I’ve been trying to spend more and more time looking at things that are in the unattainable category simply because its so damn fun to imagine me and all my friends and family enjoying whatever the incredibly expensive item is, and basking in the glory of its opulence. Quite frankly, nothing has piqued my imagination as much as this boat. This boat makes me want to use curse words, it’s so spectacular.

This is the Wally Power 118 super yacht. The boat at first looks as if it’s a high speed cigarette boat used for racing, and in a sense it is a racing boat at it’s core. But don’t let the shape fool you. Inside the boat are three modern staterooms. Above the state rooms sits a glass encased living space that includes gourmet dining facilities and one of the sexiest living spaces on a boat ever. If that’s not enough, the bow of the ship also contains an al fresco dining area sunken into the bow of the ship that makes me dream of the parties I could throw on the French Riviera.

Description: This building is under construction in Beijing, and marks the centerpiece of what hopes to be a 300 tower central business district in Beijing. Rather than go into details, I’ll distill why this design is so important: It marks one of the first buildings that aim to defy gravity without overtly proclaiming it. In effect, it’s one of the first buildings that is a physical manifestation of a video game building (which can obviously be any shape it wants because it doesn’t have to follow laws of gravity).
