Eiko Koike - Beautiful Asian Women

One of the most popular women on this blog is the lovely Eiko Koike.
Eiko was born on November 20th, 1980 in Tokyo, Japan.
She is a Japanese idol (who are usually singers, bit-part actors, TV personalities and models) who worked as a ringside commentator and spokesperson for Japan's MMA promotion, PRIDE Fighting Championships from 2000 to 2006.
Eiko has been married to professional wrestler and MMA fighter Wataru Sakata since August 29th, 2007.
(Wataru's MMA record is 11-13-0, and his last fight was in 2003)
Eiko and Wataru both made appearance in the bizzarre HUSTLE wrestling promotion in Japan.

Along with Maho Nonami, Eiko starred in 2LDK, a film about two actresses up for the same part, that leads into them pretty much beating the crap outta each other for the remainder of the film.

She has appeared in over 20 TV shows and films, and in 2009, she won the Yokohama Film Festival Best Actress Award for her role in Seppun (Kiss).

Sustainable Architectural Design

Sustainable Architectural Design by German Architects

“Modular,” “sustainable” and “transportable” – these are three words used to describe this sustainable architectural design from Germany’s Studio Aisslinger. The Fincube is a low-energy house characterized by its horizontal slats of locally grown timber enclosing a transparent, glass wall structure. Packing a great punch in 47m2 of living space, these eco homes boast a clean, contemporary style to match the clean method of design and construction in these small CO2-footprint homes. Interiors are minimalist in look and maximalist in feel and function, with every modern convenience at your fingertips, wherever that may be (these modular homes are easily dismantled and reassembled). This compact home design is small but sweet – the way of the eco-friendly future!

Modern Loft Living in Australia

Modern Loft Living in Australia - oriented strand board charm!

Living in this modern loft must be fun! Australian architecture firm Edwards Moore designed this cool, contemporary loft extension in Fitzroy, Melbourne that can only be described as "shabby-chic". The largely open-concept home features decidedly high-end, luxurious-looking elements like concrete and reflective surfaces juxtaposed against the exposed oriented strand board furniture and built-ins (which takes on its own unique charm in this creative context), making this compact home literally the definition of shabby-chic. Throughout, one quick look and you’ll understand why it’s called the Cubby House – a collection of built-in shelving and cubby units offer plenty of stylish storage – a must in a small home. And bringing multi-function to this space, we love the bathtub in the master bedroom!
