This Just Looks Cool !

Yuriy Dmtriev, a Russian design student looks like he has designed the solution to many of our food storage problems with what he calls the 'Big Robot Refrigerator'. This convenient refrigerator uses biopolumer to cool groceries through luminescence, is odourless and non-sticky. Items are suspended in little pods for easy access, all you got to do is stick your hand in and grab the item of your choice, which you'll be able to clearly see as the gel is transparent..

Obama Just Stepped Up In Our Good Books

If Obama couldn't be loved even more right now. The President of the United States just got ahead of his peers as just two months ago, we reported Daryl Hannah had voiced her opinions urging President Obama to re-instate the solar panels that Former President Reagan had removed during his time at the office. Well, we can gladly say Obama has listened to his constituents and announced plans for solar panels to be built back onto the White House by spring 2011.

Making The Most Out Of The Smallest

Getting the maximum possible use from a minimum amount of space is the key to living in Tokyo, so this tiny house uses an ingenious stacked box construction that creates its own storage space.
Designed by Architect Yasuhiro Yamashita, the Cell Brick House uses 18-in by 36-in steel boxes. Which includes ceramic tile cladding to insulate the structure from heat and cold, two bedrooms, living room, and a kitchen which are adequatley spread over two floors connected by a spiral staircase, while a full basement and roof garden provide a little additional space. All this on a plot about the size of a typical American one car garage.

The boxes are open to the inside of the house, so their 12-in depth makes every interior surface into an endless wall of cubbies that can be used for storage. Pretty cool, huh ?

This is an impressive use of space, although I expect not having a clear view of the outside gets very claustrophobic. Well, you can always escape to the roof garden !
