Imagine walking downtown in your city and seeing a giant box. Now imagine walking into that box and finding yourself in a huge never-ending forest with the sun shining on your face and leaves falling everywhere. Sounds like something from The Chronicles of Narnia but that's what you'll feel when (if) you walk into the "Unlimited Urban Woods" Project by DUS Architects in Oosterdokskade, Amsterdam. It was comissioned to be a "love provoking art piece" for their "Liefde in de Stad" (Love In the City) Festival and makes use of specific mirror placement to make a single tree look like an infinite forest. Here's to hoping they take the installation on tour..

Design: Karaka Bay House
New Zealand based architects Stevens Lawson Limited have put together an incredible new home in Auckland, New Zealand. Founded by Nicholas Stevens & Gary Lawson, Stevens Lawson is a team dedicated to producing innovative buildings and engaging landscape. The Karaka House is inspired by a collection of interlocking concrete box forms. The three level home features a timberline spiral staircase, textured smooth concrete walls, while skylights and glass give the home limitless natural lighting not to mention immaculate views. Perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking Browns Island in the Waitenmatu Harbour, you can find this beautiful urban fortress. Take a look see.-D. Griff
