I can’t begin to tell you how cool this looks to me.

I’m not sure which I like more: The yellow windows so it’s always sunny*, the mirrored surfaces so everything looks bigger, or the absolute luxury of having everything included in a very small space.

I’ve always loved gypsy wagons, and the idea of compact living spaces.  This design goes beyond any apartment I’ve ever envisioned.

Huge thanks to my friend (and brilliant architect) David Locicero (The Opinionated Wine Guide) for recommending this!

*The yellow windows remind me of a friend, musician Jaime Brockett.  I remember Jaime wearing yellow sunglasses — long before “blu blocker” glasses were available — when he drove his VW bus. The sunglasses made the world look sunnier.

(I remember writing him notes on yellow origami paper, hoping to achieve the same “happy” effect.  It was a fun time in my life, when I was just starting to get a sense of myself as an individual.)

Many of my flippant and fun attitudes were learned by spending time with Jaime, wandering around NH and kickin’ back in Harvard Square, many years ago.

Looking for links to Jaime, I found something else from that era:  Music by Orpheus.  Here’s a short clip from one of their best songs, Can’t Find the Time. [Click here for MP3 clip]
