Completed just a few years ago in 2009 is the amazing Villa Vals by SeARCH and CMA. The concept behind the home was to build something that would not disturb the surrounding nature, a concept similar to the Productoria built hillside residence in Mexico.

Seeing that the home is built into a slanted hillside, the only way to gain access is the nearby wooden Graubünder shed, which connects to a tunnel running right through the mountainside. This place is currently available as a vacation destination, and can be rented for anywhere from €1750 to €3450 per week.

This modern property was designed and created by Portuguese architect Mario Martins, and is located in Lagos, Portugal. This home features all of them must have amenities of a dream resort right down to the infinity pool overlooking the beautiful ocean. The highlight of this home is most certainly the incredible curved roof showcased on the back side of the residence.

Giant Birdsnest Bed by O*GE

Designed by the team at O*GE, this massive bed replicates a bird nest in human size proportions. The concept behind the Giant Birdsnest Bed is “creating new ideas.”  The designers had the following to say about the bed.

“It’s powerful, yet simple concept and intriguing character needs no explanation or user manual: Ready to to be used, to be played in, and be worked in. With its 4.50 m diameter the big version can host up to 16 people at once, offering a comfortable and sensual soft space, various sitting positions, configurations for informal meetings and social exchange.”
