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 […]
Before launching into this post I did want to point out one reader’s home in Amsterdam. It’s a very cool boat home with a green roof (as in eco-green — not color green; well, it is green in color too but well, you get the point). Home dweller Andi posted this in an older post […]
This will be our last feature post with SALA Architects. Tomorrow we’re moving on. So far we’ve seen the very nice Freeman House, the unique Lake Superior Tower Retreat, and the breath taking Johnson Residence.
Whew. Last up I think I’d like to share…
The Tester Writer’s Cabin in Deer Lake, Wisconsin designed by Katherine Hillbrand with […]
In the first post this week about SALA Architects I shared The Freeman House in River Falls, Wisconsin by Meghan Kell Cornell. Next up is something a bit more kooky.
This ultra unique Lake Superior Tower Retreat in Two Harbors, Minnesota was designed by Dale Mulfinger and Dan Wallace. According to the SALA site this […]
Offbeat Homes is an odd blog to write. ‘Offbeat’ is subjective and mostly, I suppose, subjective to me. There’s no doubt that almost everyone would agree that structures like the Poop House or the Spider Web Chalet are offbeat. But what about extremely beautiful homes — off the cuff beauty like the Camouflage House or […]
Offbeat is not so into bringing the news as it is bringing the odd but this is big. Offbeat and world renowned architect Frank Gehry is being sued by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The problem; or at this point, allegations include serious design flaws in Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s new Stata Centre. This is […]
That title’s not joking around. This home is one of those top ten dream homes you hear about. Well, it’s one of my top ten dream homes anyhow. Actually if you wanted to create a top ten dream structure list you could just visit the Lundberg Design and be perfectly fine. All the work is […]
If you ever wonder what kind of home an architect strives for here’s one nice simple example. When Eric Fisher, architect designed his own home it turned out to be an experience to say the least. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette quotes him as saying, “It was the only time in my life when I couldn’t sleep […]
The new Harley Davidson headquarters was obviously not just going to be any old structure and architects Tony Owen NDM didn’t allow it to be. The Harley is a classic and deserves an amazing structure to house it’s headquarters and I personally really enjoy how it turned out.
The new building earned it’s shape from the […]
Yesterday I posted the amazing Ellipse House and I have one more today before moving on from Cardillo’s work.
This next home is in Erice and is lovely and offbeat. I talked a lot about Cardillo yesterday so today I think I’ll leave you with the beautiful images. You should however note the killer staircase. It’s […]
The unique, odd and freaky homes of today and tomorrow.
