On the topic of concrete...this concrete home is located on the property of design/builder Dave Sellers once of the Jersey Devils. The house is fully poured concrete; all molds were built one of a kind and on-site for pouring. No wolf could possible blow this house down.
What I love about this house is the constant discovery of details. Most homes are predictable, bland, and lack imagination. This house feels built on curiosity. The layout rambles through multilevels of concrete, industrial misfits, peaking windows, hidden doorways, experimentation of shape, overlapping levels, and juxtaposition of raw materials.
This hideaway bed slides out from underneath the kitchen and is ready to use. Obama likes it.
This house is also called the Archie Bunker because, even though it sits on a public golf course, Sellers designed the house to have its own small golf course. It has two holes to hit back and forth to.
I'm a slightly nomadic New Englander with a grounding in sustainability, design process. personal health, and puns. I am an idea generator interested in creating healthy sustainable experiences.
I love looking at something and determining how I can make it. A recent summer internship at a design/build in Vermont gave me the opportunity to experiment in fine woodworking, carpentry, stained glass, concrete forms, and furniture making. I want to know how everything is made.
I am currently studying Sustainable Business at Bainbridge Graduate Institute.
