Miller, Vitra, Knoll, et al.

Check out the Feb issue of Dwell, it's the PreFab issue and has a lot of great homes with good outlines and contact information about the interiors.

picked that issue up last week. not prefab, but the oita house really caught my eye. here are more pictures...kinda a house within a house.

interior shots

imagine those trees full grown.

wow wow wow, that's fucking awesome.

so, the designers initial concept was for the trees to grow into the "windows"? if not, is the last photo on your post a sketch of your own?

because if that was the initial concept i don't understand why they didn't just transfer bigger trees into the garden so that they wouldn't take so long to grow.

I think a straitjacket would be the perfect accessory for that house

the last photo was taken from the sou-fujimoto website, the architects who came up with the design. im guessing its more of a conceptual sketch because when i look closer at the actual photos, it appears that there is glass mounted into the openings so it would not make it possible for foliage to grow through. it kinda had me confused too lol.

Actually, only the Noguchi table would be the real big ticket item. The other stuff would be no more than some of the clothes people on here buy.

my friend works at the noguchi museum. thus, my apartment is furnished with like a few $500 lamps i got for like $50

Jealous-as-fuck.

My grandfather owned a bunch of Noguchi's. Dunno what happened to them though.

[BrokenGlass]

[Pandemonium]

no backsupport? holy crap.

[BrokenGlass]

Yea just got the table yesterday. havnt found chairs so I've got the yellow shits temporarily

[skiniks]

at least you've got a dope pad. you're just house broke for the time being i assume?

[BrokenGlass]

yea it's pretty rad. I'm just taking my time getting stuff. Mostly because I'm in need of funds and partly because I'm indecisive.

This Ikea one is similar. Not as nice but similar.

If you look closely the glass is for the interior windows. There is no glass in the holes where the trees is suppose to grow out from. So basically there is a house with a 'shell' exterior, and the tree grows outside the house, through the 'shell'

Don't worry. The genuine Temple of Jawnz looked pretty similar, on certain days. (and I'm a clean freak)

how much is rent? like 30bucks a month? lolol

[Yardsale]

converted garage steeze?

[tyang]

do you mind explaining why you are living in a converted loading dock?

[Appleseed]

So I can ship/receive jawns more quickly. Obviously.

Not sure how much of the dubious-ness is serious. It's a shit load of footage for a decent price, (not quite 30 bucks, but not awful for Downtown LA) construction is solid, (dead silent, there are a few recording studios in the bldg) I can do whatever the fuck I want with the space, and I have my own private alley replete with friendly neighborhood bums/fiends. I couldn't ask for anything more. Except maybe a pool. I miss having a pool.
