Last week I posted the Hummingbird of Mummy Mountain which got me thinking about desert structures, which in turn got me thinking about the iT House by Taalman Koch Architecture. The model everyone adores is not exactly in the SW desert, but it is in a desert setting; near Joshua Tree in California.
This lovely prefab [...]
How’s that for a title!
It’s been a while since we had some yummy structural link love. Since my bookmarks are way too full, now seems like a good time to drop some…
house of the week: 003 | Terrace House via Architechnophilia - this image above is the part of the house that’s not actually there, [...]
Not too old school, but 2007 seems a long way off now…
So, how do you go from a 250,000 piece pile of Lego bricks to a massive structure? Very carefully - this process took five weeks.

I received a review copy of HGTV Home & Landscape Platinum Suite a while back. Due to flu and storm power outage issues, it’s taken me a while to get around to posting what I think. The good news is that since I was housebound over the last week or so due to snow, I’ve [...]
I was very happy to leave the Southwest. The lack of rain and big trees really didn’t suit me. That said, one thing I do miss about the SW is the stunning array of architecture. Yes, there’s stunning and unique architecture on just about every corner of the planet, but SW architecture has a certain [...]
Wishing everyone who celebrates the holiday an offbeat, safe, and fun Christmas day.

Clearly a poll at Offbeat Homes does almost no good.
Why:
I don’t control what people build. Offbeat homes are not an everyday find. The majority of architects in the world build still nice, but average structures.
How I find offbeat structures is random and based mostly on luck.
That said, if you vote in the poll, I [...]
Sometimes I’ll see a really delicious house, so I start reseaching because I want to learn more. However, sometimes this doesn’t pan out. Sometimes people randomly post houses and fail to say anything about said house. It’s frustrating.
Today I’ve got three of these houses. I don’t know anything about them except they rock (sorry). Starting [...]
I’m stuck in what appears to be the biggest freak storm to hit Portland, Oregon in a long time; we almost never get pre-Christmas snow. Winter is very on my mind. Well that and the fact that my poor car is stuck at the bottom of my hill. I ran out of coffee today (NOT [...]
So, since I’m such an old school resident of Portland, I’m a little cranky with myself being that I’ve never noticed this project you see above, at Communitecture’s site. Seriously now, there’s just no good excuse.
This beautiful and quirky home’s plans utilizes trapezoids over rectangles and is sustainable to boot. The house, located in Orenco, [...]
