Looking up at a dusky blue sky with silhouettes of leafless trees and several lamp posts trailing off into the distance, a setting yellow sun as a small, bright ball on the horizon, and a layer of small clouds in a tight patchwork pattern

Also known as the Circular Sun House, this shows an aerial view of the home's distinctive curvilinear organic architecture constructed from a series of overlapping concentric circles. The swimming pool is surrounded by a curved concrete wall topped with port hole breeze blocks. Cactus and red lounge chairs are arranged around the pool. The home was designed to "emphasize harmony between human habitation and the natural world" while offering an unobstructed view of the desert terrain.

I could live here. 🥲

The Norman Lykes House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright 1959. It was the last residential design by Wright, and it was completed in 1967 by his apprentice, John Rattenbury.

Still photo from The Cornshukker: a pale man — wearing a pale gray shirt and tie, pale pink pants, and pale shoes in a decrepit room — sits in a chair tied together with string, with a scythe on the wall in the background

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

What a gorgeous drawing, and note the size: 5' x 4' — it's huge
