“It’s like a modern yacht—we had to think of how to get the maximum amount of space out of a minimum amount of floor area,” architect Robert A. M. Stern says of the three-story beach cottage he designed for Robert and Lisa Nesbitt in Seaside, Florida. The architect had to adhere to the community’s strict design requirements, which limit height, roof slope and materials.

A dreamy evening snuggling up in a cozy blanket, with fairy lights illuminating the room and a beautiful scenery right outside the window is the usual ordeal for German artists Claudius Schulze and Maciej Markowicz. We, of course, don't claim that that is the only thing they are up to when traveling around Europe with their project 2Boats, but it surely looks like a great perk of this lovely adventure.

Najprv poukladám vankúše, navarím čaj, nasypem do misky sušené jablká, zapnem lampu a až vtedy, v tejto oáze pokoja, chytám knihu a vždy si …
