A film by Lernert & Sander; happy Easter!

"Vandalism must be mild!" declares the pinned post at r/MildlyVandalised, my new favorite subreddit. It's dedicated to amusing examples of relatively insignificant destruction and decay, such as missing letters in signs, wikipedia "vandalism" and fake instructional stickers added to public appliances and the like.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is 42 years old. So when Beck released his slawjawed qusi-rap anthem "Loser" in 1993, Martin was 16. And Martin was 17 when "Loser" went into wide release and conquered the world, reaching a peak of #15 on the singles chart in Martin's native UK. So that means Chris … More »

Introducing a newly-completed summer cabin project in the Finnish Archipelago, conceived and created together by partners Milla Selkimäki and Aleksi Hautamäki.

They call it the Project Ö, where “Ö” means ‘an island’ in Swedish. They purchased the 5-acre island, on the edge of the Archipelago National Park, two years ago and have since built the main cabin with a sauna and the workshop.

The buildings pay a tribute to the traditional Finnish archipelago aesthetics, with cabled roof, long eaves, extended gutters and vertical cladding. The shape of the cabins is long and narrow, which allows for large window surfaces with varying views, as well as possibilities for very different types of functions at the opposite ends of the building; for example, sundowner drinks with friends at one end, while the kids are sleeping in the other.  

The vision was to have all things necessary with as little space as possible. All individual spaces have been designed to be as compact as they can without compromising the functionality and comfort. The two buildings are just 70m² in total, yet they sleep 10 adults comfortably if needed.

Their island is totally self-sufficient, as it uses solar power for energy and filtered sea water for drinking. The houses have running water, flush toilet, heating, cooling, and a modern kitchen. Hot running water is produced with a sauna stove and the same system provides heating to the floors.

Grand Cabin Club by Hello Wood near Csóromfölde, Hungary

Built next to six other installations during an independent international summer school in 2018. Organized by Hello Wood, a Budapest-based design studio and educational platform for architects. Students and architectures from all over the world were invited to collaborate and take part in the tiny house movement set in the depths of rural Hungary. The groups had to build movable, live-able, unique wooden cabins blending innovative design with environment-friendly approaches.

More from Hello Wood / @hellowood: 

As a pilot for our #GrandCabin project we built this tiny house back in 2018 during our international summer school, Cabin Fever. Drilling in the last screw was an amazing feeling, can’t describe how proud we were of our team and everyone who contributed to this beautiful A-frame house. Swipe to see the interior as well, full of Hungarian designer furniture and accessories.

After rethinking, revisiting this project in the past year we are glad to say that we can bring this cabin to anyone’s home/backyard/pier/*name a place* and build it up there.
