Among the grass and trees of this five-acre property, this wonderful wood clad house features an unusual floor plan with a hollow center, “as if the heart of the house had somehow fallen outside its body,” according to OBRA Architects. But that’s not to say this country home doesn’t have heart! A linear layout of living spaces leads you from one part of the home to the next, creating a sense of whole throughout the separate spaces. Adding interest to minimalist interiors, constantly shifting vanishing points create large openings in the roof for centrifugal views of the surrounding country. Inside, this unusual home’s shape creates atypical angles and architectural features that add an element of surprise around every corner. A minimalist loft area overlooks the main floor, further enhancing the already-striking sense of light and space. Beyond its unique architectural design, this eco house design also incorporates a number of sustainable technologies like geothermal heating, passive ventilation and natural lighting. OBRA Architects

This gorgeous underground house design by Deca Architecture is built right into the idyllic landscape of the Cycladic Islands in Greece. The hill house was designed to withstand the windy climate off the Aegean Sea. It was carved into the earth with just the second storey visible above ground. Clad in stone, the house really gets down to earth with natural materials and a warm, homey aesthetic that’s still modern. This natural house design features spacious outdoor entertaining areas divided from the indoors by expansive sliding-glass doors. An infinity-edge lap pool outside frames panoramic views and seems to spill out into the sea. Deca Architecture

The aptly named Be-Green Houses prove it really is easy being Green, and it can be done in total comfort and style. This pair of contemporary house plans incorporates all the essentials into a colorful, bright design. Some spaces, such as the laundry and terrace, are designed as shared spaces, while others are conventional by all accounts – apart from their amazing eco-friendly appeal. These eco house designs incorporate passive solar technologies, and use natural and recycled materials such as the hardwood flooring with VOC-free finishes. Photovoltaic roof panels and a thermal hot water system allow these sustainable houses to function off the grid, while the green roof and a living wall do their part keep the environment while adding an organic ambience to the urban houses. And because learning is the key to enlightenment and, in the long run, change, this home features a monitoring system that tells residents exactly how much energy they’re using and when, allowing them to adjust their consumption.

The move toward sustainable architectural design sets the tone for this project among the trees; a wood clad house that is "green" in more ways than one. A square-shaped volume covered in black-stained wood and large expanses of glass leads you through the home's interior while maintaining constant contact with the forest. From every point in the house, views of surrounding nature dominate. At the heart of this courtyard home plan, an open space blurs the boundary between indoors and out, letting nature permeate every inch. Main-floor living spaces and upper-level bedrooms provide a distinction between public and private spaces. Grosfeld van der Velde Architecten.

The prominent rough red roof of this Arizona house draws attention from miles around, but it is the home’s livable, relaxing characteristics that invite you to stay. The steel house's humble exterior makes way for modern interiors, with stainless steel, maple and glass against a white palette. At the heart of the design, the courtyard brings fresh greenery to the hillside home’s minimalist interiors. Built into the sloping property and partially below the ground level, this hill house plan puts outdoor living rooms privately out of view. An infinity pool points toward a west-facing view and the mountain range beyond the desert. Rick Joy

RADIAL STACKED SERIES
it's always interesting to see where work leads.  more than one great artist has stated that work begets work, that by continually addressing problems and pursuing solutions in the studio, by this ongoing conversation with materials and ideas, we are led to places that otherwise we may have never considered.
such is the case with this most recent and evolving body of work, which has presented itself as a synthesis of two very independent antecedents, the flat stacks and the open series.  although these series arose and continued in parallel for some time, existing as independent entities, their unique characteristics have been fused into a new lineage and a new vernacular.  the diaphanous nature of the open series and the density of the flat stacks have found a way to coexist, merging from one state to the other.
the horizontal stacks have turned vertical, forming a dense central core, which in turn yields its mass by stretching outward and away from this cluster.  thus it transitions from solid to open, and in a way, so have i.

RADIAL STACK (untitled)

 the first of this new series to explore the ideas enumerated above, this lamp consists of 6 tubes arranged into a cylinder, whose lower segment expands outward into a sort of squished sphere, an ovoid of sorts.  the axis point at which the lines (or in this case the neon tubes) would have intersected has been rendered in yellow, to note this trait.
38" x 24" x 24"

SPLIT STACK


this lamp focuses on the conflicting nature of the three dimensional cylinder and its transition into a two dimensional plane.  the further its arms extend outward from the center, the more accentuated this dichotomy becomes.
as to the name, it is a twofold reference to its split personality vacillating between flatness and three dimensionality, as well as relating to its form, which traces the separation of a single line into two, and then the subsequent cleaving of those branches.
 46" x 42" x 42"

FLAT STACKED SERIES
both hanging and free standing, these neon lamps are made by stacking individual hand bent neon components atop each other. in building a structure in this manner, through individual layers and cross sections, i am able to explore and produce illuminated forms, both simple and complex.

LAMP SHADE LAMP

although i have retained the traditional contours of a lamp shade, i have reversed its function.  whereas previously its illumination would have been dependent upon an interior light source, its present form sheds that need.  light is dispersed not from its interior, but from its exterior.  the contours of the lamp shade are responsible for producing light, rather than concealing it.  there is longer a need for an interior bulb.  the bulb is the shape.  the shape is the light.
11" x 22" x 22"

SCRAP STACK
as its name implies, this stacked lamp was built using the "cut-offs" or "scraps" generated from the production of other works.  these small pieces, varied in color, were redesigned to form a lamp with a unity and coherent profile.  however, this regular form contains within its shape an orgy of color relationships stretching both laterally and vertically.  each side is a display of myriad combinations of color, which when taken as a whole, produce a wonderfully warm glow. this lamp builds upon the ideas inherent in the color stack, all the while adding a greater degree of complexity to the interaction of color layers.

