Organic Architecture in India

I'm not sure I would live in this farmhouse near Mumbai, India, it seems more like an interesting place to stay as a rental. The designer, i.STUDIO, created an interesting mix of brick and rough stone that works on the exterior but less so for the interior.

I think that's what makes it feel like not a place to live for me, but a place to visit temporarily. I wonder how much of that is cultural upbringing?

Do the interior brick walls make it feel like "home" to you?

Stunning 3D Environments by JeeYoung Lee

Jeez, 3 weeks since my last post. I suck. I promise to try and post more frequently in 2014!

Today we shall explore the deeply cool creative environment building of artist JeeYoung Lee. I thought these were digital designs at first but they aren't. The artist actually creates these environments in his studio and then photographs them.

Somebody should create an exhibition space for him where people can walk in and experience these. Each room a different environment complete with lighting and sound effects. I'd go see that.
