David Adjaye - Lost House

I showed some of David Adjaye's work previously on this post, but this one focuses on his Lost house in London.

The street facade is relatively quiet and unassuming, you probably wouldn't give it a second look if you drove past it.


But behind it, sits an open, high ceiling, modern beauty with interior courtyards (see related post) and even a lap pool.



I really dug the sunken cinema, which looks embedded into the wall, its effect enhanced by the monocolor green paint/fabric/carpet/millwork.



This puppy recently sold for $5.4million USD, or $1,273 per square foot! Geezus. (see link)

So good. Achingly good. If only I could...

Oh well. He's part of an exhibition at the London design museum, about as close as I'll get. There's a ticket give away too if anyone's interested.
