This House is a must see!
It is a spectacular cross over between an art museum, a gallery, an architectural gem and a playground.
It is a 19th century tall house, or shell of a house, stripped to basics, with raw materials blending in with man made art. The center piece: the gorgeous swing dropping straight from the tall ceiling.
Everything in the house was designed around the swing, the positioning of the faucet, bed etc. You can swing freely along the entire room.
The artist Mark DeJong, who's behind the project, worked on the house for 3 years. The result is stunning. The floors are stripped, the interior is raw and yet cozy. I love all the natural reclaimed materials used. It is purist, clean and beautiful.
I loved the little art gallery in the basement as well with some pictures showing the beginning of the work on the house.
This house is not meant to be lived in per se, but it is listed on Air BnB for short rentals. I think it is such a cool idea to have a sleepover in this extraordinary place!
I was so happy to be able to visit this place and could not resist the swing. Such a joy! Once per month Mark holds an Open Door Saturday. Thank you for doing that! read more
