Mid-Century Modern Inspiration

The Hermitage gets water from the village of Sykaminea, which gets its water from a groundwater well. Water consumption at the Hermitage is a conscious process. Because there is no running water, you have to carry fresh water in and wastewater out, so you treat water more carefully. Wastewater is used to water the herb garden next to the house.

A quiet, elegant and mostly obscured 1939 design in redwood by #HarwellHamiltonHarris for #StanHawk (i.e., the actual #HawkHouse). Hawk designed and sold ashtrays, braziers and hurricane lamps that were prominently featured in Arts & Architecture and many of the Case Study Homes. I’d love to see inside this one someday.
