Burden House - 1947
Art collector William A.M. Burden commissioned Wallace K. Harrison (Rockefeller Center, MoMA) and Isamu Noguchi to design his summer home off the coast of Maine. What followed is one of the most incredible homes I have ever seen, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Suffering a devastating fire in 1999, it was fully restored and completed in 2006, to the exact specifications of the original. Click through to read the full article, and view the slide show.
If I lived in a house like this I would never get anything done. Instead, I would just sit and look around in disbelief: “I live here?”
(NY Times tweeted about this, this past weekend and I instantly bookmarked it)

Nada Bike is a venture from Project M that sells bike frames for $100, with no manufacturer’s markings or brands. It’s an effort to democratize the idea of bikes as a transportation method, without it being under the thumb of a company’s brand. Buy your frame, and build up your bike the way you want, with parts you have in the garage or with fancy ones you purchase new.
Getting one of these.
