It's been a long time since I have fallen in love with architecture which felt so organic and which inspired furniture to properly fill the spaces. The new eco oriented Shell House in Japan is such a creation. Ero Saarinin and Mes Van Der Rohe were the last, as my own furnishings attest. The goal to have a shelter appear as if it sprung up in the woods like a mushroom, and looks as appropriate in it's surroundings, is a great achievement. And it has happened again. I could move in tomorrow.....just don't know where I'd hang the art!

I love this, but it isn't practical to construct...
Yea, it looks grand/earthy & all..but how green to build + maintain??
I have never read anything that suggests it's not green, have you? Green depends a lot on the mind set and aspirations of each individual builder and client, don't you think?
