250 Year Old Tower In Croatia Was Turned Into A Cozy House (25 pics)

Posted in       10 Mar 2016       6936

This building is a former windmill built by Franciscan monks in 1761. The tower sits on a hill overlooking the harbor of the island of Hvar situated in the Adriatic Sea. But it has been neglected for a long time and started to fall apart until a new owner acquired it and turned it into a cozy little house which can be rented on Airbnb.

A Strange House (15 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       6 Apr 2010       11283

This rather unusual house looks very much like a water tower. In fact, it may have been one at one time. While it is very elegant on the inside, its round shape contrasts sharply with the square corners of some of the stairs and the kitchen. It is a very strange house indeed.

Burj Khalifa, formerly known as Burj Dubai, is a skyscraper in Dubai, UAE, and the tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m (2,717 ft).
I’m sure all of you have seen some pics during the past years as the construction began on September 2004, but the famous tallest building in the world officially opened on 4 January 2010, and so, there’re new things to see..

We will see a bit of everything in this post, from the building itself to the opening ceremony that occurred recently. We’ll also take a look on photos of the construction, photos taken from different heights of the building, photos of the fountains and we won’t miss the world record of base jumping that has been established few days ago.
And don’t forget to watch the videos at the end of the post..

The tower, built in 1704, is on sale in London for ₤ 4.5 million.
Of course, the works were done there to make it comfortable and now it is fully habitable.
Its size can be compared with a 10-storey building, but there are only two floors. The accommodation comprises three bedrooms, lounge and kitchen.
