Here’s a house with gardens on all
three levels designed by Singaporean studio Guz Architects on Santosa
Island, Singapore. The Sky Garden House includes a large stone-lined
swimming pool that can be viewed from inside the building at basement
level through a large glazed window. A staircase with a glass balustrade
and wooden steps snakes across the stairwell. The curved roof at the
top is also covered in grass and affords views of the bay beyond.
Photographs are by Patrick Bingham Hall. The information below is from
the architects: sky garden house this house is located on a new
housing estate on the island of Sentosa adjacent to singapore. The plots
are not large and neighboring buildings are built close to the sides of
each house. Thus our strategy was to build a solid wall to each side
neighbor to provide privacy where possible, while creating a central
light and stair well which would funnel the sea breeze through the
center of the building. The front and rear of the building meanwhile,
terrace back allowing each storey to have visual or actual access to
greenery. The intention was to try to allow each roof garden provided a
base for the storey above allowing the layered effect to make each
storey feel like it was a single storey dwelling sitting in a garden.as
much as we could do in the close confines of Sentosa island and with
such a large building! l ocation Sentosa Island, Singapore area 852 sq.

Strange Buildings
1) Dancing House
Here’s a building that should really get your attention when walking
pass it. The Dancing House is considered as one of the more real
controversial buildings in Prague. The Dancing House was actually
designed by a great architect from California, which only proves that he
had done some type of hallucinogen while designing it.
2) Robot Building
The Bank of Asia is a very famous building in Bangkok. It was made
way back in 1985, and it’s robotic appearance is just a symbol of the
modernization of banking. It also has the ability to transform into a
mega-robot.
3) Ripley’s Building
If you saw this picture for the first time, you’d probably thought
that it was hit by a massive earthquake. But it wasn’t. In true fashion
of the Ripley Legacy, it was built to reflect the odd 1812 earthquake
that measured 8.0 on the rick. The building has now become one of the
most photographed in the world because of it.
4) The Wilson Hall
This somewhat modernize building was actually built between 1971 and
1974. It’s unique design gives the Wilson Hall a great sense of
structure, and a prominent landmark for the skyline. The building
provides big laboratories, offices, and supports space for over 1500
scientists.
6) Hotel Sofitel
This hotel’s unique design was directly inspired by the traditional
temples in Japan. The Tokyo Sofitel has over 72 rooms, and 11 suites
with 3 non-smoking floors. And 5 meeting rooms that includes high-tech
boardrooms.
7) Upside Downer
Take a journey into the unknown with a building called Wonder Works.
It’s central Florida’s only upside down attraction. And an amusement
park for your mind, and your stoner friends. This odd building has over
100 wacky interactive exhibits for your entire family to experience.
Crooked House
You know that your looking at a real building right? The Crooked
House was built in 2004 as an addition at a popular shopping center, and
is a major tourist attraction in Sopot, Poland.
