This year we rented a part of an oceanfront house that was built as a single family home in 1961 (by Jacksonville architect: Taylor Hardwick). It was converted into three condos in 1979. We mostly rented it because of the architecture, and today the owner, knowing this, provided us with original pho...

Just found this in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/19/reale ... ref=slogin

I just learned that Farnsworth House is flooded again: http://www.farnsworthhouse.org/index.htm

Don't know where to put this, so I'll highjack the kitchen thread. I just found a listing in Palm Springs with incredible . Awesome.

We installed an IKEA kitchen with Abstract light grey fronts in 1996 and used it more than 10 years. When we sold it, it still looked like new. http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/41/1063141/400_6135386139626435.jpg http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/41/1063141/400_3861326530623337.jpg http...

These photos were also published in the book "Photographing Architecture And Interiors" by Julius Shulman, page 96. There's a description, too: "Beverages are not the only things subject to instant preparation as is evident from the photograph top left [which is photo #1 in Joes's lin...

I was at Ikea tonight (a jammed freeway and the lure of a $6.00 salmon dinner) For a budget, I liked a counter they may even stock. It was plain formica but thick, like 1 1/4 or so with a multi layer plywood edge. This one? http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/41/1063141/1280_3365353536376430.jp...

Two years later I have to dig up this thread because I found out about the architect of the first house - Darrell F. Fleeger. He built it for his family in 1962. It is for sale again and listed with architectureforsale for $900,000. Sales history on Zillow says 01/12/2004: $465,000 06/10/2003: $403,...

I always thought some of the facade that was still standing (and was so typical for the WTC) should have been kept for the on-site memorial. But that was probably not feasible plus nobody thought about it anyway in the aftermath of the desaster. Until this day I'm not able to watch relatively low fl...

Now - THIS is something for the modern cat! http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/41/1063141/1280_3934396334643863.jpg Available at http://cat-interiors.de/. I thought about buying it for our spoiled cat but I don't think he'll use it. He would absolutely love the cardbox it comes in, tho. :wink:

Our very beloved cat Mütze ("cap") http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/41/1063141/400_6439303037373763.jpg http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/41/1063141/400_3732393534386361.jpg He's the most affectionate cat you can imagine. Actually, he's much more a dog than a cat. And he has ...

Very cool!

I just spent a lot of time (and will spend some more later) drooling over as well. Some of them are outstanding.

So thanks for the link.

As always, I'm amazed that someone with *that* kind of taste in furniture and decoration chose to buy such a house. Aren't there enough others that better match the "style"? This incongruousness (does that word exist?), which you can see in so many homes, really baffles me. Anyone out ther...

Aaaah, in my lovely hometown, full of culture and wackos! I love it. :) Just read something on this new Beatles Square in the local newspaper "Hamburger Abendblatt". The Beatles’ Square will be built at the entrance to the “Große Freiheitâ€￾, according to the plans of architects Dohse...

Just recentyl, when visiting my mom, I noticed how much of this "old Scandinavian stuff" she has. Ceramics as well as stainless steel with teak serving peaces, salt and pepper shakers, bowls ... Plus this rather famous chimp by Kay Bojesen: http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/41/106314...

Funny. Just looked at Eldane's house for sale in CT and there it is - .

I'd seen the photos before but hadn't really noticed that wall. "You only see what you know". How true ...

Thanks to Amazon - I have that book! There are two pages on the Horizon House: http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/41/1063141/1280_3439313736316634.jpg http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/41/1063141/1280_3465613338653331.jpg If this house is the only one you are interested in, I'd say it is ...

There is an interesting article from the Architectural Record "hidden" in the list of those mid-century modern homes in the second link: .

By EVE M. KAHN Published: June 28, 2007 ATLANTA IN 2005, when Theodore and Susan Pound first saw the house they would end up buying in the Buckhead neighborhood here, it had been for sale for a year, even as properties around it sold within weeks. The Atlanta market was hot, at least for traditional...

Is there any interest generated by your work by any other houses on that street. It was really sad to see so many muddled beyond recognition, last time I drove by there. Do the neighbors think 'what the h*** is this guy doing or are they thinkin hey maybe I can do something like that. Does anyone o...

please don't pop my bubble - i'd like to think there is a design conciousess country somewhere in the world :) I'd say Denmark definitely is a design conscious country. There's good design in public almost everywhere. But, unfortunately, the private taste is a different matter as you can see in the...

Just found another one: https://www.home.dk/sag/110L0124 from 1956 and one of Arne Jacobsen's rowhouses: https://www.home.dk/sag/156-5119, also from 1956 and this one, a typical Danish home: https://www.home.dk/sag/153T9682 That's Danish modern! Had to add this one - love the kitchen: https://www.ho...

Thanks for the report and the wonderful photos. I’m from northern Germany where many people spend their summer vacations in one of the Scandinavian countries. I know Stockholm, not Helsinki, and my DH is from Copenhagen, so I visited the city quite often during the last 20+ years, and I love it. W...
