I needed to purge my overflowing bookmarks so here’s some beautiful architecture I’ve been collecting. Check out the links for additional information and pictures! (There are a lot of wood and stone floors in these homes… not my usual)
Tijuana apparently isn’t just for novelty vacations and abominable side shows anymore. A modern apartment complex has been developed, sticking with a strict color scheme of black, white and deep orange.
A 120 year old home in Japan has been renovated, with the central focus being an enormous table. Okay.
This is an old firehouse in London that has been converted into a really impressive house (check out the retractable roof).
Another conversion, is a silo in Utah. The curved walls require ingenious utilization of space and the way standard windows were accomodated is impressive. I’ve always been intrigued by round structures and used to dream of living in a geodesic dome house but after learning that everything must be custom made to conform to the shape, I lost interest. This makes me want to dream again.
Another curved house in London. The giant leather sling in the library just kills me. How wonderful and cozy could that be? All that glass and the pops of color are so ideal.
This home is tucked away in the woods of Holland. So much beautiful glass! Oh, to live without curtains and have nature so close.
Oh, and the next time I happen to be swinging through Spain, I’ll definitely be staying at the Hotel Diagonal in Barcelona! ;)

I’ve seen some of these and others as well…. (and it reminds me I ought to clean out some bookmarks, too… and send some links your way when I find the similar homes). Beautiful. Have you ever seen any converted lighthouses? I remember seeing some pictures awhile back and I was in complete awe. Living in a lighthouse would be like… total dream for me. Now I’ve got to google and drool. :)
