The Modern House




Imagine renting a house like one of these for just a week. The house on top is located in the heart of London, with a beautiful penthouse view. Or the house just below, located in Southwestern France with a fantastic view of 3,700 feet. It can be rented to you for ONLY 3 million euros. Imagine that!

Beautiful Steps




Check out the guy walking outside the house. Beautiful Steps by Lang Bauman. It looks dangerous while you are walking on it. Beautiful steps features a stairway that leads out a window and around the building into another window. In each piece the stairs are geometric in design with a simple white finish. Their iconic design and unusual placement makes each piece feel completely surreal.

Peugeot EX1


If the BMW 6 Series Concept was basically an early look at an upcoming production model, the Peugeot EX1 ($TBA) is the polar opposite: a wild creation that lets the car's designers stretch their imaginations with out worrying about pesky topics like actual production cost or real-world feasibility. Still, the EX1 is every bit as intriguing, with its open-cockpit mix of car and motorcycle, it's world-class acceleration, dual electric motors cranking out the equivalent of 340 hp, and its all-time four wheel drive. Just don't expect it in dealerships any time soon.
