Don’t get me wrong, living in a city has its privileges. But, I’m getting closer to the years when I value my inner peace the most. Finding that in a noisy neighborhood, where life is buzzing around, is always difficult. I totally get this woman who decided to risk everything and build her own tiny …

A place where nature meets innovation and sustainability. That’s how they describe The Water Shed, an eco-lodge on an impressive estate owned by Dan and Nina. Modern architecture usually means buildings in urban areas, or at least close to them. But, no one thought deeper about building a modern house, in the middle of unspoilt …
I never thought I’d be putting the words luxury and container into one sentence, but here we are. We’re blessed to live in such an innovative time where everything is possible, even combining the impossible. Shipping containers used to be something sustainable, a faster and cheaper way out when you want a house or a …
I never had a treehouse growing up, although I desperately wanted one. There were simply no trees big enough to support my dream. Having no treehouse kind of explains my fascination with tiny houses and my obsessive need to have one someday. One exactly like the tiny house in the woods of Swannanoa I’m about …
And I promise you, it’s not only the extra you’re gonna love! Every time I see a shipping container house, I get blown away by how innovative it looks. Just imagine: it was once a box used to carry goods from one point to another, and now is a lovely home with walls, floors, details, …

The architecture world is ever-evolving and full of surprises. Twenty years ago, when someone mentioned building houses using any other material than standard ones, people would think he’s a cuckoo. Today, the tables have turned and more people opt for more economical, yet more sustainable options. Enter the scene: houses built using shipping containers. Tiny …
Romance… such a simple joy in life, and yet such a difficult thing to achieve or receive from your loved one. Some say that romance is dead. I say: you don’t know where to look for it. Romance isn’t just expensive dinners with a view and red roses. Romance isn’t pricey gifts you buy each …
Not every architect is capable of doing the unimaginable: combining opposite styles and introducing them into one complex unity. Some might say that the words modern and log cabin have nothing in common. They shouldn’t even be used in the same sentence! However, when you have a vision, a plan magically shows up, and the …
Renovation… One of the most hated and equally most beloved words in my dictionary. It’s one of the worst pains in my neck. However, it’s also something that brings many fruitful results. I sincerely can’t stand the entire process of renovation. Still, I love how the house gets a new look, new charm, and new …
