A few months ago I’ve presented an interesting way to add a room to your apartment. Some people said that this is a crazy idea, but others found it interesting. Today I would like to present an interesting extension to a house located in the city of Hertfordshire north of London, England. In this project ( Harpenden House ) made by Crawford Partnership, the existing house was significantly extended adding an extension to the side in the style of the original building, a new basement level below ground and to the rear, a dramatic glass extension. The glass extension is an all-glass structure using toughened glass beams connected to glass fin columns. Even the doors have been constructed to be frameless using spider hinge joints to hand them off the glass wall panels. The “glass box” ties together newly created open plan living spaces within the existing house and the new side extension whilst also providing a huge new living/dining are integrating with the garden beyond. - Via

If you have a small bathroom you should plan carefully your space. One thing that you can do is to replace the radiator with a nice looking stainless steel towel warmer that would heat the bathroom as well as the towels. Ok so where’s the space saving? You can use the wall-mounted towel warmer to double as a radiator and fit it on the wall over the end of the bathtub. This would save a lot of space because the radiator would now be on a wall that would otherwise be doing nothing. This wall-mounted towel warmer is also very userful if you hate stepping out of a hot shower. Here are also a few words about this product on the website from where you can purchase it : “The Snake 50 Towel Heater is one Scirocco’s uniquely designed towel-heating radiators for the bathroom. The heated water is hidden behind chrome-nickel plating and steel to create a hot modern sculpture.” - Via

Shaped as a tree branch, this supposed bookshelf looks like a part from a super tree that managed to grow through your walls. With an unique and simple design inspired by the nature this branch not only supports books or objects, but it can also as be used as a clothing rack. This piece was designed after the designers ( Wokmedia ) went to work in Sri Lanka, and they experienced a culture shock. They wanted to take a reminder of the feeling of the flooded environment home so they transformed the image of “partially submerged trees” into shelves. Now if you want a creative way to store your books, you can try to find a sturdy branch like the one above and set up your own branch shelf. - Via
