Make Believe House

posted by on January 16 at 14:07 PM

Today, Steven Holl finally seduced me! I have never really had an ideal for a living space until I saw his new design for T-Husene (T-Houses) in Copenhagen.

Why here and nowhere else? It’s not exactly the design, nor the fact that my middle name is Tonderai, but because T-Husene was “inspired by twilight and the Scandinavian sky.”

The T-shaped buildings maximize high quality residential floor space with views to the horizon and sunset. Building downwards from the maximum height level, taking into consideration maximum view, each tower will contain 50 apartments in 22 different configurations ranging from 73 sq.m. to 135 sq.m.

A living space inspired by Scandinavian sky and twilight is the only living space for me. The first thing I will do when I move into that ideal in the twilight is hang this nice painting in the crepuscular living room:

Nothing like contrasting Scandanavian twilight with Asian titties.

I've seen that "z" shaped landscape before. Wait . . . it's the Olympic Scuplture Park. That's what the OSP will look like in 5 years when they build museum-grade condos on it for the next capital/commerical enterprise boom in Seattle that (according to the NYTimes) is the only reason a baby city like ours even has art.

Is that North Korea's new torpedo design?

Nice photo at bottom, Charles. Did you do that?

I'm uncertain - is the painting what the guy is holding, or is the guy (and flying giant oven mitt) also part of the painting?

Looks more like it was lifted straight out of Second Life.

Blech!

Gonna be kinda shady right under those overhangs..

Maybe they're planning for vampires to live in those sections.
