How to make our cabinet or cupboard looks more natural? If it in our mind, might natural bark pieces can become one choice. By cutting it into small pieces of random shape. If we’ve collected a lot, we can coat with lacquer to make it more shiny. And then start to glue them to the cabinet doors. The result will definitely impress you and all you guests. It’s easy, isn’t it?

Description from Flansburgh Architects:
In this new 6,100 square foot renewable-energy research laboratory, students will study, design, and evaluate renewable-energy technologies. The award-winning facility meets the Living Building Challenge, a threshold that exceeds the USGBC’s Platinum LEED rating. It produces all of its own energy needs, harvests rainwater to meet its potable water needs, and provides natural ventilation and views to 100% of its occupied spaces. Sophisticated energy models were used to form the shape and fenestration of the building during the design.
