Commentary: This is the interior of a cute reading pod someone can install in their yard, if they have one. There's a skylight, shelves for books, spot to curl up, see-through doors so there's light to read by and a nice view. Cute little construction. You can see the exterior here, if you like: Polyhedron exterior


Info provided by Design Boom: Colombia-based Manuel Villa Arquitecto has completed a habitable polyhedron dwelling for a backyard in Bogota, Colombia. The aim of 'polyhedron pod' is to create a space for leisure activities such as reading, and to help visitors reconnect with nature and the surrounding landscape. 


The design features an expansive wooden deck leading up to a set of glass and steel doors. The built-in furniture in the interior includes a desk, cupboards, shelving, and a bench. The walls are left in their natural, untreated teak form on the inside, while a black, honeycomb-patterned skin wraps the outside. 


The final shape of the structure was determined after a number of model studies were drawn up and eventually scrapped. The finished form was chosen for its versatility, adaptability and structure.

Commentary: Set up very simply, there's just enough room on the table for a pot of tea and a well-selected book you've been waiting to read. The colors here are also pleasant, making a bit of time spent reading seem like a happy indulgence.


This probably wouldn't be a spot for a few hours of reading - but it would be a nice spot to bring a tote bag, directly from a book shop, to sit and look at all the interesting new titles you've acquired, then select the perfect one and make a good start on the first few chapters.


The planter on the table is charming, but could easily just be put on the floor, if more space on the tabletop were wanted.


Commentary from the photographer (Leone Fabre): My special little corner of the world, where I usually sit at some stage during the day reading a book and having coffee or perhaps a green tea. This is my balcony on the 18th floor of the condo where I live in Singapore. It's a beautiful little haven at any time of the day or night - but the view at night is stunning.
