The architect Safdie Rabines has designed the Hilltop House in Rancho Santa Fe, California.

The home was designed to maximize the 360 degree views from its hilltop location, just north of San Diego.

The home is currently being offered for sale ($7,000,000) through the agents at Gallagher & Gallagher.

Stockholm-based Sommarnöjen (Summer Enjoyment in English) has just unveiled the designs for five new beautiful 15-square-meter second houses.

Sommarnöjen provides the houses ready-built on site. Some are suitable for year-round use as well.

The mini-houses are also great as additions to a larger dwelling — as guest houses, studios, workshops, separate bedrooms and of course, saunas.

Selgas Cano is a Spanish architecture firm, and this long glass tube in a little wooded ravine is the Madrid office they’ve built for themselves.

The shutters over the clear roof are retractable and allow for natural light to pour into the space.

Ceilings are both low and high, depending on the retraction of the roof and on which part of the room you’re in.

Architect Nicholas Day has designed this new house in the Malvern suburb of Melbourne, Australia.

The home has recently been listed for sale by the agents at RT Edgar
