Bolivia-Salar de Uyuni
Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is a place people don’t just visit. Rather,
they inhale its vastness and colours with every fibre of their being.
Salar de Uyuni is a place of superlatives – the world’s largest salt
flat, world’s biggest reserve of lithium, the best place on Earth to
callibrate satellites – in short: a visual miracle and mirror to the
skyVisitors grappling with the vastness of the place and the high
altitude are in for a special treat during the rainy season in the
winter: The whole desert turns into a shallow pool with a smooth
surface, a gigantic mirror in other words.

The Froschkönig Treehouse by Baumraum
The Froschkönig Treehouse by Baumraum In a small private garden in Münster this space hovers above a flat
pool, framed by high bamboo stilts. The visitors reach the staircase
across 3 natural-stone steps between water-lilies.The terrace, made of
tatajuba-wood, rests on four stainless-steel stilts and is big enough
to relax comfortable on it. Some steps and a small catwalk lead the
visitors to the cabin.The curved cabin in the middle of the pool is
covered with a zinc-sheet and lamellas of tatajuba-wood underneath. It
rests on eight asymmetrical arranged stilts. Large curved glass at the
gables and slim windows at the sides lighten the interior and give a
bright and transparent look to the cabin.Inside the visitors notice
the big curved rooftop-window above the pale lying surface. Below the
bench on the opposite side drawers give enough storage space. Walls,
floor and furniture made of white-glazed ash underline the bright and
minimalistic character of the interior.
