Interesting Architecture Home and Away

[NurseRatched]

Very pretty--I love all the curves and wood...and all those windows! It looks like it could have been built recently. Thanks for a glimpse inside!

I do agree NR - it is lovely. It's funny cos before I read your comments I was thinking just how much like a lego house it looked.
The inside has a wonderful feeling of space and light - totally unexpected.
Nice find Dee.

Another beautiful building in a dramatic setting we have come across on our travels:



Basílica de Santa María la Real de Covadonga, Asturias, Spain

Spectacular! The scenery is equally impressive. Above the clouds

Just a little tidbit...FROM WIKI:
The temple was designed by the German architect Roberto Frassinelli and built between 1877 and 1901 by architect Federico Aparici y Soriano. It is a Neo-Romanesque church made entirely of pink limestone.

Thanks, NR!
It is the pink limestone that makes this church particularly gorgeous!

It really does look quite amazing - that first picture is particularly stunning!!!!!

The Crooked House, in Sopot, Poland, Krzywy Domek was built in 2004. It is about 4,000 square meters in size and is part of the Rezydent shopping center.



It was designed by Szotyńscy & Zaleski, who were inspired by the fairytale illustrations and drawings of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg.

Wild! Me thinks he could be some kind of Hundertwasser disciple! I do like the drawings very much; I feel like I'm on an acid trip looking at the actual building Have you been here, Agi?
