f you are a fan of contemporary architecture, then check out this modern Mexican villa from JCNAME Architects. Too parallel boxes, each with a well defined design were connected together for this project called “MO House”. White, red and black were the colors chosen for the exterior, a palette which brings a sober touch. Large windows facilitate a good indoor illumination and contribute to the overall modern design. Privacy is not an issue, as the frosted glass does not allow too much visibility. The interior is minimalist, with stairs connecting the floors and interesting looking furniture. The illuminated floors and large painting are elements that build up the home’s personality.-via Dagen’s Design

Check out all of the gorgeous work this group of youngsters has completed by cleaning dirt and grime off of their town’s walls.

For artist Hongtao Zhou, creating magnificent snow sculptures isn’t very difficult in winters as cold as those found in Wisconsin. But when Zhou was commissioned by the Milwaukee Art Museum to produce an installation of dancing ice furniture on its front lawn, things got a little disagreeable on account of the thermostat readings. In the face of unseasonably warm temperatures and a front lawn almost completely surrounded by windows, Zhou continued undeterred deciding that this year’s furniture should embrace the heat and turn all that melting into a way convey the issue of global warming.
