I’ve mentioned the 100K house here before, but head’s up - the blog is going strong, with all kinds of cool information regarding building thoughts, materials, and costs. Also you can catch all the most current photos, renderings and floorplans of the postgreen 100k house project at flickr. The interior shots are really neat.
If you’re […]
This house is so not me - but it literally took my breath away when I saw it. It’s so fresh, so clean cut… it’s just your basic overall slice of house delight.

According to Inhabitat, where I saw this gem, it has “smog-eating” photo-catalytic concrete
Sometimes I think my taste in homes, which used to […]
Powerlight, Inc. is a lead designer, manufacturer and installer of photovoltaic integrated building systems - in other words, they deal in solar energy. Fittingly, when Leger Wanaselja Architecture was hired to complete Powerlight’s office space, they went solar. This may be one of the best looking office spaces I’ve ever seen; take […]

Just some quick shots, because I love this little house so much, I’ll never be quiet if I get going. That said, this was built by cobworks.com and cob cottage. Once you see the interior this home just gets better and better. You can check out a multitude of wonderful photos of the home above […]
I’ve seen this home around forever, but don’t think I’ve blogged it here. It’s really cool though; worth a post for sure.
Now, can you guess what it does, without reading further? Of course, if you’ve seen this you’d know, so I’m talking to the folks who’ve missed this sweet house.
Did you guess?
It rotates! Plus it’s […]
I posted about this cool new eco podcast over at Tree Hugging Family, but I was thinking that some of my greener Offbeat readers might enjoy it as well. I’m not sure how many of you visit Tree Hugging Family, but today you might want to check out the post I did about the new […]
Who remembers last year’s HGTV Design Star event? I sure do. We had the nice Sparkle Josh visit Offbeat and then no one I liked won. That was exciting. Well Josh was cool, I wasn’t quite so excited about the outcome of the show.
In any case it seems like it’s been simply years since the […]
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.

Not me. Well, not anymore. If you’re Paul Morgan Architects then you know plain old water tanks are so last year. Marye, from Kettle & Cup, sent me a heads up about this beautiful home, the Cape Schank House. It’s posted at Materialicious - with a name like that, you know it’s a blog you […]
