Ryan Thewes is a newer name on the design scene having recently set up his own practice in Nashville. I doubt he’ll stay a newer name for long though. His background, even just as a student of design, is already impressive. He’s been lucky enough to study and work with some amazing architects such as […]
Contemporist had the most amazing structure back in December. Honestly, really gorgeous. The building, close to Seoul’s Gangnam district is designed by Mass Studies Architects; a design firm I’ve heard of, but haven’t considered too much (I can’t consider everyone - not enough hours in the day). Had I spent any time at their site […]
Um, does this add-on freak anyone else out?
Bloomframe is an add-on balcony. The first Bloomframes will, according to designers/architects, Hofman Dujardin, be available early this year. You can add Bloomframe to a new or existing building. I don’t think a plain old balcony is scary. I mean, anyone can add a balcony on sure. Here’s […]
The other day when I showed the zeroHouse I mentioned that I like other designs from Specht Harpman better. First off I should say that any architect firm who has a structure category entitled, “Impractical” is worth a good look.
The most interesting impractical item to see is Specht Harpman’s Psychoplex; which is as odd as […]
Welcome to an easy round of bonus points for this December’s Reader Appreciation Contest.
Offbeat has featured some outstanding architects. Sometimes though, the architects we meet here aren’t as popular as other featured guests. Probably because this is Offbeat Homes and not Architectural Digest.
That’s fine. I am partial to the architects because they mastermind such visions […]
Happy December! Hope everyone’s having a good kick off to what will be a busy month for many of us. Where I live we were supposed to get snow this morning. I’m in Southwest Washington and didn’t believe the rumors and so far I’m right. Good news for me because I’m not the biggest snow […]
There’s been some nice happenings at Architectural Digest lately. They have a fun video up with their latest open auditions for architects and designers — sort of like a mini reality show but architect based. I thought the video was interesting. You can vote for your favorites. There’s also information on how to RSVP for […]
In the first post this week about SALA Architects I shared The Freeman House in River Falls, Wisconsin by Meghan Kell Cornell. Next up is something a bit more kooky.
This ultra unique Lake Superior Tower Retreat in Two Harbors, Minnesota was designed by Dale Mulfinger and Dan Wallace. According to the SALA site this […]
The new Harley Davidson headquarters was obviously not just going to be any old structure and architects Tony Owen NDM didn’t allow it to be. The Harley is a classic and deserves an amazing structure to house it’s headquarters and I personally really enjoy how it turned out.
The new building earned it’s shape from the […]
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
One World Design — the Drew Residence (I love this home)
San Luis Sustainability Group — The first […]
