Villa Stein-de-Monzie was built between 1926-28 for Michael Stein, brother of author Gertrude Stein, and his wife, Sarah. The multi-family dwelling also included space for their family friend, Gabrielle de Monzie, who shared the couples desire to live in a communal space. #dwell #lecorbusier #paris #realestate #fmodernhomesorsaleThe Shed is a nonprofit cultural organization that commissions, develops, and presents original works of art, across all disciplines, for all audiences. For their Bloomberg Building in Manhattan, Diller Scofidio + Renfro created a structure that can flex to the needs of the occupants. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitectureThe exterior also reflects the geometries of the nearby Washington Monument, specifically the 17-degree angle of the capstone. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitectureStructural fins support open-air terraces and walkways, blurring the threshold between inside and out throughout the structure. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitectureThe towers stand 80 and 112 meters high. In addition to regular monitoring, once a year, a crew of arborists/climbers dubbed the "Flying Gardeners" descend from the roof of the buildings to assess plant health. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitectureThe innovative skyscraper, which is 82 stories tall, features an undulating shape designed to capture views of Chicago landmarks. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitectureThe contemporary homes gabled roofline and timber materials are a nod to the traditional alpine vernacular. #dwell #moderncabins #moderndesign #italy #alps #modernarchitectureThe result is a series of birdhouse-shaped log houses that jut perilously over slopes and a collection of guest rooms that are stand-alone cubes supported by huge steel rods drilled into the rock, each with one or two glass walls that offer eye popping views of glacial mountains. #dwell #designbooks #villianhideouts #modernarchitectureArguably the most wildly original setting in the glorious pantheon of celluloid villains’ lairs, Blofeld’s jaw-dropping hideout deep in the hollowed-out core of an extinct Japanese volcano was instantly iconic. Its allure is such that it later became a loving target of Mike Myers’ 1997 spy film parody, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, as well as the model for Syndrome’s lair in 2004’s The Incredibles. #dwell #designbooks #villianhideouts #modernarchitectureMany tiny home dwellers develop eco-friendly habits when they downsize—like adopting a capsule wardrobe, carpooling more, and harvesting rainwater. #dwell #tinyhomes #greenhomedesign #sustainableMad tech mogul Nathan Bateman’s home has gorgeous, expansive views of a lake and mountains, but an underabundance of trees, considering the film’s Alaskan setting. Tall trees were imported and placed on twenty meter-high stilts to create an Alaskan vibe. #dwell #designbooks #villianhideouts #modernarchitectureVillain Arjen Rudd’s modern, canyon-top lair was an integral part of the Lethal Weapon 2 screenplay from the very beginning. Its role only grew larger as the more downbeat first draft of Shane Black’s script (Gibson’s Riggs was originally fated to die at the end) was revised by Black’s successor, Jeffrey Boam. #dwell #designbooks #villianhideouts #modernarchitectureApproached from the driveway, the home is accessed along a stone path that turns into a series of wide, wooden steps. The homes angular roofline is a dramatic form against the natural backdrop, but the wood cladding connects it to the site. #dwell #marthasvineyard #modernbeachhouses
Copenhill uses Copenhagen’s trash to produce electricity and radiant heating. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitectureAravena’s incremental housing designs empower residents to build at their own pace. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitectureThe award-winning National Museum of African American History and Culture was designed by Adjaye Associates in partnership with the Freelon Group, Davis Brody Bond, and SmithGroupJJR. Exhibition design was by Ralph Applebaum Associates. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitecture"We imagined a man-made ‘cliff’, positioning its structure along the busy motorway, to be visible to passing traffic and to register in the public mind," says Grafton Architects, who collaborated with Lima’s Shell Arquitectos on the project. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitectureBosco Verticale, or Vertical Forest, houses 800 trees in addition to its human residents. Pronounced balconies make space for large tubs in which the vegetation is planted, and the staggered nature of the balconies allows unhindered growth. The firm undertook a three-year planning process with a team of botanists and ethologists to choose the plant species. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitectureThe Neues Museum in Berlin was resurrected over an 11-year period. The architects’ approach was to contrast contemporary repairs with restored original features, making for a dynamic mix of old and new. #dwell #moderndesign #modernarchitectureThe black, steel-framed residence has a Western red cedar skin brought in from Canada, chosen for its ability to withstand tumultuous environments. #dwell #newzealand #modernbeachhousesOstensibly built into the side of Mount Rushmore, it’s hard to imagine a cooler, more creative villain’s lair than the jewel-box modernist home in which Phillip Vandamm plots and schemes in North by Northwest. Why there? #dwell #designbooks #villianhideouts #modernarchitectureThe home’s private areas hover above the common spaces. #dwell #moderncalifornianhomesIn West Vancouver, Architecture Building Culture creates an inviting residence that makes the most of a tricky, triangular site. #dwell #westvancouver #moderndesignA filthy-rich supervillain like Stavro Blofeld has no shortage of scenic locations where he can hide out and plot the next step in his devious will-to power plan for world domination. #dwell #designbooks #villianhideouts #modernarchitectureXavier Corberó built what feels like the world’s biggest kaleidoscope. At the epicenter of the sculptor’s Catalan estate, a six-story structure rises like a contemporary Tower of Pisa. The interior of the tower is a hollow atrium; here, plants dangle and light spangles through arched windows, shining a surreal light show into a cathedral of modernism. #dwell #kinfolk #normarchitects #modernarchitecture
