Unique Hemeroscopium House in Spain

In the province Las Rozas near Madrid Ensamble Studio realized an extraordinary project, called Hemeroscopium House. Completed several years ago, it continues to astound and amaze the audience with its appearance and a special philosophy. Hemeroscopium is an ancient Greek settlement, situated on the Iberian Peninsula. According to legend, it was a place where the sun sets. Work on the design of this unusual building took almost a year, but it was built during the week because the house was assembled out of large precast structural elements, prepared before. Because of the gray concrete facade the house seems a bit gloomy and unwelcoming, but an unusual form still attracts the attention. There are lots of features there: two pools, huge granite stone on the top of the house and lot more.

The unusual solution by Ab Rogers Design with DA.Studio is to create an oasis of fun and magic in the heart of the bustling city. The Rainbow House is a unique universe of color, movements and games. Each angle of the house is full of incredible discoveries. For example, hatch in the floor that moves you into the living room, a huge yellow sofa for kids’ playing or a rotating bed and round bath in master bedroom. The center of the composition is a unique staircase made of glass and steel. As it rises through the house, spiral staircase passes through the full spectrum of the rainbow. Its tint spreads out and influences the color of floor at each storey. You'll never be bored in this house.

Propeller Island City Lodge in Berlin

Present to you unusual hotel ‘Propeller Island City Lodge’ in Berlin, created with unrestrained imagination and a little music. This is not a luxurious palace with marble floors and a staff of hundreds of people. It’s a small private hotel, but artistic and romantic people, no doubt, prefer these small apartments more than the most prestigious networks with a certain number of stars in the gilded panels at the entrance. All rooms are designed by German artist, musician and sculptor Lars Stroshen, who is the owner of this hotel. In one room you’ll find bed in the form of coffins, in the second you think you've confused the ceiling and floor. The third room takes you into the forest, in the fourth you see strange mechanisms reminiscent memories of the machines of Leonardo da Vinci or medieval torture-like aggregates. And what do you think about a flying bed?
