If I could reduce my artistic inclinations to their simplest forms and ideas, and give it one word, it would be – geometry.

So, when I stumbled upon Daniel Wenger’s cubes  from the 70′s I got really excited!  It’s a truncated hexahedron! “The result is a building with the structural strength of a triangle, the stability of a three legged stool, and none of the complex angles of a geodesic dome.”  Having built a geodesic dome myself, the idea of making something less complex that retains it’s aesthetic beauty is a very exciting possibility.

I especially like it as a house/cabin form, because it employs a more traditional look with the roof line as opposed to the dome structure; makes it a lot easier to apply shingles!.  This might also be a workable design for life in the desert, the open sides of the cube create a breeze way.

Hammock? Yes, please.
