Meta-Housing: Super-Sized Hotel Made of Stacked-Up Homes
This new hotel in the Netherlands has sparked a great deal of conversation by using the traditional form of regional homes and cottages in a surrealistic stack (some even seeming to sit sideways or upside-down) as part of a relatively huge city-central structure.
The Inntel Hotel, designed by Molenaar & Van Winden Architecten + WAM Architecten features 160 rooms and sits 11 stories high, towering over much of its surroundings and sticking out for miles around – for better or worse – from its urban landscape. From their overall forms down to the white and green facades, wood-carved decor and window treatments, the component ‘houses’ in the design were patterned after actual conventional structures in the area.

GAP Upside Down Store
"Shopping turned on its head" isn't just a meaningless tagline for GAP. They literally mean it. To promote their new loyalty program, Sprize, the GAP in Vancouver, BC turned its entire store upside-down. All of the mannequins, displays and even the sign were flipped, as well as some cars and a hotdog stand outside of the store.

LEGO House by James May in the UK
James May is a toy fanatic from the UK and he's building his own real LEGO house.
It’s taken him millions of LEGO pieces so far and probably millions more to go. When I say a "real" house, I mean a REAL house with a working toilet and all!!!

UPDATE: Workmen started breaking down the structure which consisted of 3.3 million Lego bricks after no-one showed any interest in taking on the building.
Plans for Legoland to move it to their theme park fell through because transport costs were too high and despite a final Facebook appeal for someone to take it, no-one came forward.
The plastic bricks are to be donated to charity once the house on the Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey, has been demolished.
A spokesman for the estate said that the house had to be dismantled - because it did not have planning permission.

Thank you Brian!
