From now on you’ll be able to announce that the sands of time are running out without sounding too dramatic. And that is thanks to Mexican architecture company Álvaro Ramírez + Arquitectos. The people behind the idea of this creation might be fans of board games, Alias, in particular, since the idea of his design is based on an hourglass. Despite how closer-to-nature it looks and all the meditational vibes it creates, the final result was questioned by observant internet users. Check it out, would you want to have something like it in your place?

Too bad this can not work on an outside wall in a cold climate. I love the idea.

So, when you flip the window, all the bird poop that was outside will be on the inside....... great.

Yeah, so NOW you can finally clean it without risking breaking your neck on a ladder. I see it as a positive.
