If you are a bookworm or someone who loves to collect books, magazines and other wisdom-offering treats, then this simple, yet ergonomic home must please you to no end!

When it comes to design, working within the conventions of law in certain situations can throw up some pretty unconventional design and the Edge House falls right into that genre. The challenge that Poland-based Mobius Architects faced was to build a modern home on an excavated limestone hillside in Krakow and they came up with a design that sports a front elevation which is both unique and eye-catching. The design works within the local building norms which do not permit roofs with less than 30 degree slopes and while the construction has already started, it will be a sight to behold when it sees completion in a year’s time… Truly one-of-a-kind! – via
