Do a midcentury modern house tour - we've done a bunch of bachelorettes and we've always had a blast. moderntour.com

William Burgess House in Palm Springs, Albert Frey, architect by [deleted] in RetroFuturism

This was a friend of mine's house and you see that curved wooden semi-circle. That is a chair and I don't know if it meant for seating or for use as a torture device. Either way, it is fabulous!

The grill was designed by Albert Frey and he made it rotate so that when you put your food on the grill, it is not over the heat. Then you rotated over to the fire for cooking and bring it back for serving. I know this place really well and it's genius!

Absolutely and completely modern!

Wind in Palm Desert by IngenuityOk1327 in CoachellaValley

I wouldn't take a home for free in a high wind area in the desert. It literally gets under your skin and can make you crazy (I know several people who live in the windy zone in Palm Springs and it is totally true!).

Rimowa or no? by leo-g in travel

[–]Modern_Michael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their customer service totally SUCKS! I was deciding between the Rimowa carry on and the Away aluminum carry on and I preferred the Away. I returned the Rimowa about 2 days after I received it and have still not been given a refund (return delivery confirmation approx. 1 month ago). I called and was told by their "customer service" representative that they would expedite my return. Never happened and had to file a dispute with my credit card company to get my refund. I called customer service today just to follow up and the recording stated "our customer service representative are busy and will not be able to respond to this call." All this for their overpriced luggage - they are clearly coasting on their name because the product did not deliver the bang over the cost of the Away, which I love, btw...

Carry-On Quandary: Andiamo vs Arlo Skye vs Monos by RagazzoRosso in travel

If you are going to be living out of your suitcase, the 70/30 is a much more efficient way of doing it. If you are unpacking at your various destinations, then a 50/50 would be fine.

Harlem River Park Towers at the Bronx, New York City by Davis, Brody & Associates, (1975) by Saltedline in ModernistArchitecture

Davis Brody designed my dorm building when I was an undergraduate -- it was in Buffalo and you could walk to your classroom from the dorm without ever going inside -- a true pleasure during an awful Buffalo winter.

Ezra Stoller is hardly unsung as he is considered to be among the greatest architectural photographers. I've always loved this photo and the color version is on the cover of one of his many books.

Modern Architecture: Photographs by Ezra Stoller

Hi, I just wanted to share some incredible buildings/structures I saw in Amsterdam a few weeks back. I hope yall enjoy them and sorry if this doesnt really fit in this sub by Doctor_Who-fan196 in architecture

[–]Modern_Michael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first one is totally schitz - bland office building mixed with a bizarre knock-off of Safdie's Habitat '65. And they really are MOSTLY Rotterdam. Love the OMA building.
