These artworks by Polish-born architect Rafal Bujnowski are stunning in their simplicity.

Architect Jim Garrison of Brooklyn-based Garrison Architects designed this lakeside retreat named Koby for visiting families at a boarding school for troubled teens in Albion, Michigan. Well thought out, the house has been designed with two bedrooms at opposite ends with a common dining area in the middle - this was so individual families could still have a sense of autonomy when visiting their children. Garrison also designed the building in an X formation, with two modular structures united by a common passageway. The living area that overlooks the lake seats eight at a banquette table and also sleeps an additional three people. The whole project was designed with privacy and rehabilitation in mind - the setting definitely lends a hand.

Generative art refers to art that has been generated, composed, or constructed in an algorithmic manner through the use of systems defined by computer software algorithms, or similar mathematical autonomous processes. Keith Peters, writes code in a variety of languages and when it looks nice, he uploads it to his website. He calls it generative art. We like it.

The design brief was to the point: Design a product that would get the production line in a beanbag factory going again.

Cinderella's Revenge is a chandelier created by Fiona Gall as an altar to the love of shoes. A cascade of tubular glass, metallic chain, Swarovski crystal and miniature magnifying glasses are among the details of the magnificent piece. A train of luxuriously covered heels trails along the floor, with light fading from the tubular glass fringes.

Representing the colours of the Earth's four elements - orange (fire), brown (earth), white (air) and blue (water) - and symbolize Husqvarna's commitment to sustainable product development and design the Automowers have no emission, are electric and mow within boundaries set by a wire buried under the grass.

If you're planning a trip to the Black Sea this (northern hemisphere) summer, you may want to stay at The Pipe House.  A weekend get-away retreat by Butenko Vasiliy and Sergey Mahno,  is located along the Black sea, just at the edge of the Crimean Mountains of the Ukraine. Planned as an oasis for rest and relaxation, the house has been divided into zones by opaque and translucent screens, allowing the user flexibility in shading the sun, creating privacy, and blocking off areas when entertaining guests.
