259 sq. ft. oak cabin designed and built by Rupert McKelvie in Devon, UK

Submitted by Out of the Valley / @outofthevalley_

The black external cladding and roof help the cabin sit quietly in the landscape, by contrast all the interior furniture and panelling has been tinted white with organic oils to create a greater sense of space. The frame is made from green oak that slowly dries and darkens with time, its powered by solar and heated with a convection wood stove.

20 Windmill-Powered Music Boxes

Installation by @royrobotiks features a collection of wind-powered music boxes (which you can make yourself):

A cluster of windmills is installed above the heads of the pedestrians on a public square in Namur, Belgium. Once the wind blows, each propeller powers a little music box that plays “Für Elise”. Since all music boxes are driven asynchronously, the single notes and chords of Beethoven’s iconic music piece are constantly re-arranged. The result is a wind powered sound installation which scrambles the original and permanently produces new compositions based on one of the world’s most well known melodies.