OPEN SERIES
these table lamps, and hanging lamps, are complimentary to the above stacked series- whereas they are solid and built upon the idea of cross-sections, these are constructed with only their contours delineated, leaving an open interior.

TWELVE PIECE




SLANT LAMP

the largest and most recent of the "open series," the asymmetrical character of this lamp foments a certain unease and tension.  viewed from various angles, from some it appears ready to topple, while from others its stability is not in question.  it is in a perpetual state of both balance and imbalance, and although it is at odds with itself, it remains merrily content to reconcile this dichotomy.

VARIOUS EARLY WORKS:


this floor lamp was constructed from four plastic bar style lamp shades that i stacked atop each other, and placed different colored neon tubes inside the interior column to illuminate it.





also an early project, this table lamp is a single fluorescent tube held vertical inside a steel outer frame with stacked pieces of cut plate glass lining the inside.


this floor lamp was a gift for my dad.  the lamp is a brake light from a 1984 yamaha maxim x motorcycle, grafted onto the base of an old torcherie lamp.  it is wired with a 12 volt dc transformer to match the original motorcycle voltage.




although it's not yet fully completed, the top of this floor lamp will be fully covered in pegs.  it consists of a lite brite sitting inside a white garbage can.  the colorful top contrasts nicely with the glow of the white plastic can.




a set of three of hanging lamps, they are made from LED' s enclosed in a crumpled sheet of paper.



a blue table lamp, this one was made by freezing a set of LED's in a crushed milk carton filled with water.
it has since melted...


this lamp was made by inserting a blue LED inside a crushed half and half carton.  it gave off a nice even glow from within.




formed by freezing a yellow LED in the bottom of a plastic coke bottle filled with milk, this lamp gave off an eerie glow.  it is great for parties if you live in the artic, or a smirnoff ice commerical.  otherwise, it's not so pretty when the milk thaws...



a test piece, rather than using a transformer power supply to run an LED, i set up these two on a 9v power supply.  they make great night lights or to look in tight spaces where you need a flexible way to aim and manipulate the position of the light.

What started in 2005 as a hobby with a hand-drawn Christmas card sent out to friends and family members has proved too fun to not do as an enterprise.  Based in Minneapolis MN, D*P*S consistently proves to be a trendsetting design studio publishing the absolutely coolest blank greeting cards.

We begin with the always fun and innovative artwork of graphic designer David Paul Seymour and add that to top quality heavyweight Cougar stock and locally made artisan envelopes and top that off with earthfriendly biodegradable packaging for a premium card at an affordable price.

Greeting Cards sans the sentiment of paid writers.  Graphics that scream to be displayed. Frameable little pieces of art.  One Hell of a Birthday Card, or Party Invitation, or Thank You Note, or...(whatever you want it to be.) Your mind's not blank, and that's why our cards are!

(Bethel, CT, November 2009)  Spark Modern Fires, award winning manufacturer of modern, clean, and elegant gas fireplaces announces a totally new direct vent “slim” fireplace designed to hang on the wall.  With a viewing area of 46” X 12”, this striking new fireplace provides substantial visual impact; while its depth of only 8” presents an exceptionally lean profile.  Called the Direct Vent Slim 46”, this new fireplace saves space as well as time and cost of installation. Just vent through an outside wall or the roof, hang it—and enjoy. SPARK’s signature Fire Ribbon look has never been easier.

The Direct Vent Slim 46” is the perfect width for those looking for something between SPARK’s three foot and six foot wide direct vent fireplaces.  And as a hanging unit, it does not require extensive cut outs or framing.  In addition to its attractive size, this innovative fireplace features a porcelain enamel interior to reflect and enhance the beauty of the flame, as well as sleek surrounds in stainless steel or black satin.  Also included is a fully programmable, thermostatic remote to allow lighting and control from anywhere in the room.

The Direct Vent Slim 46” offers designers and consumers unprecedented options to locate a fireplace where one could not go before; and to add the warmth and beauty of “firescape art” to almost any room.  More information on the Direct Vent Slim 46” as well as other Spark Modern Fires products can be found in SPARK’s newly printed catalog, at www.sparkfires.com, or call 866-938-3846.

About Spark Modern Fires

Spark Modern Fires was co-founded in 2005 by Tom Healy, a former custom home builder who for two decades successfully built custom homes in VA and Washington, D.C.  As a custom builder, Tom found that commercially available fireplaces most often did not match the distinct décor required by the designs of the homes he was building.  As a result Tom was forced to fabricate special parts for each fireplace; a process that was costly and time consuming.  Seeing a need in the market, Tom set out in 2003 to develop a product line and a company that made it easier for designers and builders to use a gas fireplace as a design element in custom and unique environments.  In 2005 Spark Modern Fires introduced its first Fire Ribbons which were shipped in early 2006.  The market enthusiastically accepted the new products, with many being installed in high end locations such as the Ritz Carlton, Mandarin Hotels, and “W” Hotels.  The new products were so well received that in 2007 and 2008 Spark Modern Fires was nominated to participate in the prestigious Interior Design Award for Best Architectural Product of the Year, winning the award in 2007 for the Fire Ribbon and finishing among the top four in 2008 for The Linear Burner.  More information on Spark Modern Fires can be found at www.sparkfires.com or call 866-938-3846.
