space where light changed based on the time of day? Young couple quit jobs to build this glass house for $500.

While owning a firearm for protection isn’t the worst idea in the world, figuring out where to store the gun where it’s easily accessible by you and no one else can be a challenge. Unless you have the Gun Box. This stylish handgun storage box is made from aircraft strength aluminum alloy, and offers either a biometric fingerprint scanner, an RFID scanner and matching wristband, or both, that allow access to the gun inside. And since it’s designed to live on a dresser or nightstand, it also features dual USB ports for charging up gadgets, a Kensington lock port, optional GPS for added security, and mounting holes if you’re looking to give it a permanent home. To me it looks like a wireless router or a modem. Place it next to your bed or on your desk in your home office. So, instead of a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day, I would like this Gun Box! The Floating mug by Tigere Chiriga.

In December of 2008, I had just relocated to North Carolina from New York when I came up with the idea of a "floating mug".

So I'm a huge tea drinker, and I have come across numerous designs for cups that have some kind of built in coaster, however, the design's fell short of what I was looking for. After a great deal of research, I managed to find and work with a manufacturer in China to create the original prototype mugs for me, which I've been using for the past few years. I was fortunate, enough to discover Kickstarter recently and have realized the opportunity for me to see if this is a mug people really like. The money pledged will be used to manufacture a master mold of both the mug and and the handle. 11 Refrigerator Hacks for the Most Organized Fridge of Your Life! 1 of 3 11 Refrigerator Hacks for the Most Organized Fridge of Your Life!

Rammed Earth Construction. When you build a sand castle, you pack dirt into buckets that will form the sand castle's structure.

You might even have fancy buckets for creating turrets, brickwork and domes. Then comes the hard part -- flipping the bucket and removing the form so that what remains is a structure fit for a king, or at the very least, a sand crab. Home Design Image Gallery Rammed earth homes are like building sand castles without that tricky step of flipping the bucket. This method of building has a long history. After the U.S. But what are the benefits of living in a rammed earth home?
