Building Design Based on Apple's iPod

Friday, December 22nd, 2006 at 10:55 AM - by

Dubai-based real estate developer Omniyat Properties has a 23-story case of iPod envy, and has the building plans to prove it. The company, according to Gulfnews, plans to open a 23 story, 200 unit building in 2009 that looks like a giant iPod.

The building will sit at a six degree angle atop an iPod dock-like structure to help complete the illusion of a giant iPod. It was designed by the Hong Kong-based James Law Cybertecture International architectural firm.

What will the associated sewage treatment plant look like, a Zune

Youse guys ever see that building that looks like bulldozer? It along Hwy 99 just south of Modesto CA, I think it is a Caterpillar dealership. Just east of Lancaster PA is house shaped like a shoe.

Racine, WI is home to S.C. Johnson and Sons, and their headquarters is shaped like, yes, a giant

baby-powder bottle. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
