If there’s anything that gets our head turning, it’s great architecture. Located on a flag lot, a steep sloping grade provided the opportunity to bring the main level of this brilliant house into the tree canopy to evoke the feeling of being in a tree house. A lover of music, the client wanted a house that not only became part of the natural landscape but also addressed the flow of music. One must actually stroll through the house to grasp its complexities and its connection to the exterior. One example is a natural wood ceiling, floating on curved laminated wood beams, passing through a generous glass wall which wraps around the main living room. The genius behind this creation is Robert Harvey Oshatz and his work can be found here.

Remember those luxurious workplaces at Facebook and Google? Well, if the lifestyle of those employees didn’t inspire you to apply for the jobs listed on their website than we’ve got the thing for you. Last year Twitter was the fastest growing community on the internet. In February ‘08 they had close to 475K members and a year later that number has grown to a staggering 7,038,000. Today, you can find anyone and everyone on Twitter from Barack Obama to Jimmy Carr to us! Enough about the company itself and a little more about their workplace, or shall we say their palace! We couldn’t help ourselves but start the gallery with snaps of the employees. They look so happy and cute! Have a look for yourself. Did we forget to mention that they’re hiring? Have a look at the open positions here.

Have you noticed how here in London it’s suddenly become trendy to knit on the tube?
