House

I skipped watching this when I did my 1986 movie marathon (it didn’t even make the list of 40 movies I watched for that), and I can’t even remember if I ever watched it even back in the day — what I do remember is the VHS box at rental shops. In a piece I read recently on Halloween H2o and its director Steve Miner, there was some mention of other films that Miner had directed, which included House (and also a couple of Friday the 13th films), and so I decided to watch it. This is definitely more of a comedy, using horror as the setting, while never being horrific. It was fun seeing something starring William Katt (The Greatest American Hero), and overall I didn’t dislike my time with this, enough that I’ll probably watch House II as well.

Plathome

platform-house-9

A bit of an old post on Spoon & Tamago that I just came across, it’s about a home with the punny name of “Plathome” because, well, it looks like a train platform — yes, that’s a real train wagon (no longer in use) next to it. Pretty fun idea for a house design.

A Mathematician’s House

Another fine Japanese home — yes, yet another — to gently drool over, this time “A Mathematician’s House” (named after the owner, maybe) in Hiroshima. It was designed by Tetsuya Nakazono. Via Dezain.net.

House H

Even more than today’s HG House — yes, I know it’s confusing — I really dig Sou Fujimoto’s House H, especially the interior — it has an M.C. Escher meets Muji feel to it. Photographer Iwan Baan has a gallery of 40+ photos from the house. Via Designboom.

HG House

Is it just me or does pretty much every architectural project that appears on Designboom and Dezeen — especially homes — come from Japan? Here’s another one, this time the HG House by Atelier Tekuto, which fulfills the client’s request of “living in the garage.”
