I have Wood envy...
I have a wood HARD-ON
I have a wood overdose, or perhaps a wood migraine, or maybe its just a wood hangover...
I have age envy.
they're as the same age as me... inspiring, bravo!
Im an upstart Filipino Architect and I love what they produce @ the Latin American continent, w/ the cultural similarities, etc...
I remember this quote when I saw this -
"you would'nt buy a pinapple from the outside would you?" - Glenn Murcutt.
They have talent.
After seeing the age of these guys pointed out, I feel I should take back my comments -- i.e. my wood 'ailments' aren't so bad...
lovely bit of inspiration from two very talented individuals - god is in the knotty pine
It's concision,but the exertion of color and material is appropiate~~
its lovely!
Very nice concept from the exterior and the interior "space". But when you open the door, WOW, what a monotonous use of wood. I was anxious to see what the interior would be like but was disappointed when actually seeing it. It could have been so much more.
