Canna Road Residence by Ray Kappe

admin — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 12:09:02 +0000

Recently emerging from a contemporary restoration, this house in the Brentwood district of Los Angeles was originally designed by Ray Kappe in the late 1960s.

The house was fortunate enough to have been bought by Michael LaFetra a few years ago, because LaFetra is somewhat of a savior of mid-century modern homes in the Los Angeles area. He buys iconic modern houses that have fallen into disrepair, and rescues them from being torn down by lovingly restoring them, then getting them registered as a Los Angeles historic cultural monument, and finally selling them off for someone else to enjoy.

admin — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:31:59 +0000

The Hall & Oats half built the $16 million estate by combining two Connecticut homes; one built in 1770, the other in 1786. The two homes were disassembled and moved to a 245-acre lot with sweeping views of the nearby Catskills. The large home has 24 rooms, including numerous parlors, sitting rooms, libraries, an original tavern room and joins with the smaller house through a great room, complete with a runway-like catwalk. The grounds host several guest homes, a music studio, apple orchard and an onsite recording studio.

Spark Fireplaces – Modern Gas Fireplace with “Green” Technology

admin — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:50:53 +0000

Spark Fires released their new “green” fireplace design, these come in sleek, modern look and fit perfectly in your modern environment to create unique and beautiful focal points. Spark Modern Fires, the contemporary fireplaces with environmentally friendly technology when compared to wood burning and other types of fireplaces. Visit sparkfires website for pricing and buy.

Some words from the designer:

Traditional wood burning fireplaces can create up to 50 grams per hour of “particulate matter” (smoke, ash, and soot), prompting some localities to preclude the use of these fireplaces on “burn ban” days. Some localities are even considering a permanent ban on fireplaces of this type. Spark fireplaces are clean burning, creating no particulate matter, and as such are unaffected by burn bans.

In addition to burning clean, Spark’s Direct Vent and Vent Free units are quite good at retaining heat. At 80% efficiency for Direct Vent models and 95% efficiency for Vent Free models, these fireplaces actually heat rooms, reducing the need to run your furnace (which also reduces heating bills). And Spark’s Direct Vent models, when installed according to Spark Modern Fires’ instructions, earn points in a LEED certified house, while their Vent Free units, which are subject to strict national standards compare very favorably to vent free fireplaces fueled by liquids (such as denatured alcohol) for which there are no standards.
