Full-Size Modern Lego House from James May

By matalangit On November 29th, 2009

Toy storeys: James May and 1,000 helpers built the 20ft-tall Lego house on a wine estate in Surrey. Lego has also banned May from dismantling the structure and giving away the bricks, which the company donated for his forthcoming BBC show James May’s Toy Stories. May slept in the modern house on Friday night, on ‘the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in’ – when he also discovered the house was not waterproof. May believes that an art gallery, a children’s home or a wealthy private collector might be interested in the house. Knocking it down is just wrong on every level. It’s a really lovely thing – it would break the hearts of the 1,000 people who worked like dogs to build it.via.

Modern Helmut Eppich House Designed by Arthur Erickson in West Vancouver, Canada

By matalangit On November 25th, 2009

The concept of this modern Helmut Eppich House Designed by Arthur Erickson location in West Vancouver, Canada with concrete frame structure makes very effective use of a large site, which was formerly considered unbuildable. Thus, it was only natural that the landscape concept emerged even before the modern house. It is a concrete house of stepped terraces extending laterally across the site, withheld by concrete retaining walls, with concrete beams and columns supporting the roofs and trellises. The house itself, a 3-level structure, retains the hillside and only the carport is visible from the street above. The property, used as a fill dumping ground and in shadow most of the time, presented an especially challenging siting problem.
