While it was love at first sight for the exterior of this 16th-century manor house in Langport, Somerset, the interiors were a labour of love for owner Sarah Southwell. One year on and the house has a new lease of life, with warm, colourful interiors designed for family life. The restoration project has been documented in Channel 4's Renovation Nation series.

Architect Arthur Mudry revisits the house he built for Malcolm Beaton, a bookmaker, in West Vancouver. Rooted in bedrock, the house is part Shinto temple, part paean to Pacific forest.

The delightfully eccentric gardens of Roseburg are founded on the remains of a 16th century castle, occupying a limestone ridge in foothills of the Harz. The site was acquired in 1905 by the architect Bernhard Sehring (1855-1941), who began to turn it into a true folly loosely modeled as a mock medieval fortification including turrets, drawbridges and 1600 meters of perimeter wall with embrasures. Later additions expanded the gardens across the site, were elements of renaissance, mannerist, baroque and landscape garden styles are mixed at will and combined with art deco architectural gestures. A belvedere tower, with an open air library and mausoleum grotto, is placed at the top of the site, forming the offset for a 100 meter terraced water axis or catena d’aqua, concluding in a raised plateau overlooking the countryside. A wealth of sculpture (including an army of putti) and architecture is found everywhere in the garden, which surprises at every turn and appears much larger than it actually is. This is a truly unique layout, reminiscent only of equally spleeny endeavors such as Gabrielle d’Annunzios ‘Il Vittoriale’ on Lago Garda , Dr. Peyrons villa in Fiesole , or Sir Clough Williams-Ellis’ Portmeiron on the Welsh coast.

Just because your house is small doesn't mean you can't live large.

Many things can shape a city—its culture, history, social life, or food scene. But perhaps the most distinctive feature would be architecture. Some buildings can completely fascinate you with their astonishing design and pure aesthetics. Through careful urban planning and understanding of the cultural background, the structure of a city can carry you through time while still leaving you in a very particular place.

Hard to believe this house had been cut up into four shabby apartments, or the woodwork painted industrial green and the verandah enclosed with aluminum siding and jalousie windows. Then there were the structural problems.

Unusual stairs, must be from the Aribs element.

This abandoned school is the first thing you see when you enter Trimble Ohio. It looks like it caught fire decades ago and is super easy to get into, however I would recommend wearing a face mask because there is asbestos everywhere on the floor and when you walk around you can see clouds of it. Also, there is someone living in a trailer 100 feet from the back of the school and there is no trespassing signs, so be very quiet. Check out more images on my site: www.rejectedmemories.com
