This Sagging House Is Seriously Impressive

Looks like someone had a bad day, and that someone is a building in Cliftonville, England. Ok, so buildings can't really have a bad day, but after eleven years of abandonment, this structure wasn't doing very well and the renovation by artist Alex Chinneck didn't make it much better. But that's what's so great about it. It looks like the building's facade is actually sliding off the front of the building. Next year the building will be converted into council housing, but in the meanwhile, this art installation is a fun attraction.

You can check out all kinds of great photos of the building at Homes and Hues: This House Is In A Real Slump -And We Love It

Birdhouses Based on Airbnb Listings

Airbnb provides travels a great and local place to stay at a reasonable price while providing home owners with a good source of income and a way to meet new people. While most of the homes on the site are just your every day houses, there are some truly impressive ones as well. 

That's why it was so brilliant for the company to commission five different artists to create birdhouse versions of fifty of the site's best property listings.

While the Birdbnb site is down now due to a legal dispute with one of their competitors, you can still check out quite a few of them over on Homes and Hues: Birdhouses That Look Like Airbnb Listings

The Ultimate Full Size Cat Home

Personally, I would never spend $35,000 on a home rennovation to make a house better for my kitties, but hey, I would never own 18 cats either. If you're going to do those two things though, you couldn't hope for a better design than this amazing home in Goleta, CA  that was remodeled by Trillium Enterprises

The remodel might be a little crazy, but there's no denying that there are some seriously happy kitties living in this place.

Cover Your Walls In Dragon Scales

Over on Homes and Hues, we feature a lot of cool home designs, but so far, the site has been sadly absent of decor that can make your interior resemble a dragon's scales. Today we have remedied that with the introduction of the Ginkgo Acoustic Panels, a modular wall accessory that not only improves the acoustics in your room, but also spruces up the walls. The designs are cool and can be arranged in all number of patterns, but Game of Thrones, Hobbit and other fantasy fans will join me by expressing their excitement over the green and yellow panels being assembled in a design that makes your wall look like the side of a dragon.

The Bridge House Makes All The Right Connections

The point of a vacation home is to help people get away from it all while getting to spend time with their friends and family members. While most vacation homes do a fine job of this, the houses themselves are just regular old residences reserved for the family's trips. The family who hired Gluck + to design their Bridge House wanted something different though -something that would reinforce the house's role is building relationships.

The end result does exactly this by seamlessly blending styles and connecting spaces and structures to one another. Read how the materials and design reflect the building's purpose in building connections and see more great pictures at Homes and Hues: The Bridge Home Bridges the Gap Between Modern Design and Rustic Charm
