I’ve never been to Beijing, but if I ever happen to go, I know exactly where I’ll be staying. The Opposite House, designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, looks like a complete and utter escape from any form of city life.
Oh and I do love those stools by Gubi!
My last post featured a couple shots from DeForest Architect’s “Art House”. The rest of the home was too good to pass up, so here’s a better view of the rest of the project.
I particularly love the stairs. I also think the vestibule is beautifully done. I even love the choice of stools. I could go on. But I won’t. Here you go:
Oh the details do make a difference in a house! (or so I’m learning).

My university library was a big monolith of concrete that made me yawn from the second I walked in.
