Eastern Kentucky University

Spotted this building on the campus of the Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky. Apparently it's the "Model Laboratory High School" and according to Wikipedia was completed in 1961. Haven't been able to trace who designed it but it doesn't look bad...

Columbus, Indiana

On vacation recently in the US we stopped in Columbus, Indiana. Columbus is famous for its architecture. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very good that day and we didn't have much time, but I did manage to visit a few highlights....

First is the First Christian Church. This was the first modern building in Columbus. Designed by Eliel Saarinen and completed in 1942.

Then we went to the First National Bank, designed by Eero Saarinen in 1954. This one is famous for the domed ceiling lights (which you can't see in the pictures :). Unfortunately the bank wasn't open, but it looks like the interior is still original.

Last but not least was the North Christian Church. Also designed by Eero Saarinen and completed in 1964. This was the last building he designed before his death in 1961. Very impressive....

Wish I had the money to buy this....

Just found this one for sale here in Holland. Check out the details, especially the crazy entrance! It was built in 1952 and designed by the architect duo Verbruggen-Goldschmidt. The interior appears to be fairly original. Hope this goes to someone who appreciates it.....

I stole the pictures from the listing, which you can find here

Living the high life...

That's right! For sale is the Walker Residence. Designed in 1959 by Rodney Walker (who also designed Case Study Houses 16 and 18). It is in immaculate condition judging from the pictures (stole these from the realtor). Only $ 4 Million will get you this classy pad....

Vintage Design Börse Düsseldorf

Was great as usual. We bought this vintage Loop chair (1954) by Willy Guhl for in the garden. Wanted one for years. Only thing is, I'm not 100% sure if there is asbestos in this....:)

Finally....

It's here! No pictures from the inside. Y'all gonna buy it anyway...

And even more good news: Saul Bass' super rare children's book "Henri's walk to Paris" will be re-released in February. Allright!!

The Kimmelman Residence, 1957

For sale for $1,465,000. House built by architect Philip Kimmelman. Kimmelman worked for Welton Becket on numerous LA projects (Pasadena Bullocks, etc.). Dig those louvre windows. Nice!
