Squish Studio (by Saunders)

Norwegian firm Saunders has completed the ‘squish studio’, one of six commissioned artist studios along the coastline of fogo island in Newfoundland, Canada. positioned within the eastern town of tilting, the 30 square meter building is perched upon the rocky terrain and supported with a system of stilts. Reaching 20 feet, the southern roof peak and generated
angled outdoor area produce the main entry to the retreat. Downward sloping to half the height at the opposing northern end, this trapezoidal structure’s name is derived from its ‘squished’ form while contrasting the local vernacular structures rooted within a strong irish heritage.

Plans afoot for Dubai’s first underwater hotel

The Water Discus hotel has been designed by Polish company Deep Ocean Technology (DOT) with the help of Swiss firm BIG InvestConsult AG. The hotel will comprise of two discs - one under the water, and one suspended above the water. The discs will be connected by five legs, and a vertical shaft in the center housing stairs and a lift.

The underwater section will be up to 10 meters beneath the sea surface, and contain 21 double rooms adjacent to a dive center and a bar. Each room has been designed to ‘integrate with the underwater world as closely as possible’.

I LOVE this house, it may now be tied with The Leaf House.  I don’t know how I’m going to pay for a tiny house, but it’s going to happen….I just need to figure out what plans I like the best.
