Two very different houses...
Nov. 13th, 2008 02:08 am...but each almost iconic in their appeal to me.
From today's New York Times, this house in Bali.
"The 18-meter-high (59-foot-high) structure stands on stilts and is one-room deep. The open ground floor space underneath the house is punctuated by ponds and water features . The décor is dominated by Javanese antiques and artifacts that the couple collected over the years, linked by a saffron and burgundy color scheme."
The Times also has a slide show of the place.
Back in August, they featured Clingstone -- "a faded, shingled and, yes, very rough 103-year-old mansion set on a rock in Narragansett Bay." Much more a mix of sea and stone, but held together with friends coming over to pitch in during the summers.
