I don't know anything about this home other than it's super modern and simple. Especially interesting to see the assembly/building photos...and take a look at the staircase- it's one whole unit (you can see it in the pre-paint stage in the assembly photos).

If you're rollin' in silver and gold (the real kind), then you perhaps will easily be able to shell out $125/square foot for these silver and gold wall tiles.

I recently added some glass mosaic tiles to my kitchen back splash, and the slight reflection of the small squares add such a nice touch. Something to keep in mind if you're itching to update your own kitchen or bath...

I saw this quite a while back in dwell magazine (as I'm sure some of you did too) and it remains one of the more ingenious solutions for a sleeping area in small spaces.
"Having decided to site the new loft bedroom directly above the kitchen, the architects met the challenge of stacking two rooms, each with a seven-foot ceiling height, in only 12 feet of vertical space by creating two interlocking puzzle pieces: The mattress in the bedroom sits directly atop the ultra-thin kitchen ceiling (which enables a full-height space downstairs), and the floor area around the mattress is two feet lower than the platform on which it sits (thereby creating a full-height circulation area up above)."

This is a crazy house, and I mean that in a good way. The whole black/cream/red/orange color palette is so very suitable to the sharp angles, and I think it's pretty fascinating how the idea of the Klein Bottle was the base from which the structure evolved.
"This holiday house is situated on the Mornington Peninsula 1.5 hrs drive from Melbourne. It is located within the tee–tree on the sand dunes, a short distance from the wild 16th beach. From the outset MCR wanted a building that nestled within the tree line. That talked about journey and the playfulness of holiday time. What began as a spiral or shell like building developed into a more complex spiral, the Klein bottle. MCR were keen to be topologically true to the Klein bottle but it had to function as a home. We thought an origami version of the bottle would be achievable and hold some ironic fascination." [text and images via materialicio.us] [posted by katie]

While this cotton insulation costs twice as much as regular fiberglass insulation, there's something to be said for being able to install it with your bare hands (there's been more than enough times where just being in the proximity of fiberglass insulation will make me itch, so I'd be willing to pay a little more for comfort), not to mention all the environmental benefits/credentials.
"Made from cotton fibers recovered from blue jean and other textile manufacturers, UltraTouch insulation offers excellent thermal and acoustical performance. Because it doesn't contain fiberglass, it won’t cause itching or skin irritation during installation. It's formaldehyde- and VOC-free, so offgassing isn't an issue. The re-used cotton fibers are treated with an EPA-registered fungal inhibitor that offers excellent protection from mold, mildew, fungus and pests, as well as providing outstanding fire-resistance properties."
