Well, you might
already be familiar with the term “Glamping” or stylish camping that provides
you with the facilities of home while you are in the wilderness. The Soul
Box by the studio Allergutendinge does just this with their mobile, wooden
shelter. You can submerge yourself in peaceful views of nature and have a sound
sleep under a sturdy roof at the same time. Actually soul box is a minimalist, beautiful
two-storey building that features contains a kitchen and bed on the lower floor
with a viewing platform on the upper one. The impressive bed is set at a
mid-height and meant as both a place to sleep and a step towards the top. When
once upstairs, the roof unlocks to let sunlight and a pleasant breeze in, letting
for peaceable contemplation. Similarly, the front of the structure also folds
down to make a slight patio. Allergutendinge’s
sense of inspiration for Soul Box came from “the dream of Arcadia,” which is
the hint of an imaginary, pleasurable glory where you live in accord with
nature. Of course, we must sooner or later return to our normal lives, and the
designers planned for this. The wood frame construction can be disassembled to
transport back home.

Architects Enlist Friends to Support Build Secluded Studio in the Forest
Though so many
designers and architects perhaps select to have their practices centered in a
bustling metropolis, but United Kingdom based architecture practice Invisible
Studio took a diverse approach. They opted to design and built a timber
structure in a forested area adjacent Bath in England. His friends and
neighbors were enlisted to support with the entire construction and consumed
untreated and unseasoned logs that were sourced from the surrounding woodlands.
The elegant,
secluded studio is approximately 600 square feet of office space that's
elevated above an outdoor workshop area. So to access the upper level, there is
a wood plank bridge that spread out from the ground of an adjacent slope. Three
exterior sides are beautifully wrapped in horizontally-banded wood boards that
contrast a dark-colored base. The other side is enclosed with polycarbonate
wall panels that let in substantial amounts of natural light.
Therefore
invisible Studio's building was a learning process for its construction team,
as none of the workers had any preceding experience. This fact was considered
in the whole design, and the project was developed with untrained labor skills
in mind. There were minimal drawings and they’re allowed for ad-hoc discoveries
and in-progress decisions. Any mistakes were left unconcealed after the whole
structure was completed.

Modular House Design Concept Clings to the Side of a Cliff
In response to a number of consumers seeking options for living on
dangerous coastal plots, Australian prefab architecture firm Modscape has
created the amazing Cliff House, a unique design concept for a home-based that
extends precariously from the side of a cliff. Inspired by the way barnacles
hang on to a ship's hull, the Cliff House clings to the cliff's edge, providing
a thrilling view of the surrounding landscape and ocean waters
Therefore; the innovative 5 story house takes advantage of modular
design and prefabrication skills to deliver a series of modules stacked
vertically on top of each other, well attached to the cliff using engineered
steel pins. Though the inhabitant of home will enter at the top floor, and then
descend to each level via a lift. A barbecue and jacuzzi area at the bottom
floor offers an instant connection with the sea, more emphasizing the Cliff
House's exclusive design as a natural extension of the cliff.

Fascinating Trio of Treehouses Each Have an Exclusive Cozy Feel
Atlanta, Georgia-based environmentalist
Peter Bahouth always feels very close to nature and he grew up having a
tree-house and has affectionate memories of it. When he an adult, he
always wanted to re-form this distinct place, so with his partner Nick
Hobbs make a design and construct his vision. Peter Bahouth had
previously purchased an ample land next to his house, and together with
Hobbs designated a trio of closely equidistant trees to build around.
The ultimately result is three fascinating spaces linked together by a
suspension bridge.
Moreover every
house is built with salvaged materials, antiques, and meaningful stuffs.
They’re named “Mind,” “Body,” and “Spirit” and have personalities all
their own. First of all you’ve to enter in “Mind”, which is meant as a
place to gather, and includes ample seating for guests. The 2nd
tree-house is “Body” actually a bedroom that’s filled with original art
and a platform bed that slides out under the tree canopy. Therefore;
“Spirit” is a round platform that is the tallest of the three and boasts
an unbelievable view of the sunset. The rustic tree-houses also come
equipped with a hammock for lazy afternoons and a bull’s eye for playing
blow darts. Coupled with the cozy interiors, they're the impeccable
spot to amuse friends or relish a night outdoors and feel closer to
nature.
