I am so smitten with this Santa Monica house, it’s crazy. I mean just look at the 750 sq ft pool!! and it’s 9’ deep! The pool in the center ends up anchoring the main house, guest house and office. And with the pool so prominent, it almost feels like a little lake with a dock. Let’s just go ahead and add this to my list of dream houses.
I really do fancy how it looks like the house is on a lake.

by blowing CO2 into silica they could make a structure that is as hard as a brick, in the shape of a brick, in under one minute. To make it stronger than brick (which is very brittle) they then added organic material (like an epoxy or urethane), and found that it had at least 2.5 times the tensile strength.

The world’s highest tennis court stands atop the fourth highest hotel in the world - Burj al-Arab at Dubai. The tennis court is circular in shape and when no session is at play, it doubles as a helipad. The exact height of the tennis court is not known, but the hotel is 321 m (1,053 feet) tall and the court is located very near the top.
That would be fantastic to play on. But, what if you’re down the bottom hit by one of those out balls?

Resort Spa Treehouse, Bali (via davidberes)
Hrm, can you really call it interior design when the treehouse is so open? What do they do during the rainy season?
Whatever, it’s awesome and would make a great weekend retreat (when it’s not raining).
