today we were out cruisin around outside of lubbock and came across this house it is made of all metal plate pieces and glass over looking a lake as it hangs off of a cliff..it is al rusty with some nice patina..seemed like a cool hot rod house..would look nice with and old rod out front..just thought id share some interesting pics with yall
Thats Robert Bruno's Steel House . Its been published in a lot of architectural mags. I remember seeing it on TV and I thought it was really cool. Its really built like a custom car. It made of steel plates and welded. I would love to see it in person one day. check out the inside...amazing metal sculpture work!
Thats kinda taking yard art to a whole new level. Impressive metal work. I can't imagine how many hours/days of welding was invloved.
it is 174 miles from roswell, nm..and i dont know if anyone lives there i have seen a truck parked underneath it a few times and he also built a crazy looking one directly across the street too its made of all mosaic tile wierd colors and interesting as well...as far as i know it is finished too..its been that way everytime ive seen it..you can drive right up next to it on a public street..
Check this out. 28 years and still not finished, sounds like one of my projects....

ltex old iron, cool - thanks for the outside shots. Paul Y, thanks for that link. I recall seeing this house on Extreme Homes or something like that on the HGTV cable//satellite channel.. or as I call it 'the house channel'. I remember liking really liking it, especially the view. It is definitely something different. -W p.s. http://www.robertbruno.com/ flash heavy site... click on 'process' ... it shows the very beginning supports...
That is really a kool looking house ! Recycling at the finest ! I can't think how hot it would be inside of a all metal house in the sun all the time ! I am sure they have a great A/C unit to take care of that ! Here in Pa. about 1/2 hour from me there is the "Shoe" house ! Yes it's a real house that is a huge shoe like the little old lady that lived in the shoe ! There is also a family that lives there too !
Obviously a man who kinda knows what he wants, is willing to make changes when he decides to go in a different direction, and doesn't give a damn about the passage of time.As Cheech and Chong would say" I ain't into time , man !" An amazing house , a great design, and a huge project; the man has to have unbelievable patience and determination in order to complete a project of this size and complexity. And who is to say when it is finished! Waldo
Man I'd totally live in that house. I wonder how long it will last until the rust takes it down? Doc.
he would probably tackle you at the slightest Mention of that Dreadful sentence...as would most of the people on this forum hahah
