Sustainable Residence in Los Angeles with Original Architecture Details
Hover House 2 was designed by Glen Irani architects and is located in Los Angeles, USA. The residence has a unique architecture, serving both an aesthetic purpose and a functional one. According to the architects, the house “is planned around the use of a fully developed outdoor living environment which includes a kitchen, dining area and living area. Hovering a large volume above the landscape eliminates the typical discontinuity
between the front and rear garden areas and situates a built outdoor environment in the midst of a measurably larger feeling garden space. The blanketing roof is shaped to conduct softly gradient, reflected clerestory light while seemingly floating gently and protectively over the interior spaces“. Moreover, the Hover House 2 was built with sustainability in mind: ” PVC cool roof technology, high efficiency mechanical systems, window shading, sustainable wood finish and structural products and minimization of long term refinishing and maintenance are just several measures this project.” The interior design is highly contemporary, featuring intriguing furniture arrangements

JR on Bowery and Houston
So Kenny Scharf's colorful cartoonish mural has been replaced by a rather staid JR piece. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I was astounded by JR's photos of Israelis and Palestinians that I saw along the separation wall outside Bethlehem. And the photos of his work in Brazil are amazing. Maybe I'm missing something here, but it's not really working for me.

In the East Village
I think these adorable kids thought we were trying to photograph them -- rather than the door (a reasonable assumption.) And so they danced for us for about 10 minutes before we moved on!

Another Brooklyn Wall Captured by Lenny Collado
Lenny's got the graffiti-hunting bug. He's been finding hundreds of first-rate tags and bombs in Bushwick and beyond -- that will take me days to check out. But the walls that he's getting are just fun -- like this one by Shiro.

Classical and modern
The house is beautiful and elegantly designed for a young couple who asked the optimization of land and open spaces. The combination of wood, glass, concrete and zinc ended up giving the house a comfortable and look nice. The house is simple in plan and form, referring to conventional homes. Using precious linings of concrete bricks, wood for heating perception, titanium sheet and zinc and glass from five feet, they created the impression of a modern structure in a classical form. The idea of this series is to show inspirational and beautiful houses. The houses that stand out for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. Interior design and beautifully designed homes, you’re in the right place.

Lenny Collado Does Brooklyn
Lenny Collado came by today with about 200 photos he took in the last two days in Brooklyn. There are so many interesting ones that it will take me days to sort through them. This is a particular favorite.
