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.
