THE FLIP FLOP HOUSE - ARCHITECT TOUR

The Flip Flop House's pivoting walls and ocean view

People who live in glass houses...are very lucky if they live in houses like this!

Okay...this is perhaps one of the coolest hones I have seen in awhile.  Architect Dan Brunn was given free reign and $8 million dollars from a Los Angeles based couple to create this Venice Beach home.  The couple's only requirements were that there should be no brown in the house and they needed a place to hang their art and photography they have collected over the years.

Architect Brunn's solution was to create a house with louvered walls - pivoting walls!  These turning panels create wall space so that the couple's art could be displayed while also allowing for fantastic ocean front views!  The Flip Flop House name is inspired by the turning walls.

The house is tres modern (my way of saying ultra modern).  Sleek Terrazzo floors, shiny Valcucine white glass cabinets, stainless steel wrapped structural columns and tons and tons of floor to ceiling glass imported from Switzerland.  5700 square feet.  A modern wonder beach house!

What do you think of this house? Would you want to live in a house with flip flopping walls?  I would!

Beautifully done by the architect!

Happy Monday!

SEE THIS HOUSE: WHY THIS HOUSE RENTS FOR UP TO $250,000 DOLLARS A MONTH!

living room in the Hamptons with a grand piano, wood floor, floor length glass windows and door, white couches and lucite coffee table and accent tables and a stone fireplace

A modern home for rent! This one is 8300 square feet, 7 bedrooms, 11 baths in the Hamptons. The house has a large chefs kitchen, private theater, wine cellar, game room, pool, sauna and more.

According to the Sotheby's listing and to the realtor, the house can rent for up to $250K dollars during the month of August! Apparently August is prime rental season in Hamptons. During off season, I'm told a house like this would rent for significantly less.

Anyhooo....I like it for a rental. Would be easy to move in for a few months...price tag would be a bit challenging. :-)

Take a look!

Open kitchen with red stools, wood floor, marble island counter tops, a wood table, chandelier and large windows overlooking a backyard with a pool

Bedroom with white bed, surrounded by large windows with floor length white curtains overlooking the backyard with a pool

What do you think of this high end rental? If you had $250K to spend
for monthly rent, would you consider this little ol' place?

Happy Thursday!

P.S. Had a nice dinner at Catch at Catch at Casa del Mar last night. Was with good friends Linda Koones (she is the fabulous editor of Ventura Blvd magazine) and friend Ballantines PR head Sarah Robarts! It was a fabulous dinner. I tweeted a few photos on COCOCOZY Twitter last night. I was so happy to see my good friends. They are both awesome.

P.P.S. My DELL computer is not working again...ARGGGHHHHHH...so I couldn't upload the other photos I took to show here! Arghhhhhh...DELL is slowly pushing me towards making that change to Apple. Not something I want to do...but now with a 3 month old computer already not working DELL is pushing me over the edge! ARGGGHHHHHH! I digress...of course. Anyway, the meal was wonderful. We even got to meet chef Sven Mede...who is awesome. I may be getting a cooking lesson from him soon and I'll share that with you on the blog!

P.P.P.S. Was also going to give you a sneak peek of the new COCOCOZY collection textiles, but that is trapped on my camera too.

P.P.P.P.S. Our Limited Edition COCOCOZY Logo Lucite Trays are selling out! Very exciting that you all will have a little COCOCOZY to give as gifts for the holiday! We only have a few left as of right now. After I posted this morning, people have been ordering them up!

P.P.P.P.P.S. On a positive note, hope you have a fantastic day!

A HOME WHERE THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

ultra modern living room with retractable wall, fireplace, long sofa and armchair with a view of the ocean
An ultra modern family home with a 3.5 ton retractable wall - creating the ultimate indoor outdoor experience! (above)
I'm not a ultra modern girl but something about this super duper modern house with retractable walls and ceilings appeals to me.  Maybe it is the whole concept of really bringing the outdoors inside.

This Long Island, NY 6,000 square foot home was designed by New York architect West Chin for a family.  He tore down the existing small structure, raised this house onto pylons and then created a huge garage door style retractable wall that rolls up and offers those in the living room a spectacular view of the ocean.

I like.  Some thing fresh about this whole idea of of the simplicity of it all ... plus blue sky and ocean views aren't too shabby either - 21st century indoor outdoor living!

Here's a look at the living room with the retractable glass wall closed. (above)

The exterior - the house is raised so that the view is of the ocean and not just sand dunes...on the bottom level there is a pool and patio. (above)

Pebble wall shower in the master bathroom
This pebble wall bath is actually inside the master bedroom but it has a retractable glass ceiling. (above)
What do you think?  Too modern?  Or just right?  Could you ever see yourself living in a high tech modern house like this?  What if someone gave it to you?  Would you say yay or nay?

I'm on the fence about living in it day to day...but I do think it is AMAZING and I certainly would love to visit for a few months every year! :-)

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  Thank you to Cassandra over at Coco + Kelley blog for featuring a COCOCOZY Gate Throw in navy yesterday as one of her sick day must haves - a stylish cotton throw to wrap up in even when you are feeling a little under the weather! Hope you feel better Cass.

P.P.S. Best of friend AM and JE are still in town staying at my house...was at work yesterday until about 9:30p though so just saw them for a bit last night.  They are so cute.  It is fun coming home to my best of friend an her family. The kiddies are so darling.  Anyhooo...when I got home, AM told me all about how she and her family had just visited a friend of hers who lives here in Los Angeles. Said friend of AM apparently has a fabulous several thousand square foot house in the Pacific Palisades. While Anne giving me a home tour recap of this magnificent house she had just been to, I think I heard her husband say, "Yah and their master suite is as big as Coco's entire house"!  Hmmm....
