Marie Granmar and Charles Sacilotto decided to build a green house over top of their home for added warmth, more usable square footage and the ability to grow food year round in Stockholm. They even took the roof off and made the space into a terrace. You can see the original article here.

Architect Zaha Hadid would like to be paid for her firms work on the 2020 Tokyo Olympic stadium. Apparently the Japan Sport Council is withholding money in exchange for ZHA giving up claims to copyrights.
Zaha Hadid design for the 80,000-seat stadium was selected by the council on Nov. 16, 2012. Later the this design was rejected because of cost and on Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2015 the Japan Sports Council announced a newly selected design by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Hadid's office submitted a document to the Council explaining the similarities of "the structure, layout and numerous elements" between ZHA's original design and the latest. Unfortunately, is not uncommon for governments or large corporate organizations to bully designers into getting their way by withholding payment. Original story here.
Why add more space when you can just transform the space you have? Christian Schallert has a small 258 square foot apartment in a hip neighborhood of Barcelona. The brilliance of the space is that all storage is pulled against the walls with open space in the center. The furniture can then fold out into the circulation space in the center which configures the room into a kitchen, lounge, dining or bedroom. Christian calls it an active apartment because he is always re-configuring it throughout the day based on his needs and jokes that it keeps him in top shape.
