it's that time of the month again, kittens -- time for WHORANGE'S monthly pad.
this month's pad comes to us from fitzsimmons architects who gloriously actualized the oklahoma home of wayne coyne of the flaming lips.
filled with hidden passage ways, "dragon egg" sunken bathing pods, and lots of natural light, the flaming lips house is a fantastical fixture and music studio in the middle of a troubled neighborhood in oklahoma. wayne actually grew up in the neighborhood and is committed to revitalizing his community along with his wife.
and...as a finishing touch, a 50 dragon will eventually be perched upon the rooftop! as well it should be.
after all, every magical pad deserves a dragon. PERIOD.

Wow, my flow must be heavy this month, because I am gushing!
LOVE THIS HOUSE! I visited the Fitzimmons's site, and found more links to the house, as well as some other cool projects underway. On the news page, there is a link to the DesignMilk blog entry (02.2010) which includes a great short video of a walk-through of the house shot during construction. It gives a better idea of the layout of the house, and showcases just how charming wayne coyne is.

Gasp! An amazing home from an amazing artist. I'd expect no less from a man of Wayne's vision, but still it's stunning!

Wow! I'd love to see this place in person.

OMFG. WANT. NEED. DESIRE.
When Wayne is done revitalizing his wife, he can revitalize me...and my apartment.
