Synthetic Grass Covered House
Grass Covered House?!
3:33 AM
It may be synthetic grass but this house is covered in it! The entire exterior of this Austrian house (designed by Reinhold Weichlbauer and Albert Josef Ortis) reminds me of something out of Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Seuss!! Staircases set where they are there only for looks, not function, extending out into open space. Windows on top of other windows but turned sideways. Pretty awesome looking though!

Das Park Hotel!
4:15 AM
Have you ever seen those huge, concrete drain pipes and thought "Hey, those would make great hotel rooms!"? No? Well, Andreas Strauss did and he created a "hotel" with them. There are 2 Das Hotel locations; one in Austria and one in Germany. The rooms are incredibly minimal with just a bed, lamp and a skylight. The hotel is also unique in that the cost of a room is "what you want to pay". A different idea indeed.
