Scary & Spectacular: World’s Highest Tennis Court
We are no strangers to creative architecture on Bit Rebels. There is really nothing more inspiring that seeing a designer build something unusual and unexpected in a public space, and we've written about it too many times to count. My favorite ones so far are this insane playground, this humongous o ...
Creative Architecture: The Scariest Playground Ever Built
I remember back when Richard wrote about this rooftop pool because the way it was built made it look like you could swim right over the edge and plummet to your death. Putting that pool on top of a skyscraper right in the middle of the city made for a fantastic view, and I wouldn't mind taking a swi ...
Nighttime In The City: Breath Taking Aerial Photographs
When I think of aerial photography, the only name that really comes to my mind is Cameron Davidson. When you see the examples of his photography below, you'll immediately understand why his client roster reads like a media who's who list.
These are especially some of my favorite shots because the ...
Architecture Slide: Another Reason To Stay Young Forever
Around a couple years ago, we started seeing posts and articles on pretty much every blog and website about multinational companies and their offices springing up like wildflowers. We got grand tours in either images or video on Google, Digg, Facebook and even Twitter. It's insanely inspirational ...
Design Inspiration: The Official Eiffel Tower Blueprints
For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I've never been to Paris, and if I ever get the opportunity to go, visiting the Eiffel Tower will be at the top of my list.
The Eiffel Tower used to be considered such a classy, sophisticated monumen ...
Creative Sculptures Made Out Of Human Beings
We are very inspired by creative artistry, and we've featured a lot of different types of sculptures on Bit Rebels. However, I think this could be the first time we've ever written about sculptures made out of... well... human beings.
The closest I've seen to this is this typography installation ...
Portable Cities: Architecture Created From Old Clothes
Chinese artist Yin Xiuzhen loves to travel. She especially loves to check out the architecture in the cities she visits. While she is there, she collects second hand clothes that have been discarded by the residents in that city.
Then, to symbolically recreate traveling to that city, she meticu ...
The Soda Pop Swimming Pool: Would You Swim In It?
I love Diet Dr. Pepper. I drink three or four of them each day. I don't drink any other kind of soda pop. The question is, do I love it enough to submerge my entire body into it? Do I love it enough to swim in it?
It's true; to go swimming in a pool of your favorite soda would mean lots of st ...
A Fred Flintstone Inspired House: Architecture Inspiration
When I was growing up (in the days before the DVR), I remember The Flintstones would come on everyday at 4pm. I would run to the television to watch it since it was always one of my favorite cartoons.
I got a big smile on my face when I saw these pictures below. This stone house in Portugal is ...
Artist Doodles – Permanent Marker Used to Create Installation
Installation artists never cease to amaze me. They create larger than life works of art. I am a lover of art, and I appreciate everything that is created out of one's imagination. You can see a person's inner thoughts and feelings through their masterpiece. I found a cool installation art (vinyl ...
Check The Weather Forecast While Enjoying 72,000 LEDs!
One of my favorite things about living in Atlanta is that at night you can see all the bright lights of the city illuminating the sky like a Christmas tree. Many times the lights are designed in a way to create a pattern or flashing picture to entertain (or distract) all of us driving down the high ...
Could You Live In This Space? – Architectural Inspiration
Yesterday I wrote an article about a woman that has downsized her life to the point that she is living in a house that is only 84 square feet. That was pretty crazy, in a cool kinda way, but now I have something else even more bizarrely cool to share with you.
This story originally came out in 2 ...
Downsizing Life – The House The Size Of A Parking Space
We've seen a lot of wild and crazy houses, haven't we? After all, there is that woman who is building a house made from an old airplane, there is my dream house, which is insanely cool, and now... I introduce to you... the house that is as big as a parking space. Well, it's not quite that big. It ...
The First House Made Entirely From An Old Airplane!
I've heard of using recycled materials to build a house before. Recently we even featured an article about a hotel made from garbage found on the beach; however, I've never heard of a house being built from a Boeing 747!
Francie Rehwald, who lives on 55 acres in Malibu Hills, California recently ...
The Truth About The Redneck Mansion Comes Out [Pics]
These pictures are so interesting, but the story behind them is even more intriguing. Apparently these have been circulating the Internet for a couple years. I believe, but cannot confirm, that they even went viral under the phrase "redneck mansion."
Most people have always thought that these w ...
