Turning Japanese: Modern Japanese Architecture

Barbie loves a dream house that's exotic with a great deal of use and purpose while remaining quite luxurious. There's not one need for Fame, Attention or 15 minutes of bragging in this dolls ideal home. She knows that keeping her Ken happy requires simply making a home that they can share without adding any demands or pressures of the outside world upon her favorite guy. The simple solution to this dolls dream house is Modern Japanese Architecture.


Turning Japanese: Modern Japanese Architecture

“Dancing trees, Singing birds" is the translated name of this Japanese dreamhouse located in Tokyo, Japan. Designed by Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP co., the structure has been fitted around tree trunks and branches, immersing its residents in the forest in order to raise their awareness of environmental issues.









Would you live in this Modern Japanese Home? 

Barbie would!
Enjoy!
Kisses, m.

Vincent Kartheiser's The Tiny Hollywood Home: A 580 Sq ft Cabin Loft

Barbie loves tiny spaces and she knows that there are a lot of environmentally conscious people that love tiny spaces too... One of her favorite actors Vincenet Kartheiser enjoys a great small space too! Barbie wonders if Vincent and his fiancĂ©e would appreciate The 10x10 Microhomes as much as she does. Nevertheless have a look around Vincent's tiny studio...

The Tiny Hollywood Home - A 580 Sq ft Cabin Loft

The space that Vincent Kartheiser calls home is astoundingly only a mere 580 sq ft and nestled within the Hollywood Hills. It's hard to believe such a gem of luxury could be among a celebs choice for home, but why not? Everyone deserves to get what they want and live the way they want.

Vincent partnered with designer Funn Roberts in 2010 to create a unique space that essentially carves a solid living area into a variety of rooms. The Japanese-industrial style home is based upon the design principles of form, function, utility and simplicity. You can find yourself showering in the living room and essentially sitting for coffee where your bed will be later. The home is fitted with a Murphy Bed that drops down and offsets a desk. The space has more room for living during the day and a velvet red curtain separates the bedroom for privacy and night. Japanese inspired metal screens and light boxes are additional touches for illumination.

The space is sustainable, utility and absolutely chic. Barbie can only hope that her Ken would choose such a beautiful bachelor pad as Vincent has.
