Unusual Suspended Guest Houses in Russia

Situated not far away from Moscow (in Moskovskaya Oblast), Russia, this unusual guest houses were raised on a previously closed settlement called Resort Pirogovo.  The buildings are suspended and their location on the top of the hill makes for some beautiful views. Wood was the main material used in creating this project and the red finishes gives it a bold feel. Totan Kuzembaev , the master mind behind this project explains his design:  “A man always wants to climb higher; after he has climbed, he wants to sit there; and when he has sat down, he would like to have a roof over his head.” So what do you think? In case you’re ever around Moscow and in dire need of a place to crash for the night, would you go for these types of guest homes?-via Trendir
