Sleeping in the trees

Last week I got to fulfil a childhood dream and this time it didn’t involve my mother shouting “Joanna Mary Louise get down now!” from the ground.
I stayed in a treehouse. But not just any treehouse. This castle in the leaves was a mirrorcube and was surrounded by what looked like a red LEGO house, a UFO, a giant bird’s nest, a posh portacabin and a tree sauna.

Lego-style apartment transforms into infinite spaces

When Christian Schallert isn’t cooking, dressing, sleeping or eating, his 24 square meter (258 square feet) apartment is an empty cube. To use a piece of furniture, he has to build it.

Beautiful Norwegian Foliage-Covered Green Roofs

 Green roofs may be a newer phenomenon in many places, but Norwegians have been planting greenery atop their houses for hundreds of years. Some have flowers mixed in with grass, and a few even have small trees. The verdant roofs have many advantages like the fact that they help stabilize homes, provide good insulation and are long-lasting.

Shape-Shifting Couch

Sometimes a sofa is just a sofa, not a "new domestic typology," as the press release from Campeggi for Matali Crasset's new furniture collection non-explains. But in the hands of this French design star, "just a sofa" is pretty stunning: using a built-in touch pad, the pillows on this futuristic piece of furniture unfurl like the fingers on an open palm, creating a bed, chaise longue, or anything else you can think up.
