I’m not usually drawn to chapels - they just aren’t my deal. However, the St. Croix Lutheran High School Chapel in West St. Paul, Minnesota is an exception. It’s simple, yet, lovely in form and shimmery with copper. I love how tight it is; mod but classic (if that makes sense). Just an overall beautiful […]
Do you remember this cool house?
I posted about this house, the Gilmore Trail House, a while back. Well, Mark Fejes, the fellow who designed and built the home contacted me with an update about it plus some photos. Neat, because if you remember, I noted that I wanted to learn more about it, and […]
Ryan Thewes is a newer name on the design scene having recently set up his own practice in Nashville. I doubt he’ll stay a newer name for long though. His background, even just as a student of design, is already impressive. He’s been lucky enough to study and work with some amazing architects such as […]
Last Call for Planet Earth is a brand new documentary coming out on January 31st. The focus… the environmental effects of building. Very cool. According to Architect Online, the film will premiere in, “Brussels at the European Commission’s Berlaymont Building. Conceived by Belgium-based filmmaker Jacques Allard, the movie features interviews with 12 leading architects around […]
Antonino Cardillo recently sent me some info on a new project for a competition he’s working on - delightful news for Offbeat Homes, because we love Mr. Cardillo’s work around here. This new idea seems extremely large and involved - but partly that’s because of the pre-existing site structures.
Here’s an overview of the plan:

The other day when I showed the zeroHouse I mentioned that I like other designs from Specht Harpman better. First off I should say that any architect firm who has a structure category entitled, “Impractical” is worth a good look.
The most interesting impractical item to see is Specht Harpman’s Psychoplex; which is as odd as […]
Since I don’t, what I can tell you about Kauffmann Theilig & Partner is that their designs rock. Sure I could look them up on some English websites but it’s the weekend. Let’s just have a nice show.

You can see this is going somewhere good:
Wavy amazement: Actually, this home, I did take the time […]
Earlier in the week we looked at the amazing Chameleon House by Anderson Anderson Architecture. Today we’re going to see residential work with two homes that vary drastically from each other. Variety is spicy.
The Courtyard House
This home was designed for a retired couple and it would be a great place to settle in for […]
There are many architect awards each year but the BusinessWeek & Architectural Record Awards actually awards not only form, design, and beauty but also awards based on contribution to business. The 10th year winners were recently announced. There were over 100 applicants this year from worldwide teams of architects and their business clients so […]
Happy December! Hope everyone’s having a good kick off to what will be a busy month for many of us. Where I live we were supposed to get snow this morning. I’m in Southwest Washington and didn’t believe the rumors and so far I’m right. Good news for me because I’m not the biggest snow […]
The unique, odd and freaky homes of today and tomorrow.
