Romanian studio Modul 28 renovated and expanded the rectory of a church in Transylvania, converting it into a guesthouse.
Readers were stunned by the extension, with one calling it a "very smart and humble project!" Another joked, "Cool trips to the loo aside, this is great!" adding that they "love the use of common materials in expressive ways."
Other stories in this week's newsletter that fired up the comments section include designs for the California High-Speed Rail line, a robot that uses living skin and Marlon Blackwell Architects' design for an air traffic control tower at Colombus Municipal Airport in Indiana.
