Adore: Modern Industrial Home
.
Last night's house in Urban Zone got so many Twitter reactions and wall posts on facebook. I learned a lot from the owners of this house - that you can live in a vast space even if your lot area is just 140 square metres; and that even a triangular shaped junkyard could be transformed in to the land of your dreamhouse; and that solar panels are totally accessible and affordable these days. I adored this house... designed and conceptualized by the owner himself, Mitch Shiver, an industrial designer.
The house has an irregular shape (acute triangle). One side of the house points in this narrow corner. That is the depth/width of the house... for real!
I love how the space opens up like this.
And there's room for a DJ booth under the stairs. It totally packs away and stores under the steps.
I. Love. Shelly's. Kitchen.
Mitch and Shelly's "Happy Couch" from Heima. I dont have a photo of his work table. It was a stainless steel kitchen prep table from a fastfood place that went out of business. Note the coffee table. It's actually a trunk filled with Mitch's audio equipment.
Mitch told me that this solar panel is very affordable. It's big enough to power the exhaust fan in this corner of the house, which in effect cools down the place. (It sucks hot air out).
Another solar panel and louvres that help hot air escape out.
All this in a property that's only 140 square metres! Amazing. Adorable.
