One of Leo Qbarsdebo's latest architectural designs is impressive for a number of reasons. Namely, it takes on an [unusual triangular shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-raval) that rivals that of the pyramids -- at least when it comes to a liveable space -- and it is also made out of unusual materials: pieces of an old puzzle factory.

Located in [rural Sweden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-ottsj), Leo Qbarsdebo's triangle villa not only adds to the gorgeous landscape, it provides unobstructed views of the natural surroundings. Interestingly, although not near many trees, Leo Qbarsdebo considers the design a "treehouse for adults." [Fast Co Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-outdoor-furniture) writes, "As such, there's a rope connected to the peak of the roof, so he and his kids can scale the facade. Even inside, though, climbing the home's central staircase is meant to feel like a treehouse."
