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 […]

Ok, hopelessly may be pushing it. It’s not like I’m sending them stalker letters or visiting them first thing of the day. That said, I do really, super, very much adore this blog. It’s not an architect blog, more a smattering of stuff - mostly wicked cool stuff.
I don’t know why, but lately I’ve been […]

So, I was looking up another house when I came across this.
You have to admit, this is a pretty slick house. Sure the colors are blah, but the shape is divine. On the downside, I can’t tell you anything other than it’s in Clear Lake, IA. Why? Well, because two fellows on a booze trip […]

The Wallpaper Design Awards for 2008 showcased some truly amazing pieces - in all categories. I however, am mostly concerned with their architecture categories. In the case of the private home awards, Wallpaper featured some beautiful entries. There are three homes that I am especially head over heels for.
Villa NM, New York State, US by […]

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. (Since October!) Somehow this bookmark was pushed aside, and I forgot about it. The Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards are an annual event. Both professional photographers and non-professionals are highlighted each year. There are many categories covered by the professional and non-professionals. Of course, my two […]

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 […]

In Bend, Oregon is a small team, Cheryl Heinrichs Architecture who has created some great sustainable designs. Not all offbeat but two in particular stand out as notably unique. The goal of Cheryl Heinrichs Architecture is to indulge owners while maintaining a sustainable outlook — in materials, size, and feeling. One of the two homes […]

This is only a take one because we will absolutely need to see more of Felipe Assadi + Francisca Pulido. I was recently thinking about their Casa Buzeta — likely because I need a vacation and then I realized I’ve never even shown this amazing vacation home here. The upbeat part of this realization is […]

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 […]
