Feel Like Godzilla in Your Own Home

Filed under: Decor

Okay, I'm not going to say these creations have no place anywhere, but I'm certainly going to say (in between fits of laughter) that appropriate placements for these Furniture Follies pieces are certainly limited! The idea is to have furniture in your home that is functional (storage chests, cupboards, TV cabinets...) yet interesting because it's all shaped like miniature buildings. And besides what you see here the creators are willing to work with you to create a bespoke piece just for you.

With this in my house I would totally feel like Godzilla, or King Kong, or somebody huge and I don't think I'd like it. But I could see these in a children's room maybe, that could be fun. Priced around £4500, depending.

Filed under: Estates

Condo enthusiasm is alive and well in Tempe, Arizona despite a market that is showing some serious instability. Centerpoint Condominiums will be the first residential community in the heart of downtown Tempe, The concrete, glass and steel buildings definitely have an urban look. The condos recently went on sale. There will be a pair of 30-story towers that will be house around 800 units ranging in size from small studios to large penthouses. Amenities include a swimming pool and hot tub that has a sand beach entry. There will also be a cabana bar, a spa and men's and women's locker room. Designed to be a total community, the development will also have a gourmet café and grocery store right at the ground level. The project is scheduled to open in mid-2008.
