No other tennis court in the world has quite the view as the one at the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. Located more than 650 ft (200 m) above ground, the hotel’s grass helipad was converted into a 4500 sq ft (415 sq m) tennis court to promote the Dubai Open back in ’05.

This luxurious and contemporary camping shelter can be raised on any flat surface in moments, thanks to a silent pump that fills the crystal bubble to its peak. With a clear plastic shell, this bubble provides unparalleled, 360-degree views of the wild world around you while sheltering you from the elements. It’s available in a few models, some of which include privacy walls and clear roofs, starting at $10,000.

The Metropol Parasol is the worlds largest building held together primarily by glue. A new industrial formula, this isn’t Elmers. The Metropol Parasol can be thought of as a community center containing a archaeological museum, food court, farmers market and and a arcade.

Dutch Art Collective Obsevatorium has demonstrated astounding levels of creativity and foresight in the realm of architecture. The group designed and built a 125-foot-long bridge in anticipation for the day that the Emscher River floods. In the meantime the bridge doubles as a small village. The bridge town includes various sleeping chambers, eating areas and bathrooms. An elegant solution to that also pushes people to watch nature. View more about this project here.

Japanese studio Jun Igarishi Architects created an incredible dwelling located in Hokkaido, Japan. House O is a single story residence made up of rooms that resemble building blocks… for adults. The minimalist approach, black exterior, and lack of windows make the space look like a top secret building in the middle of the countryside!

Last week, I was excited to discover the Home Alone House ($2.4 million) recently went up for sale, offering old-school luxury and instant McCallister bragging rights to the owners. Built in the 1920s and located at 671 Lincoln Street in Winnetka, IL — roughly 30 miles north of downtown Chicago — this stately home features four bedrooms, a designer kitchen, dual patios, an outdoor greenhouse, a full, unfinished basement, and, yes, even the scary third floor.

Rocco Design Architects have completed a fascinating new work of architecture in China’s Guangzhou province, the Guangdong Museum of Art. The rectangular structure of the museum appears almost alien in nature, with a sliced and cut facade featuring random indentation accents, reminds me of the cube from Transformers
