Lopsided Argentine House With Party Wall





















Argentine house called lopsided by some, but not by us. Seems cleverly done, to gain light, avoid nosy and noisy neighbors, and encompasses a party wall too. A party wall is a sound barrier between abutting buildings.

What Is Wrong With This Beautiful Spanish House












What is wrong with this new Spanish house? Too big! Takes up too much land. Separated rooms use more materials than ordinary house would require. But....I like it anyway. You never hear anyone in the next room; there is no next door room! No head-knocking, floorboard-kicking, stiletto/boot heel stomping sounds. A house made up of cabins.

Japanese Tardis House: Bigger Inside Than Outside










Another Japanese TARDIS house where the inside is bigger than the outside. TARDIS is Dr. Who's telephone booth time machine, which is the only thing interesting about the Brit TV kiddie/pop/si-fi series.

Canadian Bunkie Cabin Knock-Out















"Bunkie Sleeping Cabin" (Canada). Canadian architecture is not all devoted to the eternal '70s. I stand corrected. 

Great design> http://design-milk.com/the-bunkie-sleeping-cabin/
