Gurunsi Earth Houses of Burkina Faso

by Jessica Posted on February 17, 2013

I would like to paint the outside of my house like this, though I suspect I might not get away with it.

I find these images inspiring and insightful – they make me think about the need for expression and personalisation of the home no matter the environment or the presumed economic status of those that live there.

Show us some of your own attempts at expression and personalisation of your home by commenting below.

Biblio-Mat: Random Book Dispenser

by Jessica Posted on November 24, 2012

What a lovely idea…the world is a fine place.

“the volumes distributed by the vending machine all cost two canadian dollars regardless of their size or subject. the ‘biblio-mat’ vibrates and whirrs upon a purchase, setting the contraption in motion. to add to the fun and surprise of it all, the ring of an old telephone is prompted as the customer’s mystery title is released into the receptacle with a satisfying clunk.”

Built by Craig Small for Monkey’s Paw, an antiquarian bookshop in Toronto.

oh, Ilse.

by Jessica Posted on November 7, 2012

Dinder House by Studio Ilse.

Ilse Crawford never fails to impress. I find images of her work always catch my eye and resemble an exhale. Her work is always quiet, confident, and pleasantly unexpected.

I particularly like this home because it allows those living there now to do so comfortably but without leaving too much of an impression on the structure of the house. The house was there long before they were and will remain for long after, so its only right…

Those floors! Just lovely.
