Boeing 727 Airplane Converted into Hotel Room
This 727 Fuselage Home is part of Hotel Costa Verde in Costa Rica. In its previous life, the vintage 1965 Boeing 727 airframe shuttled globetrotters on South Africa Air and Avianca Airlines (Colombia). The hotel salvaged this airplane, piece by piece, from its San Jose airport resting place and carefully transported the pieces to the jungles of Manuel Antonio where they have been resurrected into a unique jumbo hotel suite.
Forest Office Cube
Peter Daniel Frazier works from home above Chuckanut Bay in Bellingham, Washington. His forest office cube is perfect for those who feel an overwhelming sense of calm when they’re in nature. One glance at his surroundings must take his stress level down a few notches…
“I designed my office to be as unobtrusive as possible, to be an uncluttered work space, a guest house that keeps ‘em coming back, and an inspired meditation room,” says Frazier. “It has a green roof so when we see the structure from the house it fits into the forest.”

Painting at 99, With No Compromises
“Mortality is on his mind. “Let me tell you a story,” he said, digging into a saucer of frozen Georgia pecans (his other favorite snack is 72 percent dark chocolate, which he discovered 50 years ago, way ahead of the curve). “My grandfather was 96 years old, and one foggy night in Beverly, Mass., he went walking and was hit and injured by a drunken driver.
“He was lying in bed dying of a fractured skull, and my father took me at the age of 6 to say goodbye to him. And I’ll never forget what he said: ‘Do you think it’s easy to die at the age of 96?’ ”
Is anyone ever really ready to die?
Now this is modern art I can appreciate.
