The full link here: http://lebbeuswoods.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/high-houses/ The High Houses are proposed as part of the reconstruction of Sarajevo after the […]

More containers – OceanScope
Sorry, I know I have been a little fixated on these lately, but this is just a beautiful installation. Perfect for the context without the need for additional skin, and the lighting of these really make it memorable.

Airstream Mobile Office
These guys have it right. 100%. Right down to the Balvenie in the cabinet. Love the pics, and the work looks really nice, too. The company is a design and branding effort called One Fast Buffalo, and I am pretty bummed that they have such a very cool mobile office, […]
Finding the New in the Old.
I found this project as I was doing some design image research for a rural green community in Arizona. I liked it so much, I thought I’d post it. Combining the new with the old has always been an expected architectural talking point, but one really takes notice when the […]
Upcycle Living – Phoenix, AZ

“Never, never, never, never give up.”
This is one of my favorite Winston Churchill quotes, and it is quickly becoming a solid mantra for 2010. Even though this isn’t really about architecture, the link below reminded me of that quote. It is an excellent reminder that sometimes your long-term win may not have anything to do […]
