what are you willing to give up for your home? house kw, along with many other white outs, test our daily rituals. i remember reading a while back a comment about schemata architecture office's very severe 63.02 (referring of course to the axis the house is cut on). the commenter said, "if it has a bathroom, i could live there with my ipod and a microwave owen." his typo. these houses must also be tested by their environments - i've often wondered how the white facades hold up in a city with tons of exhaust and fumes.
s. takeoka atelier's house kw is certainly not the most severe white out. but i don't think you could put just any old furniture in this house.
i recommend looking into s. takeoka atelier's work and reading soil in the city (via south willard) which inspired this post and used the term white out...

Top | Reply to this Title: Interesting take... Author: Jeff Date Posted: 03 Jul 2009 11:38 AM (GMT -06:00) on what is necessary for a house. That is certainly a valid thought piece and one worthy for allof us to pursue in an examination of what is important in one's life. Steve martin did something like that in the move the jerk, when he stated all he needed was a chair and a thermos and his dog (the dog growled at him and he said, "maybe not my dog") etc., etc. Regardless, your point is well made, a careful examination of priorities in is a good thing. In this series of photos, I admit that I am not enamored of the exterior. I do love the view, though (it is the 2nd to last shot of the bunch). The view is intriguing and engaging. I would love to see that view at night. |
