Urban Cactus, Netherlands
This very spectacular apartment structure was created by UCX Architects as an illustration of how to make the most of alternating patterns to provide more sunlight for outdoor spaces in future communal living. The innovative design, which has 98 residential apartments and 19 floors, gives each residence access to sunlight, both on the garden petal and in some areas of the interior. The project was planned to provide spectacular city views in addition to green space close to the Vuurplaat Port. The building’s construction started in 2006.

Sea Rescue Station, Germany
The design of this particular sea rescue station, which has been converted to homes along with many others throughout the world, is particularly distinctive. It was built in 1968 by German engineers Ulrich Müther and Dietrich Otto, and Ulrich refurbished it once more in 2004. In his career, he also constructed a variety of other structures, such as planetariums, restaurants, and mosques. Although it appears to be the perfect seaside house, the Binz Rescue Station is actually the registrar office’s maid room.
