Miniature Homes In Trees Perfect For Tiny People And Elves

Miniature Homes In Trees Perfect For Tiny People And Elves 1

Aww! Cutest idea ever.

These animated gif images are created by 21-year-old Boston, MA based illustrator Daniel Barreto. The small dwellings are carved into the nooks and crannies of trees deep in the woods. Their windows glowing with light and flickering in the dark snowy night beg the question “Who lives here? Who are these tiny creatures?”

Revolution ( Life Cycle of a Drop of Water)

The video depicts the revolutionary nature of the life cycle of a droplet of water and it’s cyclical journey. The project was a three-fold collaboration between myself, Helen Friel and Jess Deacon. From the original idea, through the creative development and process, our individual skill sets enabled the project to spring to life.

A 51 meter Trampoline Installed in a Russian Forest

Posted on December 4, 2012 by LauraJul

As part of the 2012 Archstoyanie festival in Nikola-Lenivets, Russia, design company Salto created this gargantuan trampoline installation called Fast Track. Measuring nearly 51 meters (170 ft.) the bouncy road is nearly the length of a city block.

“Fast Track is a integral part of park infrastructure, it is a road and an installation at the same time. It challenges the concept of infrastructure that only focuses on technical and functional aspects and tends to be ignorant to its surroundings. “Fast track” is an attempt to create intelligent infrastructure that is emotional and corresponds to the local context. It gives the user a different experience of moving and perceiving the environment”, the designers say.

Leed Certified Tree Top Accommodations in Ontario, Canada

Posted on November 27, 2012 by LauraJul

The concept and excitement of LEED may not mean a whole lot to some, but to the E’terra Samara eco-resort in Ontario, Canada, it is a big deal. So much of a big deal that the resort is going to be installing twelve new rooms on the premise of their Gold LEED standard in the coming months.

Nestled among the treetops at E’terra Samara, Farrow Partnership Architects put together the plans and designs for the one bedroom villas set to overlook the gorgeous Georgian Bay. The exterior is a shapely, futuristic swooping silhouette complete with an answer for all weather conditions and a tree incorporated to the interior of each space. Compost toilets and gray water showers are also on the FFE list of these amazing LEED spaces.

Guatemala based Casa Corallo by Paz Architectura

Posted on October 17, 2012 by LauraJul

OMG! I’m lost for words. How stunning is this!

Preservation of existing nature might be something that’s more prevalent in countries outside of the United States, and this Guatemalan home – created by Paz Architectura – is one of the structures that was worked around an existing forrest of the city’s Santa Rosalía area.

While the front portion of the home appears to drop off into the abyss, the rest of it actually shoots down multiple levels into the forest while the tree that is seen at the top of the house moves through each floor of the interior. The views from the inside are likely even more stunning than Casa Corallo’s natural exterior – with tree lined views from every floor to ceiling window in each room.

The Brain by Olson Kundig Architects

Posted on September 9, 2012 by LauraJul

The ultimate inventor’s paradise resides in the woods of Seattle, Washington– and it’s called “The Brain.”

Designed by Olson Kundig Architects, this space is 14,280 cubic feet and is less of a workshop and more of a place for thinking. The client is a film writer who looks to various outlets for ideas and solutions to current and upcoming creative works. Essentially, it is a gigantic concrete structure with metal paned floor to ceiling glazing and a lookout mezzanine.
