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 […]
You may remember Swamplot from the famed wood paneling house. Well, they recently sent me another gem of a structure - this one loaded to the brim; with bathrooms!
Look at this, it’s unbelievable.
See all the red arrows - those are flippin’ bathrooms. There’s only four bedrooms! What could you possibly need with nine-and-a-half bathrooms - […]
Lately it seems all I see are homes that technically might be out of place but are designed in such a way that blends them seamlessly into the landscape. This home, the House Kern, by Stoosarchitekten, I’m torn about. I’m a fan because Stoosarchitekten work always has nice clean lines and is subtle in […]
I say skip the sales and instead create some ultra offbeat and slick virtual homes. Equity Green had this killer post this summer on homes featured at Second Life, an Internet-based virtual world. People create worlds and then interact. However, the crown achievement of sites like this may be the home designs. Cyber based, not […]
Is Offbeat Homes really my favorite blog?
As in blogs I write; not read because that would be a whole other discussion. I think about this a lot because most professional bloggers I know do have more than one blog. I think that there are some pros and cons to playing favorites.
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 […]
Not truly candy but yummy all the same; this new Single Hauz designed by Poland based front architects comes on a stick.
It mainly reminds me of an interactive billboard or maybe a travel case without the handle.
Beat that pesky shark issue that comes with life on the water.
Here’s what I’m thinking. A home like this […]
I read a lot of cool architect blogs and offbeat design sites. It would be nice to have all the amazing structures I see gathered somewhere once in a while. So, I figured I’d post the best stuff I’ve seen all week. You can click on the photo and head over to visit and learn […]

West Coast Green, the largest residential green building conference in America recently released it’s full line-up of presenters and exhibits for this year’s show taking place on September 20-22, 2007. The show, which will be held in San Francisco, has two […]
Today we’re going to continue with more of Michael Jantzen’s work. As noted yesterday, it’s hard to pick favorites, but when I first saw Jantzen’s designs, his Wind Shaped Pavilion was the one of the designs that first drew me in. So, I’m sharing that one today. The other design I picked to share […]
