This amazing house was build in 2006 by Arquitectura Orgánica. A young couple with two children from Mexico City who after living in a conventional home wanted to change to one integrated to nature. The goal of this project was to make it feel like an internal inhabitant of a snail, like a mollusk moving from one chamber to another, like a symbiotic dweller of a huge fossil maternal cloister.
uh can i live here
This looks very Gaudi-esque.

Reline, a collection of recycled tableware by Anna Borman.
What’s interesting is that the “recycling” happens by simply uniting mismatched (and thus less desirable) pieces into a more desirable collection simply through a graphic element — a bunch of object orphans becomes a family. (Not too far from the Uncollection idea, right?)
Some details:
She set about collecting vintage and antique white porcelain dishes and tea things. She then creates mismatched sets by printing a pink line and recycle symbol on each piece.
“The idea is to reuse and upgrade all the random, left over white porcelain cups and other dishes,” says Bormann. “The simple vertical line is visible from most angles and gives an obvious indication of belonging to the different white set of parts. Once these different individuals are put together they become an original yet completely new tableware set, providing a unique atmosphere to the dinner table.”

I totally have these! I’ve owned them for over three years now, but have been waiting to actually put them on the wall when I get a place of my own.

This Tree of Life poster is hard to resist. Stand back and it looks like a cool relief print of a tree, but once you get up close, the rings are composed of hundreds of tiny animals. How cool!

In its newest exhibition, the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., takes on a topic near and dear to us all: home.
Running through the center of the exhibition, which includes actual wall frames and a spread of some 200 quintessential household objects, is a fabulous row of 14 celebrated American houses, reproduced as intricate scale models.
