The Time and Space House by Kohki Hiranuma Architect & Associates

Time and space are not ideas... they are social constructs that people impose their illusions of past, present and future situations and events upon. Barbie knows that sometimes illusions are the things people hold on to tightest so why not enjoy a little time and space in a dreamhouse...

The Time and Space House by Kohki Hiranuma Architect & Associates




The time & space house’ is a two-level dwelling in osaka, japan. Approximately 2 meters below the street level, the home ensures privacy while remaining flexible and timeless. High ceilings create a sense of larger than life space. Gaining most of its daylight illumination from a courtyard space & catwalk, the home, constructed from reinforced concrete, remains a flexible and transparent space. 














Would you lose track of time and space in this dreamhouse? 

Barbie would. 
Enjoy!
Kisses!

The Emoji House

Often Barbie thinks people make more of nothing than is there, rather than just enjoy things as they are. Now a dreamhouse is beautiful or fun in the eye of the homeowner... here’s a home for those that dare to mix fun with the dream of owning a home.

The Emoji House

Dreamed up by a graphic/street artist, Z the Art, at the request of the homeowner to reinvent the drab colored home into a “happy house,”  this one of a kind vacation home lends its charming sense of humor to all who inhabit it.












Would you find this home silly?

Barbie would!
Enjoy!

Treewow O - A Tree House of Curved Round Roof by MONOARCHI

Barbie knows that things aren’t always as they seem and that goes for dreamhouses too. Here’s a dreamhouse that captures the spirit of a treehouse while remaining quite different in form.

Treewow O - A Tree House of Curved Round Roof by MONOARCHI




Located  at the foot of the Siming Mountain in Yuyao, China. The tree house is located on the west bank of the lower stream of the river near a village. The mountain peaks provide a pleasant and calming atmosphere. The structure is comprised of three non-concentric circles that rest atop each other and form a irregular fibonacci spiral. Steel trusses support the roof and walls of the curved eave. The inside opens up for the inhabitants to take in the view of the mountain.










Would you love to stay in this dream house?


Barbie would.

Enjoy!

The Window House

Saving money is one of Barbie’s favorite things to do... while looking fabulous and impossibly chic. Here’s a dream house that repurposes and saved the owners a bit of money. 

The Window House




The Window House is a glass cabin that is set in the mountains of West Virginia. The Owners & Architects, photographer Nick Olson and designer Lilah Horwitz, constructed their dream retreat out of discarded windows that they repurposed. It’s a that has a creative exterior comprised of windows of varying size and shapes which provides an artistic flair that showcases both rustic and modern styles while remaining frugal within the couples budget.










Could you envision yourself in such a creative home away from home?

Barbie could!
