The Oberen Berg House by Alexander Brenner has caught our attention due to its modern, bold and imposing architecture. Appearing like a collection of white volumes displayed on the northeast side, the residence is made out of a cluster of spaces connected to each other through openings in the geometric protective walls. The 4,876 square meter residence can be easily transformed into a multi-generation residence. Its current architecture permits the owners to make quick adjustments to the existing floor plan in order to divide the living spaces into multiple units. Glass walls adorned with modern details succumb to the flooding of light, making the double height entrance hall gather views of the surrounding hillside. The pool was placed in the front side to take advantage of the extensive views over the surroundings of Stuttgart, Germany, where the house is located. What do you like most about this house: the glazed walls, pool with views, dark floors?

In case you ever wanted to go camping on water, here is a practical idea. The Sealander, designed by German industrial designer Daniel Straub, is a recreational trailer with amphibious features. Which means it can take you places on land, but also on water. Seen on NOTCOT, the unusual vehicle was built using glass-fiber enhanced materials and a waterproof transportation system, which allows it to literally float on the water. It is also equipped with an external motor, so no rowing is needed. By the time this ingenious design gets on the market, you will be able to camp both on water and dry land. We particularly like the fact that the roof can come off, allowing the users to enjoy the sky at night. The Sealander will be available in 2012 and it is estimated to cost around 12.000€. Have a look at the presentation video below to see this lovely amphibious caravan in action.

We came across an interesting use of creativity: hand-carved car tyres. The Belgian artist who created these interesting effects on car tyres – Studio Wim Delvoye – has experience with many faces of art – from laser cut stainless steel to photos printed on aluminum. There was an interesting reaction when we first saw these car tyres – can you imagine how much work and patience it took to create these carefully designed, intricate patterns? The collection named “Pneu” comes to show that even the most ignored objects can become masterpieces in the hands of a talented artist. Found on Beautiful Life, the used car tyres open a world of possibilities for those who appreciate Eco-friendly artistic designs. Wim Delvoye is not the first artist to experiment with used car tyres, but he is surely a very patient, talented and focused artist.
