Spanish Architect firm Selgas Cano thrills us with their spectacularly vibrant yet low-impact office that just merges into the landscape. It is sleek with minimalistic furniture but creates quite a visual impact with it colours and use of environment.

Selgascano's "office in the woods," is designed by the company's Jose Selgas and Lucia Cano. It's one long, tunnel-like office covered by a curved transparent acrylic window that's 20 millimeters thick and lets in plenty of natural light. The 110-millimeter-thick opaque wall is made from layers of insulated fiberglass and polyester, and shades the office.

To keep things inside cool, one of the ends of the office is attached to a pulley system and the slab can be raised or lowered, letting in some fresh air.

Working here would surely make you will feel like you are away from a busy life.
