Don’t get carried away by the storm... Be the storm and make life how you envision it. Everyone survives when those stronger help those that are weaker. Survival is meaningless if you are strong and don’t help others. Here’s a house meant to last through the strongest storm.

The Easy House by TRU Architects

The only illusions people have are in their mind. Life is easy when you focus on what you want, put in the effort and go after it. Never let anyone to compare their struggle to yours & belittle what you have experienced or accomplished. What may seem hard to one person is easy to another and what one person thinks is easy isn’t what another person lives through. Focus on your own path and you’ll see results. Here’s an easy dream house....

The Easy House by TRU Architects



The architects designed a simple high ceiling space for the clients because they wanted to have family gathering and simple bedrooms. Located in a new residential district surrounded by the mountains the home utilizes the natural light and mountain view to provide an aesthetic balance.












Would you find ease in the simplicity of this home?

The House of the Crying Widow by E. Brandtmann

Barbie knows it’s healthy to cry when you’re disappointed or upset when it doesn’t go your way or you experience a loss. It’s ok to feel bad when things go badly but it’s not ok to dwell in it. Strong people cry and are comforting when they see others cry. Weak people mock people for crying and tell them to tough it out. Sometimes you have to accept things as they are or that’s your plans will not going to work one way so you can learn to move on and sometimes that does mean there’s tears to work through the feelings of frustration. Creating your own path isn’t always an option or the best option for everyone so realize that the best part of life not working out is learning that there’s another way. 

Thomas Edison once said, “I have not failed 1,000 times. I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb.” You’ve not failed by a setback or disappointment or a loss, you’ve learned acceptance from the experience of grief or discovered what doesn’t work. Crying or getting upset by the process of living is a valid emotional release. Here’s dreamhouse worth the tears that suits the season of macabre. 

The House of the Crying Widow by E. Brandtmann




The Art Nouveau mansion was built in 1907 by the architect E. Bradtmann, commissioned by the Poltava merchant of the 2nd guild of S. Arshavsky. In 1918 the building was nationalized, to this day government structures are located in it. Its facade is decorated with a sad woman's face, which rain drips down the face, and it seems that the woman is crying. Which is where the mansion gets its popular name.

The Focus House by Bere Architects

When you focus on your needs first then help others, your life flourishes. Try working on improving yourself before focusing to help or dictate to others what they ought to be doing or changing. You can’t help someone else that is failing, if you’re failing too. Chances are, your need to fix others & project what you feel onto them is a means to distract yourself from negative issues within yourself that you wish to avoid focusing. Having material wealth, love and etc. doesn’t equal that you do not have issues... you will have negative issues until you focus within to resolve them. Love yourself. Here’s a dream house to focus on... 

The Focus House by Bere Architects 



The Focus House is quite unique house in that it is sandwiched between a couple of Victorian houses.  The view of the home makes it appear too thin for comfort, but in reality, it’s a wedge shaped design that widens toward the back.   The house design further contrasts with the surrounding homes with grey zinc cladding vs the typical brick exteriors. 














Would you focus on this dreamhouse?
