California Roll House
I want to live in a spaceship! While this house by designer Christopher Daniel of ViolentVolumes is not built (yet, I hope) it looks and feels great. Look at that door! That one itself makes me want to arrive five times a day!
Miller Residence by Eero Saarinen
A change for our regular programming – not your typical city loft – however it has the open plan living and the floor-to-ceiling windows you’d expect. Saarinen’s buildings are truly timeless classics and this is one of the few family homes he had ever designed.
The Home of Rolf Bruggink
Rolf Bruggink, a Dutch designer, calls the crumbling town house he renovated in Rotterdam the Black Pearl, after the black painted brick facade that replaced the original one.
Cantilever Glass House
It took three years to build, but the Emerald Art Glass House now hovers above the factory in the South Side neighborhood, overlooking the Monongahela River, railway line and bridges.
Modern Castle

Million Dollar Townhouse

The Round Tower
The Round Tower is a listed medieval structure restored and turned into a residence located in Glouchestershire, England.
Iconic houses – Chemosphere
After two years of restoration, John Lautner’s famous Chemosphere house in the Hollywood Hills above Los Angeles, is once again the remarkable innovative design that Lautner created in 1960. The new owners Angelika and Benedikt Taschen first saw the house in 1997 in a neglected state, and set about repairing the building and Lautner’s reputation. “(The house) was unique”, Ms. Taschen recalled. “authentic and intense, idealistic and full of fantasy, non-conformist. I felt immediately that it fit our character perfectly.”
Ennis House
When Frank Lloyd Wright completed the Ennis house in 1924, he immediately considered it his favorite. The last and largest of the four concrete-block houses that Wright built in the Los Angeles area remains arguably the best residential example of Mayan Revival architecture in the country.
