Heather LEGOgirl built this incredibly detailed LEGO dollhouse. Check out the lego person standing in front of the door to give you an idea of the scale. I can't even imagine how much time it to took to design all of this, let alone build it. Kudos Heather LEGOgirl, brick on!
Yes, I have been offline for awhile, but I cried when I saw Altera's post from June on the availability of Kaleidoscope sets on eBay again. It seemed like all of the Jasper Morrison white sofas were gone, but low and behold one popped back up and now I finally have my Bozart Kaleidoscope White Living Room. THANK YOU ALTERA!!!! I've been trying to win this set since the month I started this blog, but had given up recently. Happy days, oh happy days!
So, er um, yeah, my apologies... I have a back log of posts to get up, but until kid #2 starts sleeping through the night, my hours of sanity are limited, so sorry for the disappearing act.
Stumbled across some interesting designs by David Lee. Wish there were larger pictures.
Chicago International (April 2010) has two Peter Tucker workshops this year, building Art Deco/Moderne style furniture based on a work by American designer Paul Frank. The class will "discuss how planning an approach before starting to build can simplify the process and aid in getting neat and accurate results". Jeez, do I ever need this class. 
Clearview House by MIAIM Miniature Design & Architecture is how I envisioned customizing the Antrim Modern Kit I bought. I love the balconies, all of the windows and the front door. They dropped the price to around $650 US + shipping from UK.
Pubdolls has created some great designs using legos. The modular shelving system is made of Lego window frames. Genius!
I'm interested to see what else LEGO comes up with in their Architecture line. Right now they are focused on a new line of distinctive landmark building sets; John Hancock, Empire State Building, Seattle Space Needle. The plan is to "offer other famous landmarks throughout the world celebrating influential architects and movements that have shaped the environment around us." If this picture is an indicator of more modern design to come... yay!
Um... WOW! 
Gidon sent me some more detailed pictures of the models I'm in love with. Try not to drool over your keyboard. The models currently reside in the PR dept at Resene. There was some talk of them going on permanent display and being exhibited together with some life size versions of the furniture miniatures and a life size lounge niche, but nothing has been finalized. Gidon did construct an experimental bent plywood chair based on one of the miniature designs featured in the Resene models just for fun. I would love to check out that lounge if it comes together. If you're interested in a dollhouse by Gidon, you can get in touch through the contact form on the Saatchi Gallery website (free registration required). Here's the link: www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist_profile//81041 or www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/BuyArt.php?artist_id=81041.
Here I am trying to befriend an architechet, when all types of artists are building incredible modern miniatures. The Shopping Sherpa made this incredible find in the current issue of Home New Zealand. Sculptor Gidon Bing built the models and Katie Lockhart styled the homes for Karen Walker Paints, a new line of paints from Resene. How I wish we had an outlet where architectural models like these could be sold. I would love to do more than just drool over these pictures.
