Here are a few pictures from our walk this morning.

Yeah, they went 60’ deep.
Wish I still had it.
did they move the house off the lot to dig the hole than move it back or is it a different lot?
I sure as hell hope it doesn't snow much there!Quote:

I like that... especially the juxtoposition of new and old style (i.e. - the barn cellar to right with woodpile).Quote:

Always loved these. I have a bunch of sketches for 24 and 32 feet cube houses and some day I will build one. I'm sure mine won't leak!
is that the new office you were building on your property?Quote:

B-bear, check out the movie " Columbus" for rent on i-tunes. The story takes awhile to get interesting, but it's a fictional story about an architects son and his dying dad, and shot in amazing buildings in one small Midwestern town. Maybe acinpdx might like it too, but I don't think anyone/everyone here will. A unique mesh of place with story, at the least.
No, just an image I came acrossQuote:

Maison à Bordeaux, I always loved this house. Koolhaas often collaborates with an engineer named Cecil Balmond. Balmond wrote a fantastic little book called "Informal" where he talks about the design process. There's a whole section devoted to this house. If you like that sort of thing you should pick up a copy.
I missed visiting Habitat 67 while I was in Montreal.
Love unique buildings.

Couple buildings in Manhattan I enjoy passing by.
Both by Frank Gehry.

Another favorite of mine, the Sobek House. Werner Sobek is a pretty impressive Architect/Engineer. He built his house in Stuttgart to be incredibly energy efficient. It was also designed such that it could be easily disassembled and removed from the site sometime in the future in a way that would have minimal impact on the environment.

Sobek's specialty is glass facades, among other things. He used triple pained windows for the envelope that provide a K value of 0.4 . The big problem was that the house doesn't have any thermal mass. To solve the problem, the floor system involves a modular panel which, if I remember correctly, is full of water. This provides the thermal mass required to take up solar gain during the day and radiate heat off at night. Effectively, it's a radiant floor system...Quote:

Even with a moderate thermal conductivity, I'd be surprised if there aren't substantial temperature swings due to solar gain, unless there is an active system to move excess heat quickly into the water mass. Or other form of solar gain control system. Coated glass?Quote:
