Stephane Malka's Urban Dwelling Made From Recycled Doors And Windows Is Known As Parasitic Architecture...

The Paris based architect, graffiti artist and conceptual designer Stephane Malka does more than just think outside the square.
He attaches his out of left bank field add-ons known as Parasitic Architecture to the bare walls of existing buildings and structures.
He created this 'Bow House' in a public plaza
in Netherland's city of Heerlen in
the Province of Limburg.
If you're in the area, go and have a look.
But be careful. It might grow on you...

This Australian House Concept Is A Real Cliffhanger...

The Australian prefab architcture specialist Modscape Concepts, have always had the ability to think outside the square, out of left field and now they've gone over the edge with this exciting, is that the word I wonder,
terrifying is more like it, five storied house that literally clings to a cliff face.
Hopefully like the proverbial to a blanket.
Rather than disrupt the natural skyline,
the concept positions Cliff House as it's called, what a great name, precariously over the edge and just above the abyss.
The prefabricated modules are arranged in a vertical floor plan, the rooms stacked atop each other and held securely in place with engineered steel pins. One would enter, I wouldn't, at the floor level with the cliff top, which includes an outdoor patio adjacent to their parking space.
An elevator or stairs connects each floor, with the bedroom, living area and kitchen, each having their own space on the various floors. The interior would be seen as minimalist.
The home opens up on the lowest level to another outdoor space, which seems to float above the water.
I can just imagine fishing from there...
