A friend directed my attention to this un-built concept house designed by a Thai architecture firm. It is a house as advertising space. It is portable and has an overwrought structural system and very little privacy. My friend was critical of this as a good model for residential design. I agree with her, but as a homeowner, we both can reflect on ways that our houses are advertisements for a whole array of things. They symbolize our relative wealth, they showcase products that inspire desire and envy in visitors and they serve as a marker of the general economic condition of our nation.
