So if you know us, know us..you would "know" how we asbolutely love architecture in residential design, just like this! A dream home of course for many of the elements of design represented.
Here is a tid bit about this project:

A live-work residence designed for an interior designer and a modern abstract painter. The pictorial name of the project was dictated by the orientation of the house and the way it modulates, softens and fragments the intense western light. The view toward Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula is free from structural impediments with dramatic openings while the east side is more solid and private. A system of exposed concrete mass walls and steel frames constitute the bones of the project. The massing is composed of volumes stepping down from north to south in terraces. Trellises and green roofs cradle the upper floor and master suite in a private and dramatic setting. From the structural skeleton to the smallest detail everything is a clear continuity between idea and material.

LIKE BUTTER BABY!

butter LONDON was founded by She-Brit Sasha Muir. On moving to the US, she was shocked at the number of toxic ingredients in cosmetic products.

London’s leading manicurist & nail trend spotter, Nonie Creme, joined butter LONDON as its Founding Creative Director to help create a complete range of hand and nail care products without those chemical nasties. No Formaldehyde, No toluene, and No DBP (Phthales). Ever.

My Throw Pillow Speaks For Me

So these pillows truly speak for themselves. Love the idea and the materials used.Each pillow is approximately the equivalent of 4 bottles that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill!
