01. ESLICE Prefab Homes Inspired by Loaves of Bread
“A good loaf of bread is what inspired this traditional, yet narrow prefab home. The ESLICE home is a Latvian creation designed to satisfy the desire for high quality of living, but at a reasonable cost. As the designers explain, ESLICE is exactly like a hearty piece of rye bread – satisfying, affordable, comforting, and simple. The thin profile home takes design ideas from traditional Latvian barns, uses machine cut wood to build the small structure and comes delivered completely furnished and ready to go.” (inhabitant)

Pionen – White Mountain designed by Albert France-Lanord Architects is housed in a former 1,200 sqm Cold War bunker (originally built as a World War II bunker); an amazing location 30 meters down under the granite rocks of the Vita Berg Park in Stockholm.” (archfdaily)

Well, Pionen might be the physical location of some Wikileak’s servers but it’s not so plausible that it’s the actual headquarters, since Pionen is just a server facility for Bahnhof, a swedish ISP.
