Lines, lines, lines! Eric Rasmussen’s home in Sag Harbor as designed by Paul Masi. Skatelite, a pressed paper-and-resin material made for skateboard parks, covers the floor and counters.

Love the use of materials and line for the exterior. Plus all that natural light that filters in! I prefer a warmer/cozier interior though.
This house is located on the edge of an escarpment in Kew within a significant landscape environment. The house provides substantial views overlooking the Yarra river and Studley park golf course and the primary living zone is provided on one level suspended above what was previously an existing Tennis court. The project received an RAIA residential Architecture award in 2004.

The Talieisn Mod.Fabis an example of simple, elegant, and sustainable living in the desert. The one-bedroom, 600-square-foot prototype residence relies on panelized construction to allow for speed and economy on site or in a factory. It can be connected to utilities or be “unplugged,” relying on low-consumption fixtures, rainwater harvesting, greywater re-use, natural ventilation, solar orientation, and photovoltaics to reduce energy and water use. The structure is dimensioned and engineered to be transportable via roadway.
The Taliesin Mod.Fab was designed and built by graduate and undergraduate students at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture with the faculty guidance of Michael P. Johnson, project manager Christian Butler, recent M.Arch graduate, and assistant project manager Nick Mancusi, current BAS student.
