So, what’s new in architecture around here? Environmentally
sustainable round houses, floating box houses, new houses that look like their
old neighbors — that’s what. In the newest Home Design, we profile three
architects who — whether their designs are contemporary, modern, or
contextual — are adding creative, striking, and friendly homes to our area.
Their creations are one-of-a-kind, but every one draws on regional inspiration:
our modernist heritage, our environment and climate, our beautiful old homes
and neighborhoods.
When the
empty corners of your home need filling, you can go to the mega stores, or you
can choose from innovative and beautiful furniture being handmade right around
town. And kids can take an interest in home design, too, especially when the
design is a town of treetop playhouses. Peek and see: Clever people all around
us are thinking up fresh places for us live, rest, and play.
