Cove Park totally pulls off a shipping container village in a pastoral setting. It’s situated on a Scotland peninsula and focuses on artist-in-residency programs. Six “cubes” were designed by Urban Space Management, London, three of which are living quarters and 3 are workspaces. It’s amazing to me how steel industrial containers can take on a new life and blend in with the environment here.

More whimsy: I just stumbled upon the nest-like structures of environmental artist Patrick Dougherty. This piece is entitled “Just Around the Corner.”

A whimsical structure in the Catskills — entitled Lower Case “a” Frame — is a creative take on the traditional “A” frame house. Designed by installation artist Matt Bua of Brooklyn, NY and found on B-Home Studio blog. I can’t wait to see what “b-home” turns out to be.

Tiny kitchens have been on my mind, and thanks to Ryan I’ve gotten a glimpse of another one in this recent NY Times article. The 25-year-old occupant admits that he doesn’t cook much in his 187 square foot apartment in Brooklyn, but he did get a junior design job after sharing photos of his tastefully designed abode. Take a look.
If you are a serious cook and you have a tiny kitchen, what are your must-have items?

Cupid hit me this weekend with designer Linda Aldredge’s 100-square-foot treehouse near Woodstock, NY. Inspired by DIY handmade houses from the 60s and 70s, she built this as an off-grid vacation home for “posh camping.” Her blog is here, though she doesn’t seem to be writing in it lately, and she was interviewed on Inhabitat here. Linda scores extra points with me when, written up in Domino Magazine, she says “I don’t see the point in constructing anything that’s not magical.” Her budget was $12,000.
