#glass pavilion

[hometoursandotherstuff]

This home is not for sale, it’s an actual tour and it’s a fascinating house. Known as the “Glass Pavilion,” it’s located in Orinda, California, was built in 1951 and has 4bds. & 3ba. I don’t care how secluded it is, I couldn’t live in a huge fishbowl. What’s the point, then, if you always keep the curtains closed?

The driveway and front door. It’s located on a beautiful treed lot with lots of greenery.

The entrance foyer.

The house is long and fairly narrow. In the living room is a center fireplace and an end wall w/a built-in credenza & shelving. Notice the wood  ceiling that is typical of mid-century modern homes. But also, pay special attention to all the glass walls.

On the other side of the fireplace is a small dining area. There are double doors in every room and I see heavy locks, but if the glass isn’t shatter proof, I would worry about break-ins.

With no place to put cabinetry, appliances and counter space, the kitchen is outfitted with 2 island that house the storage, sink and stove.

A wall built in the middle (everything is built down the middle to accommodate the glass) is some more storage and the fridge.

Luckily, there are solid walls in the main bedroom, but there’re still 2 floor to ceiling windows b/c it’s the only light. 

The 2nd bd., however, still has a glass wall and a door to the deck.

This bd. is completely open and has only a center wall.

There is also a very large, very open bath.

I just feel that this home is too open and the long layout is inconvenient. Here are 2 chaises providing ringside seating to the bedroom.

At least this courtyard is somewhat enclosed by a wall. Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but I can picture a drone by the windows, too.

Martelaar is a minimalist residence located in Ghent, Belgium, designed by Machteld D’Hollander. The initiative sought to reconfigure the area through careful demolition, reinvigorating the space with vegetation, while mindfully preserving certain structural elements.

bear with mee, pavilion bukit jalil.

came across this noodle place over the weekend when we were at pavilion bukit jalil after buying stuff at nitori. the noodle place has a really cute bear theme and the noodle looks appetizing so we decided to give it a try.

ordered the noodles with creamy soup and budae jjigae ramyeon with lemon ribena in a bear bottle and a snack platter to share. the creamy soup is quite flavorful and has a very comforting taste, i love the thick glass noodles, as it has a really bouncy texture so it is very enjoyable to eat. there's quite a lot of ingredients depending on what you choose, but definitely very filling. the bowl also has a cute bear in the middle, making the dining experience more fun.

it's definitely a nice find, simple yet enjoyable meal. the ribena drink was too sweet and quite pricey though, but the bear bottle definitely was the main reason why i picked it. XD

When Blue and Pink arrived, Crimson and Cyan were already there on their first visit, finishing their supper and playing a game of Molehill Meadows.  This is a new game by the designer of Zuuli, that they had picked up at the UK Games Expo (meeting the designer Chris Priscott and his delightful family in the process).  In Molehill Meadows, players take on the personality of Mika the Mole, who has…
