Stars, Sunset, Mountain, Skyline

Shut your eyes.

Now imagine you have just told yourself to go to bed. You walk across your perfect polished concrete floors, up your small ladder or stairs, through your little bedroom entry hole, yes entry hole, not door, lay down, and close your eyes, or keep them open because the view is far too perfect to shut them.

I guess this is what the Architects at this house a little bit had in mind. The sleeping retreats, each one of the four has its own unique out look.

The Four eyes house is not only beuatiful to look at, but as an inanimate object stimulates your brain by placing a context on other wise nothing spaces. Yes you can creat a bedroom that is spacious or a bedroom that is warm but these bedrooms, create a different environment all together that engages you visually.

It is just a really great idea.

I am a bit caught up looking at houses this week I am sorry.

More can be read about the Four Eyes House either via, Design Milk, or via the Amazing architect Edward Ogosta’s Site here

The idea is basically that all four bedrooms each have their own outlook, one being the sky and stars at night, one being the skyline of the near city, the 3rd being the mountain scape, and the final and fourth incorporating the horizon intune with the sunset.

Even the surrounding landscape is blended without theatrics or bizarre gardens, or succulents, it is just nice looking dirt, and a nice looking lap pool.

 

Private Minimal Cube

This place is just amazing. Have I said that before on this site? surely not.

it seems as though through the restriction in space and the high density population the amazing current Japanese architects, are become a form of ‘zen master’ of minimal form and clean non clinical warmth.

Shinichi Ogawa and Associates, are responsible for this master piece, and as can be read in this beautiful article at Design-Milk .

Having a tree encompassed by the house (which includes smoked glass no less) is one of those dream boat things that you hope and prey that by some fortune you can install into your house, even if it is only on a window in a door between the garage and the street.

The rest of Shinichi & friends work is equally amazing, but lets not forget the fact that some terribly talented builders and his team with amazing attention to detail have work from the plan to create this building and give us a glimpse of what minimal heaven may look like if we are sent there after reading or watching too much grand designs.

Going to be planting a tree in our living room as soon as Mrs Panda agrees
