Natural light embraces the ceiling beams of The Light Walls House creating a warm glow channeled into the furthest parts of the home. The process to control natural light manifests itself through skylights outlining the 9.1m square roof. Thoughtful design elements in pure clapboard walls and glossy laminated wood reflect and diffuse its rays. Each useful space inside has been segregated into large cubes to mimic the personality of a little village with wide passages between each pod. Made by mA-style architects in Toyokawa City, Japan.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
