Tamina Thermal Baths by Smolenicky & Partner Architecture


The Zuerich based architec office Smolenicky & Partner designed the Tamina Thermal Baths in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland. I enjoy going there, beautiful calme place to meditate, practice Yoga and float in the warm water.... enough for today. Having said this, enjoy your evening!

Open air stage Piberstein by SOLID Architecture


Another great construction. The open-air concert stage was projected as a multi-functional building structure in the middle of the already existing leisure park area near the town of Maria Lankowitz in Austria.

Villa Mecklin by Huttunen-Lipasti-Pakkanen Architects

This 2 bedroom house is in Velkua, Naantali, Finland. Situated right in and with the nature, built with untreated wood, minimalistic and with clear lines. Adore it!

The Division Knoll Residence by Sagan Piechota Architecture

Some say it looks like a oversized bus stop shelter, some think it's just too much from all of it. But sweet mf'ing Krishna, it's all about the view and the beautiful nature of Big Sur. I love the shot from the bathroom, it looks like the house is floating over the ocean. I could see myself driving home after a hard day at work and coming home to this beautiful nature space right in the middle of Big Sur, California.

Joshua Tree Bulder House by Garett Carlson


In my Opinion a little bit too posh but nicely build into the nature with a lot of existing resources. Garett Carlson, a landscape architect, built this house with the Joshua Tree Park right on the doorstep.
The boulders appear to rise from the desert floor embracing and sheltering the west side of the house. The house is at one with the land in such a way that it is almost invisible.
Just recently visited Joshua Tree Park, but missed this beauty. Nice job and currently on sale for lousy $ 975'000.
