If you perused the October issue of Architectural Digest, then you couldn’t have missed this brightly illuminated, wildly innovative home by Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat.

This design wonder on New York‘s Shelter Island appears to be much larger than its modest 1,100 square feet. The two architects wanted a two-volume home while using something more fluid than glass, something “not deconstructed.” After a visit to Mies van der Rohe’s Pavillion in Barcelona, the quite unusual floor plan started to take shape.

Just imagine 30 years of looking at orange, yellow and pink. Lots of it and all at jarring angles. Wow! After a week of living there I’d stick my head in a hole in the yard just to rest my eyes. I’m sure they’d bleed in short order.

Why does a 200 year old farmhouse still please the eye and the spirit? How long would this circus feel like a place to come home and rest?

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

I ran a design boutique in Beverly Hills before designing and consulting about children’s spaces privately. I also consult and write often about efficient living and green design. In this web-wide world of design, I offer virtual consulting and design packages, and love to help create successful spaces. I believe that a deliberate environment increases the happiness of families and individuals—deliberate in style and aesthetics as well as functionality. The oldest of six children, and a parent of two, I have also personally seen how good design matters. In the hustle of daily life, sometimes the greatest parental tool is a calm atmosphere in which to unwind and engage with each other.
