As you ascend towards the roof, the house becomes increasingly transparent.

When you’ve got your stamp the way you want it, you’re ready to ink it up.

The cozy hexagonal cabin has a footprint of just 93 square feet.

Cavern is a bicoastal design firm specializing in wallpaper. They are environmentally friendly and silk-screen their unique designs by hand. One of the new designs, I see you, features a google eye pattern on which people can draw their own creations. $155 per roll.

Clad in salvaged wood and adorned with moss, the tiny hexagonal home has a footprint of 93 square feet.

Regent Road Parklet, Cape Town, South Africa, 2015 Van Wyk's view of architecture as an art form relies heavily on the perspective that it "must acknowledge notions of history and theory, criticism of architecture, and urbanism." He wants to restore the architect as an artist, and prevent the field from crystalizing into the "monotonous standardized industry it is transforming into.”

Although it’s only 93 square feet, the first floor appears larger with its flared walls.

When you enter the VitraHaus, you receive a "Vitra Key." At the reception desk, you program the credit card-like key with your country of origin and your preferred language, then, as you walk around the VitraHaus, you can use it at kiosks to learn the names and designers of the pieces on display. You can even use it to wish-list products and start shopping (since every product on display is also for sale).

When you get to the end of the strap, cut the wire, fold it over, and tie a knot as you did with the other end. And there you go! A brand new bracelet.

This postcard by French artist Francis Vareddes tells you all you need to know about the thrilling promise of the automobile.

The architects designed the bed and nightstands themselves and picked up the lamps from Target. "We've found that you can mix design and commodity stuff well if you're attentive to the overall presentation," says Schatz.

Each time you look in any direction you'll see something new. The streets seem to go on forever.

Here you can see just how close you are to the pond once you open a window. The lily pads were really at full tilt and in the distance in the water you can see unit blocks that guests can walk on quite far out into the water.

Created with the use of Processing, this is the touchscreen interface with which you can independently control the position of each leg. As you can see, you can tell it which direction you want it to walk, and how much to turn left or right (with three legs on the ground at all times for stability, moving at a maximum speed of 60 meters per hour).

Keep that in mind that whatever you carve away will be inkless. If you want an inky background, carve into the lines of your design, and if you’d rather have your design hold the ink, carve around the line on either side—making it whatever thickness you’d like—and cut away the rest. This may seem pretty basic but I have gotten mixed up myself before and unexpectedly made stamps in reverse-relief. That being said, sometimes the best results come from accidental moments; If you think you’ve messed up, don’t abandon ship. See what you can make of it.

Graphic cowhides on the guest bed, the dining chairs, and the living room floor unite the varying levels of the house. That design element—and the cute oil derrick lamp in the guest bedroom—remind you that, yes, you are in Texas. The drawings are by Erik’s brother Jair, an architect working in New York.

Lay out his face the way you want it.

Stuff Jabba through the small, unstitched hole you left.

What would you call this teardrop shaped wall hook?

I collected my plants in a rubber wheeled cart provided by the nursery, so you can pull it around as you study the plants.

Now you see it, now you don't. Infinity Drain's new TileDrain is designed to disappear into your tile work.

The dimensions of the Clarke sofa, as well as the L-shape orientation, helps to create a substantial seating and conversation area. The piece is 98'' x 93''.

Where the System 20 is the showpiece in the kitchen, from the master bedroom it’s impossible not to notice the egg-shaped Agape tub in the doorless bathroom. Picard glibly remarks, “When you’re spending $6,000 on a tub and $2,000 on a faucet fixture, you’ve got to make sure what you’re buying is something that stands out.”

Here are the set of stairs you see when you enter the hotel. Hard to imagine a better set of mid-century bones. Unfortunately the architect is not known.

The first floor of the house used to be a warren of five tiny rooms, and the first thing you saw when you walked in the front door was the attic staircase. Waechter opened the space up into one large, light-filled room. A birch plywood-sheathed box was designed to look like an oversized piece of furniture, mimicking the light wood of the Eames chair and Case Study Daybed, while cleverly hiding the stairs, storage, and powder room inside.

Taken on their own, as sculptures in concrete, the region’s freeways are an unappreciated source of beauty, an experiential artwork you can drive on.

The photographers also shot the 93-year-old’s assistant, Alisson Vega Avalos.

A closer look at the craftsmanship. Would you believe that the tan portions are leather?

Here you can see the two wood covers and the stitched binding.
