Partially underwater villas that let you literally sleep with the fishes. The world's first freeform 3D-printed house. A Melbourne apartment building that changes with the weather (and one that looks suspiciously like a pair of pants). A contemporary cocktail bar jutting perilously over a Mexican cliff. The Concrete Playground office couldn't stop raving about these grand, blue sky-thinking architectural feats this year, so we thought we'd put them all in one place and send it off to Santa as a big, big 2017 hint.
