Gravity Defying Houses
Daring Architecture
It's really hard for me to believe that the second house from the top clockwise is not a Photoshop product. The house, which is located in the Ukraine, is being supported by a single cantilever. That is it. The first house meanwhile, is located in Russia according to likecool.com, and it belonged to a gangster who could not see his home finished before he was thrown in the slammer. Reportedly, that is world's tallest wooden house, standing 144 feet (thirteen floors) into thin air.
