lantern houses
Spotted on Inhabitat - these glass walled retreats resemble lanterns at night, becoming beacons for travellers in Woodside, CA. Designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson and winners of the 2010 Green GOOD DESIGN awards, the retreats are constructed of Western Red Cedar, a sustainable material that had the lowest environmental impact when weighed against other material choices. The cedar lines both the interior and exterior and really blurs the line between exterior and interior. Just large enough for a bedroom, bathroom and office, these are my kind of retreat, for either summer or winter. Modern eco gorgeousness.

ReplyDeleteoh my god these are gorgeous. The furniture is a little spare for me, but I'll take it anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how fabulous it would feel living there!
ReplyDeleteThose look like the definition of serenity. Take me now!
ReplyDeleteThese homes are gorgeous. Definitely not good for a populated area, but perfect for the middle of nowhere. I'd love to wake up and see that much of the landscape around me every day.
