Pure Genius -me

"Pure Genius"

This Amazing House build on Lake Huron, Canada is built by MOS architects. The whole wooden boards around the house idea ends up looking amazing, especially when they make grids on each surface using openings and closings, beams (etc.) around the exterior of the house. They also used clever placement of lighting so you can see the same grid effect at night.

See what I mean by grids???

I LOVE boat houses at night!

Cabin Verdehaugen

This house is so amazing... I would eat it...

The interior (color-wise) doesn’t really reflect on how edgy and dangerous the outside looks…Its so calm… but the legs of the table (shape-wise) reflect on the exterior look

I LOVE this house from this angle… its so… “In your face”… edgy

I love how it can be calm… and edgy/dangerous at the same time…

Its amazing how it almost seems as if its a rectangular house… from this angle

the thing above is my citation… this is how it will always look…

He is well known for his “Push Button House” that he designed for the coffee company Illy. He is also known for using containers… (the ones for shipping) in his buildings. }

{Bunny Lane is Adam Kalkin's home... which is now apparently on the market}

{Here’s an interview that Dwell did with him that shows off his amazing house}

{Bunny Lane}

The Best part of this house is how he can keep two worlds in one… the old country look and the very modern look at the same time!

RENT-ish… No?

I LOVE how it looks like a house from the outside too… with the chimney in the perfect spot.

Wow.. I wonder how long it took to cut the containers

P.S. I am a student… so I will post when I can… but I will post less when I get busy …
