On the shore of an idyllic white sanded beach in New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula rests a small, simple but elegant hut. Designed by Crosson Clarke Carnachan, this hut measures a mere 40 square meters and rests on two thick wooden ‘sleds’ that allow it to be shifted around the beach front section. This innovative portability is a response to the ever changing landscape that line the beachfront in this coastal erosion zone.
To accommodate a family of five, every available space has been utilized. Entering through a double-height set of glass doors from the beach deck, the living/dining/kitchen zone continues in the back with a bathroom and a three tiered bunk kids room. The mezzanine bedroom is accessed by climbing a wall-mounted ladder through a closeable hatch, it shares the same view as downstairs through the huge glass doors. Climb the ladder again and you arrive on a roof terrace which catches rainwater for the gravity tanks behind. Small, simply and elegantly self-contained, this tiny elegant hut strips holiday living right back to basics. [source]

Two years ago, we talked about the world’s first undersea restaurant which can also converted to a private bedroom on our site. It is nice but not as impressive as the one shown in today’s post. The Water Discus Underwater Hotel, the conceptual design of Deep Ocean Technology is designed as a modern and aquatic alternative to the mundane hotels in the Middle East.
The grand structure features several discs both above and below water. The central tower adjoins a saucer-shaped space approximately five to seven meters above sea level with another mobile one that is generally stationed about ten meters underwater. The lower deck has the ability to resurface above water in the event of an emergency. Otherwise, guests can enjoy one of the twenty-one suites in the lower disc that offers comfort with the additional visual benefit of the natural marine environment. It will be lovely to explore the depths of the ocean while taking advantage of the warm climate. [source]

We have featured a lots of home design on the site, but never see anything close to this one. Built on an impressive lot of 824 square meters, this house is 90% in white from outside to inside! Featuring four bedrooms and four bathrooms, an outdoor entertainment area and a swimming pool, you can avoid to notice the white theme through the whole house. Yes, nothing but white. But the designer seems like pretty proud of the design and give the official project description like :
“Sparkling white interiors and high ceilings are a breath of fresh air while abundant use of glass creates a light and airy floor plan that moves from room to room with ease. An open plan living room on the upper level effortlessly blends with the dining area for a sweeping space that flows to the gourmet kitchen which features quality appliances, lots of cabinetry, bench space and a butler’s pantry.”
Not sure would you like to live in place like this. But it does look like a really bold idea to design house like that hence we decide to share it with you guys. Would you like this style of design? [source]

Under the Moonlight contemporary house, designed by Giovanni D’Ambrosio, is located in Mount Hotham, Victoria, Australia. The house has been designed with care in order to prevent damage to local vegetation and trees. It tries to integrate itself in the site through use of materials that have been used before and that are part of local historical background. The shape of the residence is highly modern, yet resembles typological archetypes used by country-men and cowboys that lived in the area. An interesting mix of stone, glass, wood and metal was used to create a home that would shelter the owners, during summer and winter. Moreover, the roof is made out of insulated metal and accomplishes functionality at any climate. At the ground level everyday life takes place and it is possible to see the garden from a glazed frame that opens onto a deck. Love the view outside! [source]
