No need to rub your eyes, clean your screen, or cry photoshop. This awesomely warped building is completely real. Known as Krzywy Domek, translated from Polish as “Crooked House”, is a shopping center in Sopot, Poland that curves and slants like something from a cartoon. Were it part of a cartoon there would no doubt be some suitably merry music playing as the building happily swayed.

“Designed by Szotyńscy & Zaleski, the multipurpose building boasts a unique look that was inspired by the fairy tale illustrations of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg.”

If we had to pick any new building for our offices, this one would be a serious contender.

HOLY CRAY THIS IS AWESOME

“The Minister’s Treehouse in Crossville, Tennessee is a 100ft structure built by minister Horace Burgess from the early 1990s through 2004. The entire building wraps around a giant tree and was built completely without blueprints, sprawling to an estimated 10,000 square feet inside, including a four-story swing set. Photographer Kristin Sweeting took a recent trip to the treehouse and took many of the photos above.”

I never have wanted to live anywhere more than I want to live in this house.
