The new Firmship 42 is a classic boat of a type that was still being built fifty years ago. But Studio Job turned it into a floating work of art. Now it?s more than just a boat; it?s a luxury house that provides all modern functional comfort. It has been completed with the craftsman?s precision, reinforcing its timelessness. Teak was used for doors, deck furniture and the interior finish. The wood used for cabin has been finished in such a way that the grain of individual planks is seamlessly joined. So this floating house isn?t just luxurious but also welcoming and warm. Currently, the Firmship is only available as 42-foot boat. The next step will be the launch of a Firmship 60.

City life is becoming tenser because of the large number of people and the continuous deterioration of ecological environment. That is why more and more people are trying to build a house as far away from civilization as possible. Today we review one more unusual house, which was created by specialists of Japanese studio Studio Curiosity and built almost in the forest. The house, named C2 Yamanashi, has a clear and a little abstract volume, which follows the slope of the plot. One of the walls of the house is almost entirely glazed and offers a complete overview of the forest, while the others are almost completely blank. The interiors are not too large, but seem more spacious due to the fact that designers used so popular in the Japan minimalistic style.

This amazing residence was built by Maziar Behrooz Architecture for a small family of two and their two big dogs. It?s located in East Hampton, NY, near the local airport and train track. The architects considered this fact and accentuated it in house\\\'s exterior by making it look like an airplane hangar. Such structure does not only look extraordinary, but is also very cost-effective because it doesn?t require too many supporting walls or columns inside of the building. The arc contains just some of the facilities, such as living, dining rooms and the kitchen, whereas the rest of the house is very well integrated to the landscape, housing some of the more intimate areas. The materials for the house were selected with energy saving in mind, making the power consuption of this house much lower than of the typical house of this size.

There are some cities and countries that can be proud of its architecture connected with fairy-tales and of famous people who lived there. Finland is known for the residence of Santa-Claus. Sweden was the home-land for Astrid Lindgren. Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, was the place of living for Hans Christian Andersen. And this city is also well-known for the statue of Little Mermaid. But it is not the only touch of fairy-tale in Copenhagen. Tom Fruin, the New-York based architect, has designed an unusual stained glass art house right in the middle of the city. It looks really amazing and unreal especially at night when it is lit from the inside. Moreover all the space around this miraculous house is coloured by wide range of lights. It is extremely beautiful! Tom Fruin was inspired by all the lights that he had faced in Copenhagen so he decided to combine them all in his own one. The result was this piece of faire-tale.
