A floating home by the sea. Modern and comfortable. The house is surrounded by a wooden deck and shallow water. A bridge connects the deck to the guay. Fully interiored as always. Kitchen, toilet and living room downstairs. Bathroom, bedroom and storage space upstairs. You find photos of the interiors in my photostream.
Inspiration comes from childhood summers and sailing with my parents. It was a challenge to catch the maritime feeling with details such as railings and stays and at the same time keep the design clean and modern.
I used dark blue bricks to create the water surface. The more common technique with transparent tiles or plates wasn't really on option because it didn't fit in the colour scheme.
Lilium Eco House [WIP] is named after the lily flower. It is an eco-house with solar panels on the roof, large windows facing south and west, vegetables growing in the conservatory, high levels of insulation and daylight and material absorbing the warmth of the sun. Yet, it is a comfortable house with open social areas and modern design.
In Olive Sand House I combine the the desertlike surroundings and olive green/tan colour scheme of Whitebrick Sand House with the striped architecture of for example Green Rock House, Calmwater Cliff House and Vanilla House that has in some way become my trademark.
Bedroom on second floor of House on Striped Pillars. Glass windows on three sides.
Modern living inspired by old open-air-bath architecture as the house is standing on pillars in water and is offering an open space for bathing in the middle.
You enter the terrace through the rock on the backside of the house. On the terrace you find a small outdoor kitchen and table with chairs made of ladders and steering wheels. Kitchen, reading corner, livingroom and sauna with shower on first floor.
The house is entered from the terrace. A high plated wall goes though this floor leading from the hallway to the master bedroom and bathroom. Here you sleep with a 180 degrees sea view.
The floor below is reached by a floating staircase attached to the wall. A corridor with a resting chair (made of life preservers) and glass cabinet combines two parts of the house. One of them is hosting a kitchen and dining area. The other one is hosting a livingroom. Here you also find a small sauna and shower room with a ladder leading directly down to the water.
This is my third house built into a rock. The other two are called "Green Rock House" and "Calmwater Cliff House".
Living room with glass stairs leading up to the bedroom and roof terrace. Large windows let the sunlight in.
Whitebrick Sand House is characterized by straight lines, glass and sandy colours. Placed in desertlike environment, yet close to civilization. Somewhere to relax.

Meet Jiwon Choi, from Seoul, South Korea, and currently a senior at RISD,
majoring in Furniture Design (see amazing photograph below).
Today was one of our favorite outings to the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence where we attended their alumni and student art sale! As I strolled down Benefit Street, this beautiful face caught my eye immediately. Normally I chat with people before taking their picture. However, today I couldn't resist capturing Jiwon first! Instantly I approached Jiwon and asked if it were ok to photograph her and put her on my flickr website. She was most agreeable and posed for the two shots below. When I showed her the images on my camera, she instantly said she liked the "more natural" pose which is what you see here!
I explained to Jiwon that I am very uncomfortable having my picture taken, so am getting courage by approaching people who are so generous with their smiles! Jiwon gave me a tiny 1-1/2" x 3/4" card with her name, web site and e-mail address!
Her English was impeccable, and Jiwon mentioned she had studied in Canada for a few years.
I love this artistic statement:
"I love to interact with people and want to make intellectual visual communication with various kinds of methods. I believe that this interaction has a great impact in terms of perception and understandings of our life. I want to establish my distinct field of graphic design that arouses viewer's sympathy. I am enjoying DESIGN, which is not as a working but as a playing. I am especially interested in information design and planning environmental design."
For a very SPECIAL treat (FLIGHT DREAM), click HERE for one of (the other) Jiwon's darling creations!
NOTE:
Since posting this last evening, I have since heard from Jiwon via e-mail. Evidently there is another gal by the same name at RISD! (small world) . . . and it was from her website that I quoted the artist statement and posted the video . . . but I am going to leave both, as they are so serendipitous as to what has been happening in my life the past 2 weeks!
Little did I realize I would be doing TWO stranger interviews with one person!!!
Imagine the sea view...

An interesting interior view of the BBC's first home in Leeds and a building they themselves vacated in the early years of the 20th Century after which is was remodelled by architects Fielden Clegg. The actual building, now known as Old Broadcasting House, was origianlly a Friends Meeting House (for the Quakers) and had been constructed in 1866-68 and designed by Edward Birchall. The BBC must have acquired it as they strengthened their regional presence in the 1920s and '30s as this image dates from c1933/4 and shows the work undertaken by the Leeds based architect John C Proctor.
It is suitably 'modernist' as was the case in London's Broadcasting House of 1930/32 and has obviously been designed, understandably, with acoustics in mind. Otherwise, as suited radio broadcasting at the time, it has elements of a well heeled drawing room of the period with very fine chairs and matching furniture to allow broadcasters and artists to sit, rest and read! No doubt this interior was, in turn, much modified in BBC days especially with the introduction of TV broadcasting but it is a glimpse into radio history when the medium was 'new' and 'important' as seen it its design and architecture.

Reading corner. Calmwater Cliff House MOC.
Calmwater Cliff House is located on a cliff by the beach. Two floors with a terrace on each floor. Downstairs you find a spacious kitchen and dining area, a bathroom and home office. Upstairs you find a music corner with sea view, a bedroom and the main entrance.
As you see it´s a LEGO house and I´ve mainly used the colours black, dark tan, tan and reddish brown.
I wanted to make a modern home - in some way inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the colours of the 20th century - updated to 21st century lifestyle.

An interesting take on the 50th anniversary of A&P from a whimsical book produced by the company in 1949 called 'Have you a trumpet handy?'. Annoyingly no artist is shown although the book was produced for A&P by Waddicor and printed at the County Press, Bradford, by Lund, Humphries.
Accles & Pollock, although founded in 1901, have earlier origins and were originally based in Holford Mill, Perry Barr, Birmingham before moving to Oldbury in 1902. They became famous for manufacturing and manipulating tubes including a tubular steel aircraft in 1910 and more successfully in the fields of stainless steel tubes and bike frame tubes. They also made precious tubes, down to the smallest sizes of hypodermic needles at .005 inches. In 1919 they became part of Tube Investments, the Birmingham based engineering combine. A&P were sold off in 1996 as TI foundered.
One of TI's companies that was closely associated with A&P was Pel Furniture a company's whose designs perfectly matched the then contemporary modern look in items such as chairs and furniture. That alongside those stacking chairs my schools in West Bromwich were full of (along with Kingfisher Desks!). The staircase balustrades are also very contemprary - looks like granolithic compound alongside the stainless steel.
Furniture created for Calmwater Cliff House MOC. I later decided only to use the plant in my final build.

Scandinavian Sea House MOC is a small - but functional - house by the sea. It is shaped like an L and located somewhere in the Swedish archipelago. Downstairs you find a small TV-room and kitchen next to a guest room and a laundry room. A storage space is hidden underneath the staircase, that leads up to the master bedroom. And now we come to the best part - the home spa! Here you find a Turkish bath and resting chairs in a peaceful environment with a panorama sea view. Double glass doors lead to the roof terrace outside.
