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 […]
I’ve been noticing offbeat beaver houses everywhere lately…
NO! Not these kind. More like this…
I have no idea what the heck this is. And also, it’s sort of a cheat because it’s not an actual home but look at this:
He’s leaning up against a little house. Weird. If you’re looking for a more swanky offbeat beaver […]
Eco-architecture and architects comes in many levels and flavors. From easy green to extreme but every bit counts. Here are some beautiful (and cool) green structures. To learn more simply click on the links.
DeBoer Architects — the Gatehouse

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 […]
So, lame me; I’m a day or so late in reporting this but for some reason I thought the post I read about this project at CNET said that the WIRED installation was happening next week. I was so excited and then later felt this sinking sensation that I had speed read too quickly. […]

Well, now you can have even less!
Thanks to FAT, a hip architectural practice you can share even your most unsharable moments with your partner, kids, maybe even some friends…
Yikes! From the FAT site:
“This installation, commissioned by the British Council for its Hometime Exhibition in China, uses customized standard bathroom products to create a bathroom retreat […]
Boy do I look small time, compared to the coverage at d*s (design*sponge). They were invited to the Top Design Season (Show) Finale party. She shares some behind the scenes dirt and finds out that Todd Oldham is also familiar with the d*s blog! Whoa!
I wasn’t the only Goil supporter either, d*s was on his […]
Finally a whole space. Top Design Lofty Designs.
With a budget of $162,500 transform a Loft, at Santa Fe Lofts, for themselves. This task was, unlike ANY of the others, heavy on design time. Matt and Carisa were allowed TWO MONTHS! On the other hand, they were only given five days to execute. Weird.
At the beginning […]
A trip to the Viceroy served as a back drop for inspiration, maybe a little intimidation too. The wonderfully beautiful, and extremely talented Kelly Wearstler is the designer responsible for the Viceroys look. This weeks task, design a hotel room. This weeks incentive, not immunity, but a editoral spotlight in Metropolitan Home.
Yawn…
We are in a […]
