I bet most of us have seen that photo in social media. Mrizi i Zanave is a hotel and restaurant set on a countryside in Albania. Located in the village of Fishte, in the region of Zadrima, Mrizi i Zanave (fairy tale) certainly lives up to its name. The area was the birthplace of Gjergi Fishta, one of Albania’s great poets and Zadrima is famous for its handwoven, colourful, and ornate textiles. . There is this beautiful building that has a glass window between the broken stone wall. It also features a warm and cozy wooden interior designed by Plisatelier. Transferring old stone building into modern housing has become popular recently in Europe and East Asia since stone structure often lasts for centuries. A renovation can bring those histories and memories back to life. Take a ride!!!!

The three-storey, 17th-century skinny house in Antwerp, Belgium, is 2.4 metres wide on its smallest facade. It was bought by a couple who stumbled across the property while visiting the old city centre. It was designed by Belgian architecture firm DMVA as a cross between a holiday home for its owners and a tiny ,luxury hotel with just one double bedroom and internal spaces connected by a “promenade” of staircases. The “one room” hotel isn’t one room, exactly. An open-tread staircase leads from one floor to the next, each of which has its own function. The basement is the kitchen, the first floor is the lounge, the second floor contains the bathroom, and the third floor is where the main bedroom and sauna are located.
