Hanging Hillside Homes

The Balancing Barn is an Amazing Cliff Hanger Abode (UPDATE)

The Balancing Barn from MVRDV and Mole Architects has made its debut in Suffolk, England. We first reported on the Balancing Barn back when it was just a concept. Now it has become a reality, and that reality is incredible.

Have you ever seen a house that looks like this? More than half of the Balancing Barn is suspended in mid-air! The Balancing Barn will be available for renting starting October 22nd. If you don't plan to make it to England anytime soon you can always check out the gallery to see more shots of this amazing airborne abode.
