The very thought of a balcony makes me think of a place jutting out from a building several floors up. But in Japan, architect Yukiharu Suzuki has designed the Sukiya House, a very modern looking home with a unique underground tunnel that also serves as a balcony.
What We Do Is Secret has a bunch of more photos of this beautiful place. If I ever get to live on a mountainside, I’d want to incorporate this into my home design.

Arch Daily posted this great house designed by architect António Sérgio Koch in Oporto, Portugal which I am just falling in love with. It’s got huge windows and big open spaces throughout the entire complex. Definitely something that I feel would age well over time and not look too out-dated in just a few years (although I could be wrong…but for now, a very beautiful house).
Photographs by Fernando Guerra & Sergio Guerra.

This photo taken by John Bazemore for the Associated Press shows a house nearly consumed by flood waters in Mableton, Georgia on Tuesday (September 22, 2009). As posted earlier, parts of Georgia have experienced tremendous rainfall which has caused massive flooding and several deaths.
You can see more photos of the flooding at The Washington Post.

According to Indicommons, today (July 7, 2009) is the 101st anniversary of the invention of sliced bread! The first company to produce a commercial sliced bread product was the Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri back on July 7, 1928.
So happy 101st anniversary sliced bread! You’ve been good to me!

If birds lived lives like humans, this is how I imagine it would play out. This commercial was made by Rattling Stick.
