Located in on Mercer Island, Washington, and surrounded by a lush vegetation and beautiful hills, the Wood Block Residence comes from Chadbourne + Doss Architects and carries a rich bond with nature. Warm and friendly, the place seems to have it all: large spaces, amazing furniture, modern arrangements. The views across the hills are another factor that convinced us to place this house on our 'dream houses' list.

You are probably all aware of the limits that are being broken everyday in Dubai in terms of architecture. Hydropolis-the underwater hotel, Burj-Dubai, the world’s tallest building, Ski Dubai, The Palm Islands and Burj Al Arab are just a few of the landmarks of this Arabic emirate. This “miniature” planet Earth was created by James Law Cybertecture in order to make a statement. Due to various embedded technologies, the Technosphere will be able to auto sustain itself in matters of energy. Taking into consideration the vast resources that Dubai “consumed” up to now, this building is a revolutionary project that is perhaps trying to make up for this region’s latest activity. -via Inhabitat
