Grand Beedapest Hotel from Taylors Tea
Bee and Breakfast
Micro-flats might be all the rage but the Grand Beedapest Hotel takes micro-living to a whole new level.
Designed by Taylors Tea to draw attention to the decline of the bee population, this whimsical doll-house sized hotel for bees features a check-in reception (accessorised with a mini laptop), a restaurant, luxury bedrooms, a disco as well as a spa with a gym. Can't think of a better way to treat our little hard working friends.

Curvaceous Creations by Partisans Architects
Curves - they are organic, playful, comforting and sensual - what's not to like? The architects at Toronto-based Partisans certainly agree, and they are masters at applying curves in their projects.
