DIYer architect John Tong, founding principal of 3rd Uncle Design, turned a century-old industrial dairy in a back alley into a home with a colorful playground for three kids. “The courtyard is an extension of the house, with a big table that hosts parties, a stage for impromptu performances, and part of an old loft overhead that will one day become a tree house for the children.”

A few weeks back I posted an article titled Modern & Eco-Friendly Indoor Gardens in which I talked about string gardens by Fedor van der Valk. As promised, here is a tutorial on how to make your own hanging string-bound Kokedama moss balls.
Kokedama is an old Japanese botanic art form which has been lately revived. The following tutorial with accompanying instructional photos are courtesy of Sicilian-born Amsterdam-based designer Aura Scaringi from Miss Moussetache. A portfolio of her work can be found at Mimimou; an urban exploration, graphic design and illustration studio.
