Atoll House - Kendrick Kellogg, Architect

It's been awhile since we visited the wonders of architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, a favorite of mine and pal of James Hubbell.

His name came back up when I recently got an invitation to tour some of his homes and chat with the architect (pictures and goodies coming!) While this beauty, called the Atoll House (La Jolla, CA), isn't on the itinerary, we do have some eye candy.

Stained glass and chandeliers are by James Hubbell.

A Dome House in Thailand

I'm not sure what's more enchanting about Steve Areen's Dome House in Thailand - the house or the story behind it.

1. Mango Farm? I am so there. Yes, please.

2. Dome house? Check, like that's a surprise.

3. Built with less than $9,000? Holy organic architecture, Batman!

4. Results? Gorgeous, when can I move in?

There are tons of pictures over at the website, these were my favorites.

Nymphaeum Omega Fountain - Ernst Fuchs Museaum

Maybe it's just my mood, but there seems to have been a little lull in eye candy and things that make me go "ooohhhhh" in my content streams lately.

Or it might also be that blogging is hard work and my few remaining neurons are focused on other projects ;)

But, hark, there is a bit of pretty to be shared - the Nymphaeum Omega Fountain and Moses Statue at the Ernst Fuchs Museum After much searching, I regret that I can't find any story about how the Pump House for the estate came to be such a glorious creation. Art is like that sometimes. It just is.
