The Rock of Cashel, also known as Cashel of the Kings and St. Patrick’s Rock, is a historic site in Ireland’s province of Munster, located at Cashel, South Tipperary. The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century. The picturesque complex has a character of its own and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe.
Spectacular Underwater Bedroom in Maldives
Sleeping underwater amongst marine life is something many of us could only daydream about. For some lucky travelers, this dream has now turned into a reality.
A little over five years ago, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island opened the very first undersea restaurant. To celebrate their anniversary, the restaurant offered guests the chance to not only eat under the sea, but sleep under it as well. The 12-seat restaurant, which sits 16 feet below sea level of the Indian Ocean, was converted into a private bedroom suite for two, complete with a private champagne dinner and breakfast in bed. The view of the vibrant coral reef that surrounds the encased clear glass is utterly breathtaking.

Sometimes we do so much to get nothing, while others seem to get a lot for doing absolutely nothing

The hillside home was rooted to its sloping hillside site by a steel skin which covers the home’s roof and exterior. An aluminum enclosure wraps around an open deck and patio, inviting outdoor living into the home’s floor plan. The main entrance was redesigned with cantilevered concrete walls set within a sunken courtyard, leading to a 4-by-11-ft. pivoting door that sweeps you inside.

![On of the rooms any intellectual, book avid, science rat or self proclaimed geek thinker should have in his/her house, is a place -or at least a corner- to read, to think, to expand…
To me -besides the toilet room (where I do happen to have a shelf :])- this room would be a home library. A place where I could come to consult pages of collections, editions and general knowledge that I have come to gather throughout my life.
Myself, I am not much of a screen reader. To comfortably read something, I have to feel the full experience. I have to be able to hold the book in my hands, enjoy the smell of the pages, the crisp in their sound as they fly by.
I am old school, I know. It just seems easier to learn, easier to “digest the information.”
Don’t know exactly why; that is just the way I prefer it.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpryskDPig1qgzz6so1_1280.jpg)

Small floor plan with a high ceiling? Here’s an awesome idea. By locating a living or storage space over another with the use of a platform.
This is a modern, industrial design. It features plain concrete walls, bare and polished metal components, leather, natural light and minimum decoration. Everything to the point, encouraging simplicity and sustainability.
Bare concrete, tho beautiful in its plain, naked form, (because of its high degree of thermal transfer) when exposed to the outdoor, interiors are hard to heat or cool. Sooo to rock this sityle in comfort, the perimeter of the house should be well insulated from the weather ;)

[Picture of the Sagrada Familia Cathedral]
Antoni Gaudi was an architect and designer, during the early 1900′s. He is considered by many as is the most internationally prestigious figure in Spanish architecture. In his work he used all sorts of different materials like wrought iron, stained glass, sculptural work, mosaics and ceramics to name a few. He designed and created within an organic style of decoration and with the integration of many elements during the construction process.
Gaudi has been identified with the Catalan Modernismo movement of the late nineteenth century. His work is of the international art nouveau style of the time. To make his work the collaboration of structural engineers, sculptors, and metalworkers was needed to carry out his ideas.
One of Antoni Gaudí’s most famous projects is the Sagrada Familia Cathedral. He worked on the project for over 40 years, devoting the last 15 years of his life to it. The Cathedral’s completion has been continuing because he left a number of models for the completion of the nave and the two other main facades. This church is expected to be finished by 2041, but there is much speculation from the people of Barcelona because the project has been going on for so long and there are controversies and mysteries surrounding it.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpk6cxdhq41qgzz6so1_500.jpg)
