Imagine a house that you assemble close to the seaside in summer and in the mountains when the winter comes. Wouldn’t that be cool? Well somewhere along those lines, one of the largest property developers in Malaysia, Sime Darby Property, has commissioned Broadway Malyan to come up with the plans for South East Asia’s first carbon zero residence. Prefabricated in modules, the house not only keeps costs down it also allows for a speedy construction/deconstruction process. Featuring deep overhangs that provide shade, open, flexible interior spaces to accommodate a variety of uses, a greywater system to reuse water and a green roof garden with a rainwater capture system for irrigation, we can tell for sure we wouldn’t mind living in such an eco house.

It is a fact that people nowadays brake plenty of boundaries in what architecture is concerned. Also, their creativity can sometimes go sky-high and build houses in the most unusual places. This is exactly the deal with with this project. The Gas Station House (former Shell Gas Station) was transformed into a living environment by Juerg Judin, a Swiss collector and art dealer. As you can see from the pictures, this place really does not lack anything and all the prerequisites for a modern living are present here. -via City of Skies

The internationally renowned Zaha Hadid studio is at it again, this time in Italy in the small town of Jesolo where the creative designers came up with a futuristic project for a retail and business center. Dubbed the Jesolo Magica, the structure is meant both as a eye catcher for anyone visiting but also as a major gateway into town. It features a 5 star hotel, two story retail complex, offices, a congress hall, a gym, a nightclub and a restaurant that boasts amazing views of the nearby gardens. With fluid shapes that take your breath away, that’s certainly Zaha Hadid’s signature. We love it! – via
