two of my passions came together...

...Architecture and Beer (in 1963). I can't think of a better combo.



I saw the Heinken WOBO post at Inhabitat and sent it to a few friends last week...

Then I was purging some old magazines and found the image above on the back cover of an old Fine Homebuilding issue (December 1986/January 1987)

skinny houses...

I saw this post: Cramped City Living: 10 of the Narrowest Houses in the World
...and it inspired me to delve into the eye candy archives. Enjoy!

All of these are in Japan - no surprise there....
I'd love to see the examples that you know of - and if we receive enough I'll compile them and send them out.
