The Whangapoua Sled House is a beach style house on sleds and was designed by Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects.  Closed up, this home blends right into the landscape and it makes you wonder how this is a house for five.  It was designed to be portable to shift around the beach front.  This innovation is a response to the every changing beachfront coastal erosion zones. If you want to know more about the house check out the architects website.

I know what your thinking but this is not for AA meetings. The AA House is a minimalist home located in Barcelona, designed by OAB. Ceramic cladding was used on the rooftop and perimeter walls. The architects wanted as little obstruction between the interior and exterior as possible. As a result, an entire facade was made up of glasswork, trellises, and sliding panels.

I would have to say that this is a beauty right here. The home is an ideal mix of abstract, minimalist, and geometric design all in one. Oh yeah, did you see how sweet that stair case was? See more pictures after the break.

Artist Lisa Rodden cuts, slices, and folds thick layers of white paper on top of acrylic paintings that are occasionally accompanied with text. She cuts small geometric cuts to reveal a glimpse of the paint creating a interplay of color and shadows. You can see more in her paper gallery.

Photographer Christoffer Relander just finished a new series of photographs titled "We Are Nature" using double and triple exposures that were all done in-camera with his Nikon D700.  You can see more of Christoffer's work on Behance.

Roby Dwi Antono and his solo 2012 drawing exhibition evokes an uneasy feeling but also captures the wonder of imagination.  What caught my attention was the array of characters and the detail of each poster which were all done by pencil.  One of my favorites in this series is the rabbit like girl with the peacock hair and the tortoise by her side, it's just simple but complex. Check out more of his work on Behance.

Since I'm a person who likes to color coordinate I found that Csepel Royal did a wonderful job at color coordinating colorful spreads of bike parts. Being a fan of all kinds of bikes, seeing parts laid out like this is really sweet.  Check out their website and build yourself a color coordinated bike or get wild with the colors and parts.

Talk about a beautifully designed weather app to give you what you need in looks and information. David Elgena is the creator behind the Braun/Dieter Rams inspired weather iphone app called Wthr. The app is very nicely done and I’d say it would be cool to have although after reading the comments it still has an issue with turning off and on the GPS, I'm sure they will get it fixed quick.
