See all the beauty at Inhabitat.

The Copper House renovation in Massachusetts by Charles Rose Architects is so lovely - starting with the color. The renovation added a wing to a 1940s kit home, and manages to integrate old and new design nicely. It looks crisp and modern but not overly so. It’s got a […]

Remember the Alaska Beauty I recently posted? Maybe not since not one person commented on it! I however am obsessed with this house. Just the other day I found another photo of it purely by chance. At least I think it’s the same house — it looks like it from the green roof. It must […]
