These interesting pictures are from Arch Daily showing an apartment complex in Slovenia. In the article they were named "Tetris" which is a fitting term considering how organizing shapes was the crux of that video game. It is fascinating how the shapes have been put together in the architectural design. I wonder from a construction stand point, it that caused the building timeline to be longer than normally expected for a project of this size. Via.

This picture shows the Flatpak home located in Aspen, Colorado. From first glance you can see that this is not the rustic styling that is common to mountain resort homes in Aspen. Flatpak features a modern industrial design. As I look closely I see design inspired from construction elements that would be found in a warehouse. A warehouse features high ceilings, few windows, and a boxy frame since its purpose to maximize space and flow goods through its design. It would be interesting to find out what the neighbors think of this house. Via.

These project pictures feature minimal interior design inspiration that transformed a penthouse on the East side in New York back in 2002. Though this it is not a recent project, I was still inspired as I came across these images. If you are a fan of minimalism, I think you will appreciate these photos. In addition to the facelift performed on the penthouse, the furnishings, artwork, and accessories in this home are amazing. This project was designed by Tony Ingrao in conjunction with 1100 Architect. Via.

Australia has some wonderful natural landscape and the Cape Shank House by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects is a fine example of a modern home that has adapted well to its environment. This angular dwelling features a great view from a suspended section of the home with a full view of the horizon. This is a great combination of modern architecture and how the clean lines of contemporary furniture and accessories can come together to create a very harmonious look. I especially like the designers approach to recessed features such as lighting, book case niches, as well as opposing angles and natural elements. Via

Archdaily ran a great story on a nine unit condominium project in Manhattan designed by Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban. I have to say that these pictures are fabulous. A neat feature is that these units use retractable shutters. Where some people may argue that a closed up unit may not be that attractive, it is hard to refute its energy savings. Having lived in Florida for a few years with the eminent storms there, shuttered up units do not take that much away from the landscape from my perspective. The inner room pictures feature great home décor and the penthouse terrace is tough to beat in this house design. Via.
