Balcony at Sears Tower

The balconies of the Sears Tower in Chicago - not for people who have vertigo!

The owners of the Sears Tower , the tallest skyscraper in the United States ( Chicago ), inaugurated last week four glass box viewing platforms. These balconies are suspended 1,353 feet (412 meters) in the air on the 103rd floor. They are 10ft high and 10ft wide and can hold 5 tons with their 1.5 inch thick glasses.
Really impressive and definitively something to try...

Amazing House Inside a Hill

This amazing and unordinary underground house was designed by Dutch architecture firms SeARCH and Christian Müller Architects and it is situated somewhere in mountains of Switzerland.
The house is embedded in the side of a hill and can be seen through a big elliptical opening. Interior looks rather minimalistic, but interesting nevertheless.
