American architect Bryan Berg created this magnificent house of cards using 4,051 decks of cards!  the structure stands without the use of glue or tape and entered Bryan in the Guiness Book of World Records!

the classic elegance of this Berkley residence is stunning… such a refined feel for modern construction. see more at Archetecture Style or visit the architect’s website, Debbas Architecture, and look for the Berkley Residence 2.

this sweet home was given to Bjork by the government of Iceland as a ‘thank you’ for putting their country on the map.  check out a different view, encompassing more of the island.  nice!

i definitely want to go here! dubbed by Banksy as “London’s newest, darkest and dirtiest purpose built cinema.” see the entire advertisement on Banksy’s site.

and while i’m daydreaming today… here’s a lovely depiction of an island concept dubbed Phoenix Island. the concept plans to be located in Sanya, a town within the Chinese province.  they hope to finish by 2014!

you may remember Ben Benschneider’s photo of Chicken Point Cabin, but now you can explore the rest of the residence!  visit architectual firm Olson Kundig’s site for more!

hmm… i like We Heart’s description:

Launched in 1997 by musician, artist, trendsetter and tea connoisseur, Ms. Zhang Jin Jie (aka JinR), Green T. House began life as a simple tea house, 3 tables that would serve as a cultural hub for fellow artists and musicians… Within 5 years, JinR had turned her hand to haute cuisine, revolutionised Beijing’s restaurant scene, been described by Time Magazine as “China’s first celebrity chef” and in the process had developed a unique cultural brand in Green T. House.

an impressive concept devised by Vincent Callebaut Architecture and aimed at providing a sustainable safehaven for climate refugees.  the firm has done their research – noting that the warming climate will melt the ice caps, however the glaciers on land are the bodies of water to be concerned about as the melting ice caps will not raise the overall water level, but the glaceries that melt into the oceans will…

drum roll please… in all the excessive glamor we have come to expect from the United Arab Emirates, i present to you the artistic rendition of the proposed Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Crossing in Dubai.

sometimes i have crazy synchronis moments… for instance, on the bus this morning i saw a woman wearing a Carmel, California t-shirt and i thought, “hmm… Carmel, California.  i wonder if it is as tasty as it sounds?”. having never visited the place or known anyone who has stories from there, i have to think this is the first time the location has registered in my brain… and then i get to work, jump on my computer and find this sweet pad… located in the Otter Cove area of the delicious Carmel, California!  beautiful interior and exterior – spansive views of the ocean… ahh – what i wouldn’t give to be there now!
