Ravine Guest House by Shim-Sutcliffe Architects

Located in a ravine near Toronto, this house blurs the lines between inside and outside. The full wrap around clerestory is amazing. I love everything about this house.

Did you see today’s Google Doodle celebrating Mies van der Rohe?

Google isn’t the only one celebrating the master architect — on his birthday, we republished photographs from a 1957 photo essay titled “Emergence of a Master Architect.” The feature that ran in the March 1, 1957 issue of LIFE, at the same time that the architect’s signature achievement — the 38-story Seagram Building on Park Avenue in New York — was nearing completion.

See the photos here.

“Construction challenges included digging two seven-foot-wide holes 35 feet into bedrock and filling them with concrete and steel to support the cantilevered sections of the five-level, 6,900-square-foot house.”

Industrial Strength House in Pittsburgh, PA.

I love just about everything about this house, although its kinda large.  If I didn’t grow up in Pittsburgh, I could probably be happy living there. Please click through and check out the slide-show.

When I see stuff like this, it makes me want to build another structure.  I have a tree house in the works, a porch, and an outbuilding.
