Coffee Break

8 Quirky Houses Around The World – I’m becoming increasingly interested in creative architectural spaces. Some of the houses shown in this article would be incredibly awesome to live in. I especially like the Stone House (#1), the Oast Houses (#4), and the Kvivik Igloo (#7). Others were just a bit too crazy. Which one do you like?

This post helps to clarify that.

If God should have no more mercy on us than we have charity to one another, what would become of us? – Thomas Fuller
