French designers
Zébra3/Buy-Sellf have designed a prefabricated holiday home in the shape of a cloud that sits next to a lake in south-west France. It was originally designed as an art installation and is now used as a rural shelter for holidaymakers. "
Sleeping in a comic-style hut is a unique urban experience," said Zebra3.
The cabin is made from softwood, plywood, plexiglass and glass‐fiber reinforced plastic. It is painted white to look like a fluffy cloud and has thin slanted windows that offer views across the countryside. The only downside is that the cabin doesn't provide any electricity or water. Just the bare essentials.

For those of you that are always on the go and need a desk or a place to sit for work, then this suitcase is for you.
Boxed is a piece of multi-functional furniture that fits in a suitcase. The pieces can transform into at least four types of furniture. It can be a coffee table, a desk, two stools and a lamp. All of these elements can be extended by the simple introduction of another part to suit the user's need. These parts then all collapse back down to their most basic form, allowing them to be returned to the case that they are stored inside. The design was created by Scottish designer Tyrone Stoddart.

"Growler" concept city commuter is just a working sketch prototype in a series of thoughts on what we carry around with us and the importance of those items. They took a Growler from a local pub and set off to design a bike around it. Awesome! With or without the beer, this changed how we view typical beach/city cruisers.

Jesper Brask and his family spent time in this woodsy acre of land in North Zealand, Denmark to know everything about this site before building there summer home. The piney area where the house was to be built was not neglected as it was used in the creation of this summerhouse. This gateway also used steel, bricks, and glass for the dramatic sloping floor to ceiling windows and glass doors that brings the woods almost inside. At the core of the open-plan home is the towering chimney which holds three fireplaces, a conventional oven, and a pizza oven. That's pretty sweet. What do you think of this summer home?
