The work of Sebastien Wierinck takes the term interior design to a whole other level. It has a minimalist-futuristic, slighty dystopic aesthetic to it that has me drooling like a little baby. Head over to his site for more.
Hemeroscopium House

We don’t often cover architecture, but when we stumbled onto this house, we couldn’t resist. It’s called the Hemeroscopium House, and is located in Madrid. It’s made from gigantic concrete beams and is topped off with a huge granite stone that serves as a counterweight. It was erected in only seven days, but it took a year to plan it all out.

Frank Gehry to Design Gap Pop-up Shops

Gap has turned to none other than Pritzker Prize winning architect, Frank Gehry to design a series of pop-up shops surrounding their Product(Red) campaign. So far, not much is known, but supposedly the shops will resemble jigsaw puzzles. Stay tuned.

Reversible Density

Architects Shusaku Arakawa and Madeline Gins designed a building of nine apartments known as Reversible Density Lofts in Tokyo. Resembling a combination of Legos and fast food restaurant playgrounds, inside, each apartment features sloped floors, hard to find switches and no closets. The result is that occupants constantly lose balance and fall over and finding everyday items can be trying. Arakawa argues that this “makes you alert and awakens instincts, so you’ll live better, longer and even forever.” Each apartment had a $763,000 price tag when they first went on the market.

Luxury Solitary Confinement

We found these “living quarters” over at Gizmodo. I’d really love to find out how many minutes you could actually spend inside this 8.5 foot cube while remaining completely sane, and how far the thing actually flies once a heftier gust of wind gets under it. But it does look cute. Kind of reminds me of a scene from an old school East European sci-fi flick. Obviously it’s a lot cheaper than a regular house, too, selling from $32,500 to $44,225. It does however, contain all the necessities of a home: a double bed, a kitchen, a shower, a toilet, a table that seats five (supposedly).
