Small Case Study House

Just got back from the opening reception for Atelier Bow-Wow's Small Case Study House installation at REDCAT. Wendy and Eloise went, too, and it was nice to introduce them to Yoshi (above) and Momo (below) as well as check out the pieces, which pay tribute to John Entenza and David Travers' modernist architectural experiment but give a wink to aspects of the Southern California culture and environment.


The Sunset House's parabolic shape is meant to maximize one's enjoyment of the sun setting. However, it is not an otaku creation, and actually fits a number of people.


Likewise, the Hammock House necessitates loungers to pair up before hopping in.


The Barbecue Coliseum fits a number of grills and is surprisingly comfortable.


It's too bad fires aren't allowed in REDCAT.


On the way out, I saw Ryan from REDCAT with two familiar faces. His friends Melanie and Terry contributed a picture and photo to our Year of the Dog article! They were wearing GR shirts and wrote about their pug!


If you go to the Wooden Spoon in Downtown L.A. tonight and run into the architectural team and REDCAT crew, say hi and congratulate them for a kick-ass show.
