Art studio – container style
This might be my favorite shipping container project so far. This really takes advantage of the properties of the container without being limited by them. The basement becomes a solution for the grade as well as a fantastic base to attach to. If my backyard looked like this, I’d love […]
Recycled Cork Flooring
I love this product. Cork flooring has always been a favorite of mine, but this reuse of wine bottle corks is particularly beautiful. Here is the link to the full story from Inhabitat – http://inhabitat.com/2010/05/13/recycled-wine-corks-make-stylish-penny-tile-flooring/ Penny tiles are a popular look for interior flooring.

Residential Remodel – Phoenix, AZ
Here are some progress images of a project we are designing to the master suite of a cool house in Phoenix. The Owners have some great requests and want an “everyday spa” feel – not too indulgent, but certainly comfortable and usable. This really has turned into a fun little […]
Energy Efficient PreFab: Huf House
From the Inhabitat blog, this is a great prefab system now being represented out of Cleveland, OH. I’m interested to see what the prices per square foot are, but the system really allows some beautiful spaces. German company HUF HAUS is offering gorgeous green houses to the masses by bringing Bauhaus […]
Underground Earth House
This is just beautiful, and worth linking to. I love the gesture to incorporate the felled trees into the retaining wall, and wanting those spots to decay naturally. Korean architect Byoung Soo Cho has built an underground house outside Seoul. Called Earth House, it’s not as fancy as some iterations of […]
Green Building – Coolidge, AZ
Here is an update on an exciting project in Coolidge, Arizona. Coolidge is a town of about 12,000 people 50 miles south of Phoenix. I’m working with a landowner there to develop about 60 acres into about 48 new 1 AC home sites. The houses will take on the rural […]
Lebbeus Woods – Real live drawings
This from Lebbeus Woods’ Blog – reposted here mostly because I can’t believe I almost forgot how beautiful this drawing style is, and was reminded again today as I was researching. 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, […]
