So unless the space is a problem, most homes would have a guest room or a separate guest house for their visitors, a place where they can feel welcomed during their visits. Everyone wants their guests to feel welcomed into their home but not everyone has the space necessary to build a guest house, or at least not a very big one. But what about a tiny guest house? It doesn’t have to be big in order to feel cozy and inviting. These examples will convince you: Hornby Island Caravans. This cheerful structure is the perfect example to start with.

Small Cabin - Plan, Build and Enjoy your Small Cabin Suburban Nomad: Hybrid Igloo, Yurt, Tent + Tipi Home Idea The juxtaposition of such lifestyle extremes – fixed-space suburban living and nomadic world-travel dwelling – makes for a fascinating conceptual challenge. It was, in fact, similarly neighboring opposites that gave rise to the idea in the mid of design student living on a lovely nature-filled campus but surrounded by suburbia on all sides. John Paananen took it upon himself to discover what would happen if he were to make over one of the most mobile kinds of traditional buildings – the tipi, with inspiration from its yurt, tent and igloo cousins – turning it into a stationary home with all of the creature comforts to be found in contemporary suburbs. Instead of a portable and organically-evolved design, he chose to force-fit the general shape and style of a conventional nomadic dwelling into the space and settings. The results?
$1000 Egg House on Wheels for a Working Urban Architect The newly-graduated architect rarely has the luxury of living in an owned home, and may even find their starting salary insufficient to afford a decent apartment within walking (or riding) distance of the office. For a three-figure sum, this designer has solved both problems at once via a unique DIY dwelling project. Dai Haifei needed to save money and spent so much time at work anyway, the solution was strange but simple: construct a livable abode that can be wheeled and parked in the empty space right outside of the workplace. It isn’t much – just a bed, a lamp and a water tank inside – but it is sufficient for someone trying to save and scrape together a living. These burlap bags, layered over a waterproof membrane, provide essential rain protection – particularly as the root systems expand and help soak up and redirect water during more significant downfalls (while a small skylight-plus-solar-panel brings in light and power).

The not so super side. There’s Batman and Robin making out like there’s no tomorrow, Wonder Woman stuffing her bra, even Superman picking his nose! Via: coolmaterial.com
Miniature Sculptures Make Their Way Back to the Beach Artist Anna Gillespie creates thought-provoking sculptures of the human form and its delicate relationship with nature. We saw this first with Taste the Rain, her ongoing series of surreal sculptures created from the material of fallen trees, and then again with pieces like Woodsman, Abundance, and Homage. We just got sent these photos of several pieces created by Gillespie back in 2011. They were each beautifully shot by photographer Colin Hawkins, at England's Berrow Sands. The stunning works were created using material found right on the beach including everything from a burnt pallet and driftwood to a large piece of seaworn bone. After creating her contemplative figures in her studio, Gillespie brought them back the beach, to their places of origin. While the sculptor likes to leave her work open for interpretation, she does say that she hopes that they conjure up " a sense of being a bystander, having to watch from a distance as the effects of global warming unfold."
