Sometimes I dream about what it would be like if I had a chance today to buy a property. What would I live in if I had the choice to pick anything? I guess that would be Villa Savoye.

This is the wee house. They are a set of modular home building blocks like legos. I like this small single studio. I would need a HUGGGGEEEE barn just outside of the frame to fill with my chair collection but I think that I could get down like this... This winter photo reminds me of home too, so I had to post it. Maybe someone will buy me this and me and my sister can both live in modern modular style...Here's the link to Weehouse's website.

The Nakagin Capsule tower is a treasure of 1970's Japanese Metabolist architecture. Their primary idea is to create a city of the future. This city would feature many new ideas such as large building projects, changable and reconfigurable structures that encourage natural, organic growth. This was a movement that coincided with the great growth seen in postwar Japan. This building was designed by Kisho Kurokawa in 1972 near Tokyo's ritzy Ginza district. Each apartment is small [2.3 m (8 ft) × 3.8 m (12 ft) × 2.1 m (7 ft) ] and was intended to house single sallarymen. This building is tragically slated for destruction, as it had been intended to be fitted with new modular components once the old pieces had fallen out of repair. This has not happened and the tennants hope for a new soulless glitzy high rise (as usual). Its so sad when great buildings are torn down for a more profitable venture. So so sad.
