One of his latest creations, Hill House, is an urban family home in Melbourne that appears as if it is riding a wave of grass. The family home extension has been built upon the footprint of what once had been the back yard, without obstructing or losing the original building. Seemingly perched above a rolling hill, the new building faces the sun and the box-shaped structure above acts as a passive solar eave, cutting out summer sun, while letting the winter sun flood in. <a href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/australian-hill-house-grass-wave/22454/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/free-floating-catamaran-suite/22451/">Free-floating catamaran suite provides a unique escape in nature</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/author/bridget-borgobello/">Bridget Borgobello</a></p> <p><em>11:56 May 8, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510163418im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/free-floating-catamaran-suite/22451/pictures">16 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/free-floating-catamaran-suite/22451/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510163418im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/floatinghouse.jpg" title="This tiny cabin is a free-floating catamaran suite designed by Dutch architect, Marijn Bei..." alt="This tiny cabin is a free-floating catamaran suite designed by Dutch architect, Marijn Bei..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> This tiny cabin is a free-floating catamaran suite designed by Dutch architect, Marijn Beije.

And then there's realities:united's scheme for the world's longest swimming pool, called <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/worlds-longest-swimming-pool-holcim-gold-award/20284/" target="_blank">Flussbad</a>, in the River Spree in Berlin. But now the 120-meter (394-feet) long Badboot Lido has seemingly leapfrogged the competition, opening for business this August in Antwerp, Belgium. Because the Badboot is adapted from a 1960s ferry, it can be moved around the city as needed. <a href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/badboot-floating-swimming-pool/22435/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/redwoods-treehouse-treetop-dining/22436/">Redwoods Treehouse offers a unique treetop dining experience</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/author/bridget-borgobello/">Bridget Borgobello</a></p> <p><em>07:18 May 7, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510163418im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/redwoods-treehouse-treetop-dining/22436/#comments">2 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510163418im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/redwoods-treehouse-treetop-dining/22436/pictures">17 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120510163418/http://www.gizmag.com/redwoods-treehouse-treetop-dining/22436/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510163418im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/redwoodstreehouse.jpg" title="The Redwoods Treehouse in New Zealand offers a unique tree-top location for dinner parties..." alt="The Redwoods Treehouse in New Zealand offers a unique tree-top location for dinner parties..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> Auckland based firm Pacific Environment Architects is the creator of this impressive treehouse located near Warkworth in New Zealand.
