Greener Pasture
Like a little chapel on the prairie, architect Jean-Baptiste Barache’s simply elegant retreat in the tiny Normandy town of Auvillier is a modern play on centuries-old forms and technology.
This is very cool but why have I seen the new Dwell at the airport newsstand before I get it at home? What's the advantage of subscribing?
Where did you get those ceiling lights in image #3? They're beautiful. Never seen them before.
One benefit to a subscription is that often the subscriber's rate is offered at a discount. Dwell's cover price is $6 in the store. On the site it looks like you can get 10 issues for $20.
MG, those ceiling lights were custom designed by Urban Lab, http://www.urbanlab.com, the firm that designed the house. I agree: They're beautiful!
Love the circuit board lights as well! Would anyone happen to know the Brand/Model of the shower head and arm? I just happen to be shopping for a new one right now and like the look of it.
The shower head is by Kohler.
Thanks for the tip on the showerhead. It seems very similar to this one (although maybe not identical): http://www.us.kohler.com/onlinecatalog/detail.jsp?from=thumb&frm=null&module=Showerheads&item=9660802&prod_num=14418§ion=2&category=12&resultPage=0--331009437
Any more info on the sliding door tracks?
I like the corrugated-aluminum used on the exterior. We have an off-the-grid home where the perimeter walls are straw bale covered with stucco. The colour coat of the stucco is peeling off in many places on the south-facing wall. Patching and matching colour coats is near impossible. Can anyone tell me if we could "encase" our straw house with corrugated-aluminum; this looks so clean and simple.
What a clever coffee table (pic 13) where the legs double as magazine racks!
Clicking thru the images, by around no. 20 I was thinking, Hey, no Rent-a-Mutt (this time). Then I came to pic 22!! But was relieved to read 'THEIR dog'. ;o) Love this place, all the sliding doors, and the perforated corrugated iron is stunning. How is that done?
I loved the kitchen's ceiling Fluorescent lights! I am going through excruciating pain dealing with California's Title 24 in my kitchen! That kitchen was genius for the inspector! Please cover more Title 24 solutions (good looking, feeling and not so expensive), my lighting store is just getting used to having Title 24 consultant on hand as it is the Future and since CA is the early adaptor...it's going to be something everything will have to consider~ being green.
I can't find that sofa on the ligne roset site. Is it out of production? Anyone know what its name is?
Per the resident, and our uber-helpful Assistant Managing Editor, Fida: It's the Sake Sofa by Pascal Mourgue for Ligne Roset. Apparently they bought it in 2007 at the Chicago Ligne Roset, but they were told at the time that theirs was among the last orders Ligne Roset was taking for that particular piece.
The advantage is the reduce cost per issue, and it has your name on it in case a friend our neighbor tries to steal your copy. ;-) I get my issue before I see them hit the shelf at my local mag stand.
I'm online reading this month's issue because I haven't received mine in the mail yet, either. Anticlimactic when it finally does arrive. I hope it's before November...
What is the green kitchen counter top made of? Where can I get one.
Could you provide some more information about the sliding door track and door hardware. Thank you in advance.
Are the stick-like wall hooks available in retail-land anywhere? I know I could attempt to make them myself, but...y'know..... Many thanks
To answer some of your questions- The countertop is stainless steel and is fabricated by Elkay, the sliding door hardware is from Hafele, and the stick wall hooks were made by Timber, and can be found here: http://livewirefarm.com/t_hooks_1.html Thanks to the homeowner Diane for her input!
Does anyone know how much was spent on this?
i live in Hennepin....actually my whole life and love it....you know we try to keep it a secret....
The idea that people building a second home are worried about the ecological footprint is ridiculous. Furthermore, just 1600 square feet is the barely less than the average american home.
Just wanted to say how much I absolutely love, and have drooled over this couch and chair ( sake by ligne roset ) I am devastated that we are not able to purchase any longer, and would like to see them bring it back into circulation. For now I have the magazine article, and I guess I had better laminate it... ( drooling, lol...)
LOVE the lights, but if the design company did the whole house, is there no way to find out how to reproduce the lights without getting the whole house done? I was in nyc this last week, and went to myleno or something at gramercy park hotel and they've got the same thing going....great work.....any chance i can do it in my home? help? thank you!!!
The corrugated cladding is generally screwed into battens so it is a matter of fixing battens to the straw wall securely, not sure if this can be done. Also running this cladding on a horizontal looks smart.
I am interested in more information re: perforated material used in bathroom. bedroom, etc. Thank you.
The perforated shutters are fabricated from flat aluminum that was perforated then corrugated to fit the window openings.
I'm interested in the shower walls. Is that tile or some other product? If it's tile, who's is it? Thanks.
Is this by any chance a container home?
