Hanging Outdoor Lounging Pod

These Hanging Outdoor Lounging Pods from Dedon make any yard or open space inviting – and relaxing. I could really take a nice nap in one of those, gently swaying in the breeze…

Amazing Whistler Vacation Home

I love this house, especially the use of concrete and wood together. I don’t always see good examples of that. The view isn’t half bad, either.

Island Cave House

This cave house is located on a small island a few miles north of Sicily. I don’t think I could live here – I would slowly go crazy. But the view is amazing!

Wood Radius House

Wood Radius House

While the centerpiece of the Wood Radius House by Dwyer Design is clearly the steel and wood wheel spoke column central to the house, there are two smaller elements that I love. First of all is the bathroom shower/tub. Doesn’t that look awesome?

The other thing I love is this fireplace. I could just curl up on that big rug with a good book and a roaring fire and just be. LOVE IT!

Wow. Apparently you have to go to Belize for these, but that’d be totally worth it. Talk about a dream!

Small Portable Cabin

Build a small cabin on a trailer? Why not!

Small Portable Cabin

You can move your cabin when you want a new view or if you want to do some work on it… If nothing else, it’s an awesome idea while you’re building your permanent dream home!

Doubly Amazing Colorado Vacation Home

I was first drawn to this home for the tower – I love the thought of being 40′ up (give or take) and being able to survey my entire property. But then I couldn’t help but notice the large pavilion-like structure to the side, and I realized the awesomeness of this design.

Doubly Amazing Colorado Vacation Home

Architectural firm substance presented the home owners with both things they want/need in an outdoor, rugged environment. They get the wide open high ceilings and glass walls for the living and dining areas, while also having a more protected and private area for living quarters and such. I love it.

Cute Modern Prefab in Austin

I really like the looks of this modern little prefab in Austin, Texas. Built about 80% in the factory, then transported and put together on site, it has a nice, comfy feel to it.

Green Roof, Beautiful Patio, House Ocho

Though the most striking and most talked about feature of House Ocho in Carmel, California ia the growing green roof, I just love the patio. Check out that fireplace!

The roof is nice, don’t get me wrong. And I love the thought of photovoltaic skylights. But there’s something about that patio…

Cantilevered Cliff House

Cantilevered Cliff House

Built to handle the extreme weather and elements of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, this cantilevered cliff house is situated on Cortes Island in British Columbia, Canada.

Cantilevered Cliff House

I love the beauty of the house, but I also love how solid the house looks. It doesn’t look like it’d budge during a windstorm, tidal event, or major asteroid collision!
