Architecture Student Turns An Old Bus Into A Really Nice Mobile Home
We've all heard of celebrities who drive around in pimped out tour buses with amenities that even some homes don't have. Most of us regular people don't have the opportunity to travel in style like that when riding down the highway. There is one person who does though, and he's an architectural stud ...
3D Printed Clear Hermit Crab Shells Inspired By Famous Architecture
If you or your kids have ever owned a hermit crab, you know that they like to occasionally change shells. When I was a kid, I had a hermit crab that switched shells, but I never got to see what he looked like with no shell at all. I assume when they decide to change; it's a quick transition. You'd t ...
Incredibly Detailed Chicago Cityscape 3D Printed Using Google Maps
By now, pretty much most people who use the Internet should know about 3D printing.

8-Bit Space Invaders Inspired Micro House Design
Micro houses are all the rage these days, and I could see myself living in one of them easily.

There are things we can do to feel young, like blowing bubbles, sledding down a hill of snow, or riding a slide.

Feline Architecture: This Is Your Cat’s Dream Home
If you are like a lot of people on the Internet, you have a cat. Somehow cats make people look cool online, or at least people think they do. They are like the ultimate accessory in photos on every photo-sharing site. I know people who have gotten a cat just so they can take pictures and share them. ...
World’s Largest Kaleidoscope Is Covered In Swarovski Crystals
If you are a woman who loves jewelry, you are probably familiar with Swarovski crystals. They are some of the most beautiful crystals in the world, and I treasure my earrings that were created with them. What I did not know until today is that in Innsbruck, Austria there is a place called Swarovski ...
The Infinity Spiral Staircase That Goes Nowhere
I'm a huge fan of spiral staircases, and I've always said that my dream house would have an interior spiral staircase on each end, and another one outside leading up to the roof (for sunbathing). There is just something dreamy about a spiral staircase, and it almost feels like you're taking a ride w ...
The Most Inspiring Wine Cellar Design Ever
I am completely in awe when I look at this incredible wine cellar design. The blue LED lights, the shape, and the way it's incorporated into the rest of the house is truly spectacular. The world got a glimpse of this design when the house at 1224 Waterstone Boulevard in Franklin, Tennessee (near Nas ...

Stair Porn: A Collection Of Creative & Inspiring Staircases
There are so many inspiring things in the world around us that I think we sometimes take for granted, or at least I do.

The World’s First Vertical Forest: An Architectural Beauty
I'd like to introduce you to the world's first Bosco Verticale (Italian for Vertical Forest), which is being built right now in Milan. According to Christopher Woodward, a writer for the Financial Times, it's "the most exciting new tower in the world."
This vertical forest will span across two to ...
Wow! An Entire Tropical Island Built On A Yacht
Lately I've been coming across some of the wildest most creative architecture I've ever seen. It's so cool when architects and designers have a concept design in their head, and they are somehow able to get other people excited about it along with them before it even exists. That's the case with thi ...
Architecture: A Cozy House Created From Bookshelves
As we all know, now that we are experiencing the era of the iPad and Kindle, traditional books are becoming less and less popular. As a matter of fact, even some elementary schools are replacing books with iPads. I have a friend who just got her packet for attending University in the fall, and it ca ...
World’s Skinniest House: It’s Only 52 Inches Wide
I suppose the proper way to phrase this would be to write "world's narrowest house," but skinniest is just a fun word, and I hardly ever get to type it. We've written about tiny houses before, many times actually. With the population on earth growing exponentially each year, many designers and archi ...
