Lively Urban Cabin in Brazil Features Nest Beds and a Spherical Shelf Window

<a href="http://www.fabiogaleazzo.com.br/2011/">Fabio Galiezzo</a> took a shabby shack in Brazil and transformed it into a colorful urban cabin decked out with nest beds and an awesome spherical shelf that frames views of the verdant surroundings. The original building was so dilapidated that Galeazzo propped it up with <a href="http://inhabitat.com/passive-bamboo-residence-keeps-cool-with-green-pixel-brise-soleils-facade/">bamboo beams and columns</a> and topped the whole place off with a series of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building-integrated_photovoltaics">green thermal tiles</a>. Flip through our gallery for photos of this inspiring project.

Fabio Galeazzo turned a shabby shack into a lively urban cabin in Brazil.

The original structure was so dilapidated that Galeazzo propped it up with bamboo beams and columns

The interior floors are finished with certified timber and brown granite

In order to offset the heavily wooded natural surroundings, they turned the building into an art project

The home features all kinds of beautiful stripes and irregular forms that we really love

Hanging nest beds reinforce the eco-consciousness

A spherical bookshelf window frames views of the outside

Color gives this green renovation project a youthfulness that was absent before

The roof is capped with solar thermal tiles.
