The Home in 2001 as Imagined in 1967
THE HOME OFFICE
Oh jeez this is funny. I want that phone…i guess none of them could have guessed that everything he mentioned would be integrated within one machine…brilliant. I guess they got it right on most fronts here…i am that guy who works from home…i am the future…well, the future past anyway…i’m probably a little outdated now.
THE LIVING ROOM
Hilarious!! I love the sunken lounge seating area…very Don Draper. I have one of those futuristic switches on my wall…its called a dimmer switch…oh how futuristic!!! Living the dream!!!
THE KITCHEN
Oh Wow…eradiated foods…what the hell is that!!! And i love how they had no idea how the food was to be stored in the future so it was stored over “there”. Automated Chef!!!! Do they mean my microwave oven???? haha!!! And the food comes out here…of course it does Walter!!! Brilliant!!! I kinda wish that this was exactly how the future (now) was…the colours, style and shape of things looked far more interesting than they actually do.

Proto Homes – The Modernist Home & Office
Ah…just look. Just look at it.
Proto-Homes is the vision of Developer Frank Vafaee and agents Lorin Ruttenberg and Monica Garcia-Grilli (Listing agents).
I just love everything about this design and concept for a modern home. Clean lines, space, neutral colour scheme mixed with reds, browns and , i guess any other colour you want. It seems that these guys will work with you from the ground up on the design and layout of your Proto-Home and whats more you get everything in the one price!!!! Ok, look its not cheap and you have to have a plot of land first which i’m sure costs a hell of a lot but you can dream can’t you!!! For a mere $525,000 for 2,500 sq.ft (that’s around £340,000 in english money) thats pretty amazing…is it? i dunno, i’ve never bought a house in my life and i’m not sure i ever will (not in Ripoff Britain anyway!) so i really don’t know but lets not ruin the fantasy…its beautiful thing. Oh and they’re only available in L.A so thats a bit of a bummer…cos i don’t want to live there either really…still…i want one.

The Modernist Home – Domek v Busi – Cajthamlova Marketa Architect
I don’t know anything about the architect…his or her name might be Cajthamlova Marketa Architect, obviously not the “Architect” bit, and they hail from the Czech Republic…other than that…i know nothing. Not helpful i know. But lets talk a little about the home we see here to make up for it.
I don’t know why they have named it Domek v Busi. A few of their buildings have a similar naming style with the “v”. Maybe its the result of two Architects who had a fight and this house happened?!?!?!? Maybe its their, like, superpower…oh stop, i don’t know its probably a collaboration or something.
Anyway, i like the look of this place, its got a kind of slight industrial/scandinavian/modernist look about it, i mean it looks kinda homely and office like at the same time, which i don’t mind truth be told. I do love the whole openess of it, i wonder if the glass in the windows tints at night…anyway, it definitely hits the minimalist, modernist ideal…definitely functional…maybe a little male at the moment…but what a bachelor pad this would make uh!!!
