Stunning artists studios

Looking for a retreat to cleanse your soul then this three storey studio in Norway may fit the bill.

This structure is one of six studios designed by Saunders Architecture and is only reachable by hiking.

Saunders web site tells us, 'The Shorefast Foundation and the Fogo Island Arts Corporation commissioned Todd Saunders to design a series of six artists’ studios on various Fogo Island locations. The organization is committed to preserving the Islanders’ traditions and aims at rejuvenating the island through the arts and culture.'

A stunning structure in a beautiful environment however some purists may disagree.

Real Madrid launches Island Resort in UAE

This really is a venture outside the usual remit of a football club.

Real Madrid has announced that it is going to create an island retreat in the United Arab Emirates.

This $1 billion holiday resort and theme park will include beach side bungalows, a 10,000 seat stadium, an amusement park and a five star hotel.

With many of Real Madrid's fans in Asia this will provide an opportunity for their followers to emerse themselves in the brand, literally.
