Architecture firm Olson Kundig, have designed Studhorse, a home for a family that loves adventures, located in Winthrop, Washington State.  The house is situated in a place where the climate ranges from hot, fire-prone summers to winters that have heavy snow.

The house is composed of four buildings, centered on a central courtyard and pool.  “It’s like a little campground, and you go tent to tent. The materials are tough on the outside, because of the high-desert climate, but the inside is cozy, like getting into a sleeping bag—protected, warm, and dry,” says the architect.

    Did you just cash in your Facebook stock options?

    Did your wealthy parents just pass away?

    Welcome home, to Hipster Estates.

    Admit it Jim. The “ride” in the driveway is what caught your eye. 🙂

    1in the “form follows function” vein I shudder to think just how dysfunctional this compound must be.

    The only reason to post. I wondered why they didn’t call it the Chevy Estate?

    You’d think with all the advances in every aspect of designing and building homes they could do better than a weak imitation of Eichler.

    Com’on, Jim… what’s the price? Or were my eyes glazed over w/ the sweet Chevy in the driveway? 🙂

    They could only get one truckload of lumber up the hill so they did what they could?

    12″ of rain and 72″ of snow. Flat roofs.

    The Chevy will get them out. 😆

    Maybe Kathy Bates commissioned the house?
