Great house. I especially love the courtyard, kitchen and bath. Well, I really love all of it. Thank you, Dwell, for: the many photos; putting live people in them (and showing the house as lived-in); the great photography; and the lighthearted and well-written captions.
Beautiful home. Who would think that concrete could be so beautiful and comfortable.
I love the house, especially the courtyard, for such a small city lot. I saw that Mr. Blauvelt regrettted that he did not built a library. He can still have a library built on one side of the two story living room blank walls. He can have the bookcases built all the way up to the ceiling on one side and have a tall rolling ladder attached to the bookcases, and leave one wall empty for big paintings or artworks. Overall, the house is like a little jewel!
This is a beautiful home and seems like a perfect fit in any urban setting with a small lot. A great use of light to give the home such an open feeling. Are their detailed floor plans available? daniel 10.09.10
This house is fantastic! This is another one I keep coming back to look at. Thank you for sharing.
does anyone know a source for the Schubert Opera Snow White Poster?
Last time I was in Minneapolis it was colder than my ex-wife's heart. How do these un-insulated concrete walls hold up in sub-zero temperatures or do these two just pay exorbitant utility bills?
