No, we aren't talking about Heaven but it's definitely Heavenly. This playhouse designed by Dietrich Wegner has a wooden body with a fluffy exterior meant to look like a cloud.

Terrifying Tea House
Posted on Thursday, March 12, 2009
The Takasugi-an teahouse not only caught my eye because of it's uniqueness, but also because of it's downright scariness. This quaint tea house, built by Japanese architect Terunobu Fujimori, is not only extremely compact but it is also perched on replanted chestnut trees that have been cut from a local mountain. The only way to get in is by using free-standing ladders, which further add to its unstableness. The Tea house has an amazing view from the inside and when looking at it from the outside it almost appears to float in air as the thin trees that hold the house blend into the wooded background.Although cool, things like this remind me why I drink coffee.
In Bill Gates house technology tour
Behind the gates of Bill Gates home
Posted on Tuesday, March 10, 2009
Ever wonder what it's like inside the house of the once richest man in the world? The architects of Bill Gates have created a virtual tour that details the technology awesomeness that is laid throughout his Medina, Washington house.
Ever wonder what it'd be like to be Bruce Wayne and to live like one with your bat compadres? The closest you might come is by living in a huge home...in a cave. If you are looking in the Festus, Missouri area then this house should be perfect.
In 2003 a family found this cave ON Ebay and in a matter of 4 years built a cozy home in the cavern hole. The house is a whooping 15,000 sq/ft consisting of three chambers which containing the three bedrooms, a large kitchen, laundry room, party room, an indoor pond, a performance stage which has seen the likes of Tina Turner to Ted Nugent. The house maintains energy efficiency by staying cool naturally because of it's location but also by incorporating geothermal panels to the plan.
Considering that two bedroom condos can sell on average of $250,000, this house is practically a steal costing a cool $300,000!

City dwellers might think they have tight homes living in a space that is only a few hundred square feet. What about living in a home that is less than one hundred? A woman named Dee Williams lives in Seattle, Washington in a house that is a mere 84 square feet! The house has a functioning, yet small kitchen and a lavatory and is powered by two solar panels.
