Yellow Brick House
The Yellow Brick House is located in Pavilniai Regional Park in Lithuania.
G. Natkevicius& Partners-an architectural firm-built this home in the historical park with rare stone formations dating back to the Ice Age and a nearby 17th century munitions factory.
On this particular plot of land stood a yellow brick building that turned out to be a part of a cannon foundry. Because this building was a part of history, and not large enough to house the four-member family that owned i...

Minimalist Boathouse Residence
Located near Munich, Germany this minimalist home was designed by its resident, Susanne Nobis.
Nobis went for a more modern take of the traditional twin boat house, common by the lake where the home is located. Her aim was to get as much natural light in as possible and to avoid tampering with the natural setting surrounding the home.
One of the connected houses has living, dining, and cooking areas on the bottom floor with a gallery above while the other has two offices, a guest ro...

However, this traditional Victorian facade masks the minimalist dwelling with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchen.
The bedrooms are on the ground floor, and the living areas on the top floor in order to allow natural light to flood into south-facing skylights and strategically placed windows.

Banks could soon be barred from pursuing deficiency judgments against Washington state borrowers after a short sale.
A Senate committee in the Washington State Legislature will hold a hearing over H.B. 2718, which states that if a bank "writes off debt from the short sale, they can't then subsequently collect this debt from the seller. The bill was modeled after similar action passed in Oregon last summer.
The bill if passed, does not require the lender to accept a short sale offer. It wo...
