Casa BF / Humberto Hermeto
Posted by Scott
Saw this incredible house by Brazilian architect Humberto Hermeto posted on Notcot today, amazing! I guess the plan is to first save up and buy a bunch of Herman Miller pieces, then build a house like this around them. Though aesthetically pleasing, I often wonder if would actually be fun to live in a house like this. I have a lot of odds and ends around here, wires hanging out from behind stuff, basically crap everywhere. That probably wouldn’t look very hot next to a stark, modern backdrop like this. But I suppose if you can afford this kind of house you can probably afford some sort of crap organization system, from Design Within Reach. More info and pictures are here

I think it most certainly would!
I saw this on notcot today, truly amazing.
My family’s very lucky to have a new house, designed by Will Bruder, almost built(after almost 2 years in the works) and basically if the house is designed well it should be rather easy to keep it organized if you can have some self discipline. But I think if you lived in a house as beautiful as this organization would almost feel like a duty to the house hahaha.
