I think that the Corner Lamp is a brilliant idea. The Corner Lamp is a lamp that can be very useful in a small place, and also pretty stylish. With this lamp you’ll don’t waste any space in your room. I’m sure that a lot of people will find this lamp very practical. This lamp can be purchased for $195.00 from here. - Via - Core77

Villa Bio is a really interesting house project that caught my attention. This project was created by architect Enric Ruiz-Geli. Usually most homes impress us with beautiful interior design, furnishings and all kind of high tech gadgets. In this case I was impressed by a thing that usually is not designed to impress …the ROOF. If you would like to find more info about this project you can go here (spanish ) .

Binova Fires Line cooking surface has a fantastic simple and minimalist design and is an ideal solution for kitchens and small houses where the kitchen is not used much or minimalist environments also. It can be used on narrow work tops and is easy to clean. The modern depth of the cooking surface improves the level of efficiency of the suction hood thanks to the reduced risk of loss of cooking fumes. The price for the Binova Fires - Coocking Surface is £1,900. - Via - Decosfera

Today you’ll see a great example of what a woman did with a small piece of land without any “architectural” help: 2 rooms, kitchen, 3 bedrooms with washrooms and a veranda! This narrow house belongs to the lady in yellow - Helenita Queiroz Grave Minho , designed by her. She live in this 1 meter wide by 10 meter tall house in Madre de Deus, Brazil. At first, the municipality refused, but in the end with the plan allowed the construction, that became a touristic spot of the small town of 12 thousand people. I think that this project is a very unique idea and something like this could be designed in big cities where the space is really a problem, but to live daily in a house like this would be exhausting. - Via - Ahboon

A few months ago I’ve wrote an article named - Tricks to Keep Your House Cool this Summer and a lot of people commented and liked that article. In this article I’ve presented ways to keep your home cool during the summer but without using an air conditioner. Today I’ve found about a new invention that could be in this article. The Ksd Solar Window from Ecological Innovations is a window that can both heat and cool your home. The KSD-Solar-Diode-Window is the only window construction to address room temperature control and energy saving at the same time in an ingeniously simple way. The innovation is in that center pane. It has heat reflective capabilities, in one direction. Thus, in summer, flip the window with the green side facing out and there is minimal heat gain, reducing the cooling burden. In winter, flip it the other way, and it reduces heat loss (while allowing solar heat gain during the day), reducing the heating load. - Via - Materialicio.us & Leed pro
