Beach houses and cabins are synonyms of relaxation and holiday-fun. If you own one you are lucky and if you are planning to get one constructed near your favorite eco-spot then you are super lucky! Why, I’m saying this is for the facts that, those who are yet to get one for themselves, have an option to make a responsible choice and pick up a design which is both environment-friendly and sustainable. Like Andrea Salvini’s Crab House! A multidisciplinary architect and industrial designer that he is, his designs reflect simplicity and functionality. He draws his inspiration from natural elements (flora & Fauna). His latest vision for the American Cabin-a beach house for Fire Island (NY) derives its anthropomorphic shape from a Crab!
The crab house is raised off the ground by stilts. To capture the scenic beauty of the vast ocean the front of the house is made of glass mostly. Its top floor bears a wide open-air solarium so that, on days when you are too lazy to go to beach you can bask in your own house and get sun-ergized! The interiors of the crab house are equally interesting with a ‘no-fuss’ notion evident everywhere.

Don’t you some times wish that the air you breathe inside your house should be more pure? Atleast that’s what the latest AC models backed with ion technology try to get your attention to. But how many of us can really afford these high-end air conditioners?
Now, there’s a cheaper and greener solution, which promises to revitalize you by refreshing your space indoor in a completely non-polluting, non-toxic manner! That’s Extend for you. A green gadget which exploits the much talked about ion technology and purifies the indoors of your sweet home.
Designed by Matteo Ragni, Extend comes from the house of industrial designer Sander Brouwer. The green gadget (as per its creators) purifies the air with negatively charged ions, which are released from its body. Extend is a sleek looking no-fuss gadget. Its flexibility allows itself to be used as both a fit in panel and a single-fit anywhere inside the house. It operates on solar power and very nicely compliments the little green corner within the four walls of your dwelling place. I guess it won’t be too much on your part then to extend yourself to newer possibilities and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
