In Seattle, Washington, the Walker-Pope House sits deep in a beautiful forest. The house just seems to belong to its surroundings, it doesn’t try to blend with the surrounding landscape, nor does it stand out as a glaring eyesore.
The interior is infused with a sense of comfort, not just from the furnishings and decor, but from the orange walls and ceiling.
The Walker-Pope House is a beautiful example of how architecture should impact the world
You remember the post we did about Starbucks using cargo containers as a drive through? Cargotecture is an effort by Hybrid Architecture to turn old cargo containers into guesthouses and holiday accommodation.
The containers are portable so they can also be set anywhere in the county’s 26,000 acres of parkland.
*The different styles and sizes as well as the features of each of the containers can be seen on the Cargotecture website, via Gardenista

The Orca speakers are from Blumenstein Speaker company that operates out of Seattle, Washington. The speakers are made from a mixture of sustainable materials including banana plant fibre, Birch plywood, Plyboo Bamboo Plywood and Titebond III waterproof wood glue for long-term durability.

With the addition of a subwoofer or two, the bass reveals itself and they adjust to being surround sound speakers.
