We don’t have much to say about this living room, we just wanted to share this picture (which was provided courtesy of the MLS)! A wax figure of Lucille Ball is stored in the garage…

The real estate journal The Registry named Arterra among San Francisco’s most cutting-edge green projects. Click here to download the article from the December issue.
Many of Arterra’s “green” attributes are evident in the construction process, including the use of Trespa, an exterior cladding made with end-of-lifecycle material that not only covers the building’s surface and lends it color and texture, but also serves as part of a rain screen system that protects the building and improves interior air quality.
The Arterra is scheduled for completion and homeowner move-ins in mid 2008.

It’s not San Francisco, but it is fascinating and real! The home you see above is hand crafted and lived in by the architect and his family. It was built “with maximum regard for the environment and by reciprocation gives a unique opportunity to live close to nature.” The location and planning were paramount in the functional design and about 1000-1500 man hours and £3000 (uuhh, even with the weak-ass greenback, that’s really cheap, right?) were put in to the home after the design phase.
The architect and eight other families and individuals have bought a plot of land in Pembrokeshire, SW Wales to crate what will be Wales’ first self build eco-village. According to the website, “each family will buy a 5 acre plot for the first phase of the village. We will have planning permission to build on the plot under Pembrokeshire’s new planning guidance for low impact development which ties us to strict environmental best practice and working the land for our basic livelihood.”
This exciting opportunity is open throughout the county to anyone (who’s in??). It’s not too late to join the second phase of the eco-village as plots will be up for grabs in 2-5 years.

NOTICE to all 175 Bluxome St owners:
You should have an HOA meeting to discuss how a bizarre range of pricing in your building hurts the value of all units. You can’t expect to build value in a building when 7 units are on the market at the same time – ¾ of which aren’t visible in the MLS and the price per square foot discrepancy makes no sense at all.
For Sale at 175 Bluxome Street:
7 “Active Units” on the market
2 of the units are in the MLS
5 of the units are “pocket” listings, listed by the same realty group.
5 of the pocket listings do not display square footage on their website.

Perpetually cool, Japanese fashion design can’t fail to inspire even the most fashion clueless.
A current exhibit at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco is showcasing the works of Japanese Fashion Designers Rei Kawakubo, Issey Miyake, and Yohji Yamamoto from 1983-present. Go see it. Even if you aren’t a fan of haute couture, or claim not to “understand” it, this is a show worth checking out. The garments elegantly blur the lines between fashion and art creating a sculptural impact that is just plain sexy.
On that note, fellas, let your lady know that you’re in the know. Throw on your Mihara Yasuhiro sneakers, grab a bottle of nice sake to sip and take a hot date there! You won’t be sorry.

It’s been a ride that everybody has enjoyed watching. The ups and downs and all the drama associated with the sale of the independent real estate brokerage to a larger evil corporate firm then the subsequent sale of the home and office of team Droubi. There has been talk around town, both in real estate circles and beyond surrounding this house, the sale and the sale of the company. The transaction closed escrow on November 9, 2007.
