House

The home of Simone Carena and Jihye Shin in Seoul, South Korea, looks like a traditional Korean house, or hanok, but it is anything but traditional on the inside. To make the small house feel as spacious as possible — and to bring the outdoors inside — Mr. Carena, an architect, created a U-shaped floor plan that allows the kitchen and living room to look out onto a courtyard, where an apricot tree grows. A window in the courtyard floor, framed with mirrors, lets light into a cellar room.

Aluminium bos
Designer: Abbink de Haas
Location: Netherlands
The aluminum center is located in the tops of the Aluminum Forest, above the thin strains changing Dutch and reflect light filter. Silently crosses the glass elevator to six meters high space between the surface and the silver aluminum box. Outside the wind rushing by hundreds of slender columns plays. Within locks sunny patio light, air, space and heat in the right direction.
