Questions about whether design is necessary or affordable are quite beside the point: design is inevitable. The alternative to good design is bad design, not no design at all. ∼Douglas Martin
I really enjoy contemporary architecture and this little getaway is pretty sweet.
This home happens to be a residence designed by architect Paul McKean. Check out his other stuff over at his personal site. You can also check out more shots, and a nice writeup, over at CONTEMPORIST.
Design is pragmatic, problem solving you might say. Well, this design by Oooms solves a very important problem…hungry birds.
There’s a solar panel on top of the bird house that provides power to a small battery that then powers the illuminating perch. The perch then attracts nice little midnight snacks.
Don’t be dismayed by the lack of content. I’ve made the smart decision of transferring my domains and hosting to (MT) Media Temple and figured it was as good a time as any to update my site.
I’ve chosen WordPress as the platform as having a blog engine provide my back-end support gives me what I need at the moment. I’m also in the process of updating the design. So jump over and grab an RSS feed so you’ll know when things get updated. I’m planning on having some really good stuff posted real soon.
Cheers,
Darin
