So often when hunting for high-end properties in ski country, we run into the same tired log cabin aesthetic, with Native American-inspired prints, heavy leather furniture, mounted moose heads, and other Western clichés. Luckily, there are some owners and designers willing to brave a chilly reception from the neighbors in pursuit of something more unique. No one has turned the log home on its head more than New Mexico-based AD100 architect Antoine Predock. The Log Jam House was built in Colorado for a couple of New Yorkers, one o...

Perhaps in Fukushima, Japan, where Japanese architecture firm no.555 has designed a boxy, modernist residence with a putting green—or, technically a mini golf course—traversing the two main volumes. It's just about as cool as that rooftop putting green in Brooklyn. Below, find a full-on shot of the house.

He adds: "But if you scratch the film's surface, that's all you find — surface." [Arch Record]

As rumors predicted, Gordon Ramsay has left London for parts West Coast, settling on a $6.75M mansion in Bel-Air, Calif. The famously hot-tempered British chef, TV personality, and, now, Kmart housewares designer and Acura spokesperson will soon live with the walls of a Ken Ungar-designed five-bedroom, which was built in 2003 and has views of the canyon, city, and ocean. The home measures 7,400 square feet and, while it's certainly no comparison to the $18.75M Bel-Air behemoth Ramsay looked at in April—nor his Londo...

Illustration by Grant Snider
Colorado-based cartoonist (and, incidentally, orthodontics student) Grant Snider has turned the old "glass houses" adage into a clever series of illustrations depicting famous midcentury works of architecture. Above: cheeky renditions of Philip Johnson's Glass House and Mies' Farnsworth House. "My architect brother informed me that Mies van der Rohe was known for his innovations in steel and glass, not wood," writes Snider. "So just to clarify: those are MUTANT beavers." Below, find the artist's version of Villa Savoie, by Le Corbusier, and...

Located on a private, gated peninsula jutting into Tennessee's serpentine Center Hill Lake, this $5M compound is described in the brokerbabble as "Hampton's Style." While we'd normally take that to mean a shingled gambrel monstrosity—or the personal taste of someone named Hampton—here it means just about the most decked out summer party palace in the South. Owing to the fact that it's an hour and a half outside Nashville, the mansion has a private helipad tucked away on the roof of the garage for easy access. Insid...
