Lickable Lollipop House
Not truly candy but yummy all the same; this new Single Hauz designed by Poland based front architects comes on a stick.
It mainly reminds me of an interactive billboard or maybe a travel case without the handle.
Beat that pesky shark issue that comes with life on the water.
Here’s what I’m thinking. A home like this will leave a smaller footprint because technically how much of it honestly touches the planet. You could build high above the trees without cutting them down. This is my eco-theory of how the Single Hauz could be put to some nice green living use. I suppose a trek up that many stairs might be problematic but seriously you could sell your stair master and use the house as your main workout.
What do you think? A winner or not. I do like my theory but it seems a bit cool for my taste. Also, I’d never live above the water; even on the safest of sticks.
Big old hugs to: choc-o-licious Heather from Chocolate Bytes for pointing this out in the first place and to an old favorite, BLDGBLOG for having information in actual English about this home on their lovely blog.

There is no way I would live in a hamster cage. I will stick to recycling old victorians. :p

A hamster cage! I’d say this is a bit more refined than that miss Marye. But go with the Victorian; it suits you better :)

I agree with Jennifer’s comments this is better than the existing mass produceed trash. Don’t be so limited to new experiences and what peopole think!. The lollipop house lets you interact with the enironment appreciate the views. It has the wow factor. There is no way I want the usual 3 bedrooms bathroom 2 car garage………….

I agree Cam but if your comment was directed at Marye; believe me she is open to new everything — just not so much this :)
Thanks for visiting.
