Top 5 richest people according to Bloomberg
Bloomberg has released its August 2024 list of the world's wealthiest individuals, showcasing the titans who dominate global business. Let's take a look at who sits atop this prestigious ranking
House with greenhouse in Czech Republic
In 2020, an extraordinary house was built in the village of Chlum, Czech Republic. It combines the features of a house and a greenhouse. Its long terrace provides direct access to the rooms. The design of the House with a greenhouse is similar to the projects most often used in Asian countries. In the center of the House with a greenhouse, there is a huge living room which can be entered from any side of the building.
Bumpers Oast in UK
Another remarkable house is Bumpers Oast designed as a hop-drying kiln. Similar buildings were typically used from the 15th century up to the 19th century. The house, designed for a large family, includes five tile-clad towers connected in the center. Each tower consists of a separate block with a bedroom and a bathroom. In addition, the dwelling contains playrooms.
The Red Roof in Vietnam
Asian countries also keep up with European ones in terms of unique houses. The Red Roof, designed for a couple from Quang Ngai, Vietnam, won the Best Rural Home award. Its roof is covered with large red tiles and has planters for growing vegetables. The outside area is rather small. The courtyard is split up into several parts. The Red Roof has a paddy drying yard, outdoor stove, and bicycle repair space. Thanks to the design of the house where industrial elements surround the living areas, all the space can be effectively used.
Landaburu Borda in Spain
The original building, called Landaburu Borda, sits close to the Spanish town of Bera and is surrounded by the Navarra mountains. It is a small stone house, connected by a glass corridor with a concrete annex on the hill. To reduce the environmental impact, the terrace of Landaburu Borda has been hidden under the adjacent hillside. It houses a large living, dining, and kitchen area. Landaburu Borda has four bedrooms, several bathrooms, and storage space.
La Torre Bianca in Italy
The fifth unique house built during the pandemic is La Torre Bianca. The building was designed by architect Lorenzo Grifantini. The exterior of the dwelling resembles a tower. In fact, La Torre Bianca is translated to The White Tower in English. Grifantini designed the villa as a home for his own family. The house is located in Gagliano del Capo, the Italian commune. From above, the building looks like a fortress. The central courtyard features a swimming pool and a large tree. According to the architect , the courtyard is the heart of his home. La Torre Bianca also has an observation deck on the top floor.
