Considering the fact that the streets of Berlin contain so much quality street art, we can qualify them as an outdoor museum that keeps surprising passersby, especially tourists who come visit the city.

The point of this kind of art is to boost awareness, originality and to provoke people to think with their own heads. However, it’s surprisingly how much creativity hides in young minds who decided to paint the city and managed to attract people’s attention and paint their minds on the street walls.

If you still haven’t visited Berlin and enjoyed its ‘outdoor museum’, you don’t know what you’re missing. Scroll down and let us show you. Who knows, maybe peeking into the street art of the Berlin walls will make you catch the first plane to visit this artistic city.

If you have always been interested in workplaces of the heads of state, we bring to your attention this interesting collection.

Almost every one of us has dreamed of becoming president, only in order to live like them, have their homes and offices. This desire is understandable, because the heads of state have such houses and workplaces that make heads spin. They have dozens of luxury rooms, filled with chic furnishings, elegant interiors sometimes in the spirit of a palace.

1. USA.

The president uses the Oval Office as their primary place of work. He usually chooses the Oval Office as a backdrop for a televised address to the nation and to meet with leaders of foreign countries. The Oval Office has three large windows facing south, and 4 doors.

2. Russia.

The office of the President is located in the center of the business part of the residence. The Cabinet is small and most convenient for work. In the center of the room is the president’s desk. Above the table there is the emblem of the Russian Federation. Closer to the window one more table – for negotiations, business meetings and meetings with close aides.

3. Germany.

The office of German Chancellor Angela Merkel looks extremely modest: inexpensive desktop phones, monitor, business card holder, a lamp and a globe.

4. Ukraine.

The president uses three rooms with a total area of 128.8 square meters for his working meetings and conferences: an office, a reception room with workplace assistant and a meeting room.

5. Nigeria.

President Muhammad Bukhari after the inauguration works in his home office.

6. Iran.

Very minimalistic office. On the table there is a computer and writing implements. You can immediately see that the state administration isn’t a creative profession.

7. Argentina.

The office of the President of Argentina Cristina Kirchner looks quite representative. On the table a lot of books and manuals.

8. Turkmenistan.

Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, as seen from his office, he prefers laptops rather than paper information.

Perhaps the most minimalistic office belongs to the president of Vietnam.

The project Urban Treehouses offers a new type of residential buildings. New houses are located in Zehlendorf district which is in vicinity of the Berlin’s city center.

This project was developed by Kolja Stegemann and his grandfather. They designed the house consisted of two cubic units of 226 square feet of living space. These cubes hover on a 13 foot high base and have a kitchen, bathroom, and a terrace. The Baumraum construction company built these amazing modern treehouses and equipped them with warm and bright interiors.
