Atrium House by BFS Design
I thought I’d come through with a little architecture for you all today as a means to balance up what we’ve got lined up already on the platform from the past few days.

This innovative house from the quirkily named “Suppose” design office attempts to bring the outside inside, implementing an interior sand floor with raised beds that form the traditional areas of the home. At a first glance it’s hard not to question the practical …
