OCTOPUS – House in Dubai

The glass house design by Stipfold Architects (Tbilisi, Georgia) is condensed with multiple rooms of various functionalities and in order to balance the busyness, it is executed with minimalistic approach.

Transparent walls convey a sense of unity of internal areas, as well as wholeness with the external space and amplify the contrast between hot climate and the cool interior.

For achieving a privacy in a single room, it may be skirted with remotely controlled white panels, spread with simplified oriental ornaments.

Shadows casted by these traditional outlines augment the particular character of the house.

The miniature waterfalls drop at the entrance door and in the backyard pool. Small gardens symmetrically break up the space adding organic atmosphere to the house.

Miniature city on Mars:

The ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has announced intentions to build a “miniature city” on Mars within the next 100 years, reports Arabian Business.

Sheikh Mohammed, who also serves as the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, launched the project at the World Government Summit.

Entitled the 2117 Mars project, the endeavor aims to develop scientific capabilities, and may result in the conversion of local universities into research facilities.

The project will focus on parallel research into exploring means of mobility, housing, energy and food as well as speeding up the time it takes to travel to the planet.

“There are no limits to the imagination and aspirations of human beings,” he tweeted.
