Planning on doing some traveling this 4th of July? Travel in style like actor Matthew McConaughey does in his customized Airstream. Now, most Americans travel by either planes, trains or automobiles, but a select few prefer to see the open road via their own personal Airstream trailer.

Traditional Japanese architecture was greatly influenced by Chinese and Asian style, but because of the climate, the choice of materials used varied. In Japanese architecture, wood is the predominant choice of material. Typically the structure is wooden, slightly elevated with tiled or thatched roofs. One of our favorite elements of Japanese architecture is the way the walls, both the interior and exterior, are fluid. Walls can be removed or slightly modified by the use of screens or movable paper walls.

When designing our “Steamboat House”, we looked to traditional Japanese architecture for inspiration. We wanted to fuse together design elements found in Japan and the American West. This Steamboat Springs residence features Japanese antiques from the mid-19th century and a 700 square foot tea house with authentic Shoji rice paper doors.

Pilot Gary Rower describes what you can expect:

Take the ride of a lifetime with Highest Show on Earth Pilot Gary Rower in his airshow Stearman Biplane. Strap on your parachute and see the mountains like you’ve never seen them before, from an open cockpit biplane.  For the adventurous, try some of the same maneuvers you saw during the show or just lean over the side and wave to the folks in town… at 120 MPH. You may have flown in an airliner. You may have flown in a little airplane or a corporate jet but until you’ve flown an in antique biplane you’ve really never left the ground. You’ve seen them in movies and you watched the airshow now experience a once in a lifetime opportunity and take a ride with Gary in his 1942 Airshow Stearman. Definitely one for the bucket list!

A documentary on the life and work of Eero Saarinen is coming to a small screen near you, thanks in part to Michigan entrepreneur A. Alfred Taubman. Saarinen, considered one of the masters of 20th Century American architecture, is responsible for some of our most iconic structures like the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, TWA Terminal at New York’s JFK International Airport, the CBS Building (Black Rock) in Manhattan, and the Washington Dulles International Airport.

According to The Editor at Large, “The hour-long film, ‘An Architect’s Memoir: Eero Saarinen’, produced and directed by Emmy award winning Peter Rosen, will be presented by Detroit Public Television on PBS in 2014.”

“The ‘Mad Men’ style and feel of the ‘50s was Saarinen’s expression of a uniquely American ideal of the new and brash, a country about to dominate the global culture,” said director-producer Peter Rosen. “It’s exciting to be making this film now on a wave of interest in what our country was like in the innocent 1950s. This will be the backdrop for our story.”

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) recently announced “that more than 20,000 homes across the U.S. have earned certification through the LEED for Homes program.” The LEED for Homes program “provides guidance and verification that homes are designed and built to be energy- and resource-efficient and healthy for occupants.” This is quite an accomplishment for sustainable design. According to USGBC, “since the launch of LEED for Homes in 2008, more
than 20,000 residential units have certified with nearly 79,000 additional units in the pipeline. Over half of all LEED-certified homes are in the affordable housing category.”

Nate Kredich, Vice President of Residential Market Development, USGBC says, “LEED for Homes is moving the residential market further and faster towards high-performing, healthy homes that save residents money.”

To learn more about LEED-certified homes visit usgbc.org.

Trilogy believes that “a sustainable home not only nourishes the planet, it nourishes the soul.

We were inspired by the Bay Area home featured on California Home + Design. This open-air floor plan allows the homeowners to become one with the environment around them. According to CA Home+Design, “The layout of the home followed the pattern of the sun, with the day’s earliest rays filtering into the master bedroom, the midday glare hitting the pool deck and the sunset playing out dramatically in the windows of the dining room.”

Take a look at this dramatic home below.

And while we are impressed by the beautiful decor above, we find that Aerin’s Aspen retreat is much more in-line with Trilogy’s mountain style.
