Beautiful ‘houseboat’ by Rost Niderehe Architects. The structure sits right on the Eilbekkanal in Hamburg, Germany.

In the words of the architects: ‘The original idea has been to design a houseboat that essentially has the character of a boat in combination with the comfort of a traditional family home.’. I’d say the final results are just what they envisioned. Hit the firm’s website here (hope your German’s good).

The unconventional UK brewery ‘BrewDog’ created this taxidermy packaging for their ‘The End of History’ beer, which holds an astonishing 55% ABV and costs just $765 a pop. More about their other wacky brews after the jump.

BrewDog started up in 2007 when 24-year-olds Martin and James decided that the market needed a brewery that was willing to experiment with beer in all aspects. Now their line up includes Tokyo (18.2%), ‘Sink the Bismark’ (41%), and ‘Tactical Nuclear Pengui’ (32%)., amongst others. Check out some more of their sweet packaging and campaigns below, and hit their site to order some for yourself.

Check out this bike, designed by Peter Dudas. Not sure how well it rides, but it sure has a slick body.

The handles could use a bit of refinement, but regardless, this would be a nice bike to sport around the city.
