Crazy House feat Irene’s konverted kiosk: This house only had a few wonky mirrors and turnstile barriers that moved top half left and bottom right,and the famous moving walkway just like the one in ‘Grease’,but there was a real fun atmosphere in there.
The House Of The Rising Sun: This is a house on the Drina River, near Bajina Basta, town in Western Serbia. Morning sun is giving light to it…

Isabella Pink House: A color wheel shows the principal hues divided into two major segments. The area made up of red, red-orange, orange and yellow-orange is said to consist of warm colors, while the area made up of yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, and blue-violet is said to consist of cool colors. The so-called primary colors (when mixing pigments for paint, for example;) are red, yellow, anil blue, and all other colors can be created by mixing these together; when all three are mixed in proper proportions the remit is a deep gray approaching black. When mixing light itself, however, the three primary colors are different (reddish-blue, or magenta, yellow, and bluish-green, or cyan), and a mix of these three produces white light; this is the principle of color television.

Posing as a Japanese lantern on stilts, the 4Treehouse by Lukasz Kos floats within the fir trees on Lake Muskoka, Ontario. Letting the existing trees set the parameters of the project, the tree house was constructed around the base of four existing trees, rather than stretching between them. The project was an exercise in minimising impact to the trees, site, and nature itself

The new Yellow Treehouse restaurant, designed by New Zealand-based Pacific Environments Architects, is perched high above a redwood forest. Looking like an enormous chrysalis grafted onto a 40m-high redwood tree, the project is constructed of plantation poplar slats, redwood balustrading milled at the site, and makes extensive use of natural lighting throughout


Nature with architecture is not an odd pairing by any means, but it’s never been done quite like this. With the natural landscape tree houses plans ideas, we can realize piece of architecture in the wood based on contemporary tree house canopy. The main living level of this contemporary tree house designs sits in the canopy, among lush green leaves with the dewy earth rolling out below. It’s one of those designs that are difficult to describe. According to the architect Robert Harvey Oshatz, “One has to actually stroll through the house to capture its complexities and its connection to the exterior with the use of a natural wood ceiling floating on curving laminated wood beams which pass through a generous glass wall which wraps around the main living room”. This typical of house is for the client who wanted a house that not only become a part of the natural landscape but also for a client who loves to flow music.

Fortress Serves World’s Most Expensive Dessert for $14,500


If you are blessed with sweet tongue to match your foodie spirit, then The Fortress Hotel in Galle, Sri Lanka would be your next sure-spot destination.

This Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence demands a bulky but justifiable sum of $14,500. Featuring a gold leaf Italian cassata relished with Irish cream and mango, the other ingredients of the dessert include Dom Perignon champagne, gold and silver leaf.

Following an age-old practice of the fishermen, the dessert is dished up with a concoction leaning against fishermen’s Valrhona chocolate sculpture carved out of an 80-carat aquamarine stone costing $14,000.

So, guys with a small bargain of $500, you can end up giving a feast to your eyes by grabbing empty sculpture but yes a total down payment of $14,500 can really make your day with a chocolate pudding overflowing out of this sculpture. The dessert eyes only the elite and exclusive clientele of the hotel.

Reuters states that the GM of the hotel has received two enquiries from Japan and the management is hopeful to ink one-or-two deals during this year. But the workers of Sri Lanka are not amazed with such an asset as BBC quotes a Colombo-based development worker saying Sri Lanka is still battling with the bents of life and death, making efforts to come out of the aftermath of 2004 tsunami. In such a difficult situation, this kind of promo won’t help.
