Unique Homes

I love all the cute treehouses and would love to see one in person but in reality it’s bad enough that my bedroom here is upstairs..20 steps, I’ve counted them.

Going up is bad but going down is scarier..the bottom is travertine. One bad fall and that will be it!.

I've always loved travertine....for walls. Be careful.

The Heliodome, a bioclimatic solar house in Cosswiller, eastern France, on August 4, 2011. The house is designed as a giant three-dimensional sundial, set on a fixed angle in relationship to the sun's movements.

In May of 2019 I had the opportunity to visit this house in the hills above Malibu. It is made from and includes the wings and other components of a decommissioned 747 during a very special garden tour centered around Los Angeles. The location was as special as the house and more special than the garden but no complains here.

The house was in a couple of sections.

Looking out a window from the upper part of house down past the lower section. The man in the hat was the architect and lived in an equally special adjacent property with a much more fabulous garden.

These are from the property of the architect who built the 747 airliner house. It had belonged to an old time movie maker in Hollywood. When they finished with sets used in a movie, if he liked it, he’d have it hauled up the mountain and assembled here. I don’t think I took any photos of his actual house. What he wanted to share was all the systems he’d designed to capture and reuse water. Naturally these sets in this setting is what drew our cameras.
