Chengdu Creative Residential Buildings in China, have become known online for their playful, dollhouse-like design. The complex features a series of colorful, toy-like structures with an architectural style that’s both creative & imaginative. The buildings’ design is inspired by fairy tales & children’s stories, with features such as twisted spires, oversized windows, & vibrant hues.
This is entrance building to Eriksberg wildlife Park in Sweden – Scandinavia’s largest, designed by Sandellsandberg. The building was designed to provide visitors with a strong visual landmark where none previously existed.
The facade is clad in the iconic copper red Swedish colour & consists of vertical wooden slats of varying lengths arranged in curved shapes – creating the illusion of fabric draped around the structure.
Ting1 is a residential building in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, designed by Gert Wingårdh & were ready for occupancy in 2013.
The facades of the lower ten floors are clad with glazed ceramics & the top floor in painted sheet metal. Facades, roofs & undersides of balconies are all colored in eight shades of red, yellow & green.
The ceramic tiles are consistently 60 x 60 in size, which has partly determined the placement of windows & balconies. 78 glazed balconies protrude from the four facades of the square building, to the 51 residential apartments.

Namsos Church is a parish church belonging to the Church of Norway & is located in the center of the town of Namsos, just north of the mouth of the Namsen River. The large brick church was built in 1960 to replace the previous one that was bombed & burned during World War II.
The rectangular church was built according to drawings by architect Ola B. Aasness & has room for approximately 622 people. The church also has a free-standing belfry on the south side of the main building. A clear 60s architecture.
A sauna cabin in the Helsinki archipelago. The building follows the coastline with a terrace area that protects from the strong sea wind. The exterior cladding is made of larch that turns beautifully grey over time & blends perfectly into the cliff, so the buildings do not stand out from the shore when seen from the sea.
