Default Slowly evolving home



This intense (and insanely intricate) sculptural home is located in Cornville, Ariz., and was created with found materials over 28 years by artist Michael Kahn and his wife Leda Livant. Made of driftwood and found/repurposed building materials, it's the kind of hippie spectacle I remember fondly from '70s books on environmental design. I've included some more images in the gallery, but definitely head over to the New York Times for the entire slideshow.

It's interesting but looks a bit rough for everyday living.

I want to like it, I admire the concept. It would drive me totally nuts. I would have to have something more grounded and just still.

It's more a piece of art that a home.

I don't like it, it looks cold and uninviting

It's obviously brought them joy in creating it though. I think that's all that matters.
