One determined, yet somewhat disenchanted architect + pounds of garbage + many good deeds + a hard core attempt at social change = slick homes.
Sounds like the movie of the year to me.

So earlier today I posted the new architecture movie, and now a book. It must be media day here. Actually I received an e-mail about this amazing looking book a while ago, but sadly, allowed my e-mail efforts to fall behind.
The New Earthship Coffee Table Book: Part I by Michael Reynolds, looks great. I’m not […]
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 […]

Is it even fair […]
After yesterday’s scoop on the poop house I figured Offbeat could use some sweetening up. Thus the beautiful Honey House.
I love earthbag homes because one, they’re sweet to the planet and two they always seem so smooth. I love the non-edgy qualities of many of the earthbag shelters I’ve seen.
This earthbag; the Honey House was […]
Design Star news:
Yup folks the end of HGTV Design Star is drawing to an end. Will it be Kim or Todd? Who knows. It’s won’t be Sparkle Josh so it’s hard to care but still he is supposed to be on the final show so that’s exciting. I did vote and you should too. I […]
This is a quickie post because frankly, you have to go watch the slides of this amazing cube home by Werner Aisslinger to appreciate the full Loftcube Project experience.
Here are a few photos to wet your inner cube appetite. It’s an impressively wide open floor plan so imagine flow from every direction.
