coolest...house...ever
how about a list of the artists displayed in the spread?
I love when clients sponsor architecture like this. Looks like quite a build out. Great work Lundberg!
very nice ... =)
Pretty amazing art collection. Some of my favorite artists as well. In response to Steven Mermelstein, heres'a few of the artist I recognized. In his office, the picture with the igloo man in the waves is Thomas Campbell from Santa Cruz. The elephant painting is Andrew Schoultz (SF), In the open photo of the loft living space the big picture of the face is Berry Mcgee (sf), Phil Frost is directly to the right of that, and to the right of that with the animated figure with a pinkish background is Os Gemeos. Great article and cool pad.
How did you get the two containers into the loft?
I came to your website to get more information on the dwelling built on the small Island in Finland and can not find that anywhere?
Thanks for your interest in the December/January Finishing Touch story. It will be online soon!
I would like some info on the guest room bedding - it's fantastic!
Tina, the bedding is actually a tapestry bought from 14 Feet in Healdsburg CA, not sure if they have any more. http://www.14feet.net/wall Jeff
Bravo! Barefoot too. Not bad. Not bad. Can I still buy some RFMD?
