Had nightmares about being lost at night in a forest?
Do all those creepy horror films frighten you?
In that case this light fitting is not the one to choose for your bedroom

According to the Architectural Press it’s a great example of Minimalist Architecture.
Now according to Google Minimalism is “Characterized by the use of simple, massive forms”.
Well this building is massive but would have been anything but simple to construct: Curves, Strange Angles, Massive Cantilevered Rooms.
The building is called Dupli Casa and you can find more photos at: www.homedsgn.com
Personally I think it is a hideous, expensive, architectural W**K . . . What do you think?
One of the big current architectural trends at the moment is ‘Green Walls’.
Didn’t work too well at this location!
It looks like they grew a creeper up the wall but didn’t think about how the creeper would stay fixed to the wall!
I found this photo on Welcome to the Internet
And you can actually eat it.
It was set up by the British company Tate and Lyle as part of a promotion in which they built an edible ‘Hotel’.
Thanks to the British web www.digitalspy.co.uk for this photo.
Do you like this entrance to a house?
It’s from the Wabi House in Southern California, designed by Sebastian Mariscal.

Looks like a great site for breeding mozzies.
It could also be a bit risky coming home after a few drinks, especially if you were a bit unsteady on your feet!
This is certainly a strange looking building!
It’s actually an art gallery in France.
The designers started out with a fairly conventional building and then added polystyrene
The polysyrene was then sculptured into these fantastic shapes.
It was then plastered and painted to get this meringue looking building.

Wondering what those strange empty shelves are for in this picture?
Well it becomes clearer with this second picture. . . . . It for the cats!
Not only their own adventure playground around the walls but their own doorways between rooms!
Photographs are from Hauspanther an online magazine for ‘Design Conscious ‘ Cat People.
I came across the weird picture the other day.
Is it to make sailors feel at home?
Perhaps its supposed to be a protection from earthquakes?
What do you think?
From the I New Idea web page.
This 1m wide building was designed by German architect Nils Holger Moormann as a garden house.
The exterior walls have cupboards for gardening implements, tableware, and a barby.
The door even leads to an upstairs bedroom with a glass roof
You can see more photographs at Dornob.
I don’t know how you would go if there was a strong wind on the side though.
Here is an unusual balustrade I saw during a recent weekend away.
It’s at the Old Convent at Daylesford, Victoria.
Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
