OfHouses guest curated by Graham McKay (Misfits Architecture): “The first house plan I ever saw was the one my father had drawn of the house we lived in. I was maybe eight but, from then on, I drew imaginary houses and was eager to see the ones others drew. I first saw Frederick Keisler’s Endless House in a weekend newspaper when I was maybe ten. I won’t select it as one of my seven as it was never built and being built is one of the rules. I was perhaps twelve when I saw Tom McNulty and Mary Otis Steven’s 1968 Lincoln House in a LIFE magazine at the local barbershop. It’s one of my top five formative houses but another one of the rules is houses that haven’t already been chosen. My still unformed tastes were for weird and curvy houses. I had a fondness for domes and “space-age” buildings such as Matti Suronen’s 1968 Futuro House. I’d outgrown all this by the time I learned about Antii Lovag’s 1989 Bubble House. If it had existed when I was ten and I’d known about it, it would have been my dream house just as it was Pierre Cardin’s. This house ignores architecture – it exists only to be enjoyed for what it is. Architecture ignores it in return.” (Photos: © Louis-Philippe Breydel, Gaëlle Le Boulicaut / Le Figaro, Pierre Adenis / laif.de.)

How I’m handling adulthood so far.
