I’ve had this site for Tumbleweed Tiny House Company bookmarked forever. I keep looking at these little homes, but wondered about the realistic qualities of them. Then, I noticed the video. The video made me really want to post the tiny Tumbleweed homes, because I think it really gives you a nice look into living […]
For the last 2 years, the pilot study rating for residential LEED has been going on. Now the U.S. Green Building Council has the revised residential LEED rating goals and system ready to go. The revised system’s goal is to help architects and designers achieve a whole house approach to green living.
LEED has traditionally […]
Yesterday I mentioned the new Earthship Coffee Table Book that’s coming out soon. Then I noted we should look at some. Frankly, we don’t look at near enough earthship structures here. Not only are they earth-friendly, but some are very unique.
Earthship Biotecture is a company in Taos, NM. They specialize in, what else, earthships. […]
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 […]
Specht Harpman is all over the place which isn’t surprising considering their innovative take on energy efficient living with the zeroHouse. I adore the zeroHouse but beyond this home even, I think that any architect firm listing “Impractical” as a design category is worth a good look.
If you haven’t heard of the zeroHouse I’d be […]
If you have super speed shipping some of these could even technically pan out as holiday gifts. Honestly, I wanted to do a huge gift post earlier but just wasn’t feeling it. This is the abbreviated version.
How To See
This book is a gem. It looks like something only a select few might enjoy; but really […]
Remember yesterday when I said I liked two cool homes from Cheryl Heinrichs Architecture yet, only showed the Twisted House? Or maybe you remember my straw bale promise. Well…
The Tranquility House is a great straw bale home designed by Cheryl Heinrichs Architecture. I really like this house. Although to be honest it had to grow […]
Today why not relax and enjoy one of the many fairytale homes of the Offbeat past. Fairytale homes are always amazing fun — even the second time around.
Here are two I especially love:
Amazing Woodland Homes

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 […]
