Plan of Steel
David McAdam felt that prefab had failed to live up to its promises of affordability, sustainability, and a chic modern aesthetic. So he formed Blue Sky Homes, figured out how to manufacture a small, all-steel house, and headed to the desert of Southern California to make the much-vaunted technique bloom.

Fertile Grounds
Nestled in an apple grove in Sebastopol, California, the Orchard House is a rural idyll. And with the voracious design appetites of a family of gastronomically inclined clients, this concrete prefab construction is quite literally a moveable feast of a home.

MY HOUSE
Village People
Amidst the pedestrian-friendly maze of leafy streets in New York City's West Village, LOT-EK, a firm whose designs focus on the creative reuse of industrial materials, inserted a gut-renovated and intensely colorful new home—getting a facade embedded with truck beds past the heritage commission along the way.
Lawrence and Alice Weiner have lived in New York City for nearly half a century, but it wasn't until 1990 that they bought their first house. Over the years, Lawrence, one of the godfathers of 20th-century conceptual art and widely known for his minimalist experiments with language, needed a bigger place to work—and more room for his ever-expanding archive. Twenty years after moving in, with a renovation wrapped up in 2009, the Weiners' three-story house in the West ViSlage is sublimely industrial. In the interest of collaboration, Alice and Lawrence talk us through their new home>

MY HOUSE
Alice: We've always lived in New York—Lawrence in the East Village since the early 1960s. But after we were evicted in 1 988, with a note left on our door at seven o'clock in the morning, I spent about eight months riding my bike around the city, looking at buildings, Lawrence would only move to the West Village, he said, and I wanted a backyard.
One day I biked pasta former bakery and laundromat, and it had aluminum siding. I said I would never set foot in a building like that! But our real estate agents tricked me, basically, and got me to go inside. When I went downstairs, I saw that the entire basement wall was a mirror—and Lawrence loves to work with mirrors. I thought: Maybe this isn't so bad.
So we bought it and moved in. Then two things happened: First, Mayor Giuliani changed the building codes to allow for another story, and, second, our neighbor started to build up. We didn't want to be overshadowed— literally: Someday we knew we wanted solar panels—so we started thinking about a renovation.
Lawrence: That was 2005, I met Ada [Tolla] and Giuseppe [Lignano, LOT-EK's principals] that year at a show I was doing in Finland.
Alice: And he liked them, and he liked their work. Ada and Giuseppe also lived right here in the neighborhood, so we thought that they could break through the nicey-nicey aspect of the West Village.
But we don't come from people who hire architects! That wasn't in our background. We started off looking by word of mouth, and we looked for quite a while. We made it clear right away that we wanted a green renovation. Initially, we had architects coming through offering environmentally friendly paints and things like that— but that just felt like stuff for rich people who don't want their children to get sick. We wanted something more.
I awrenrs- Ada and Giuseppe got the spatial sense well. I need a lot of light, for instance, and I seem to require outdoor spaces, both psychologically and for my work. The earlier house was a mi>rture of studio and
Even with the reused truck bodies creating large windows in the facade (top), the house still cuts a trim figure on the street. The rooftop garden is hidden from the sidewalk.
Lawrence and Alice (below) confer in the grourtd-floor kitchen. Traces of color are visible everywhere, including the orange-and-yellow curtains and pink coathooks.

home, and I wanted the same arrangement. I was working on a retrospective while they were redoing the house, so I had to move in earlier and accommodate changes in the architecture. I saw the house come together, part by part, pragmatically, whereas Alice had a more holistic view of the final building.
Alice: LOT-EK was generous about letting us have what we wanted—but we were also very generous to them and open to their ideas. They had an interest in exposed Industrial materials, and I actually wished that they had exposed more—like the radiant heating and the kitchen exhaust pipe—but the contractor wouldn't do it! They used diamond-plate steel as a backsplash in the kitchen—which we painted pink— and they put untreated plywood inside the elevator. We need that for moving Lawrence's work.
Lawrence: A lot of the detailing that we pushed for had to work around the spatial idea of the architects— that's not a bad thing, but you do have to work with someone else's ideas.
Alice: I like the roughness of LOT-EK's approach and Ada's tactile senselike the reflective metal they used on the walls. It keeps the daylight moving through the house and it visually sustains the colors that we chose. There's also a lot of rubber, steel, and recycled oak—and it was their idea to use trucks in the facade. Of course, you can't please everybody. A little old lady came by one night; she knocked on our door, she had a cane in one hand, and she said that she hated the color of our bicycle rack! Our neighbors across the street called one night and said: "You left your truck lights on!"
Lawrence: The trucks are almost an elegant affectation. But the great thing was Ada and Giuseppe bringing a building that had been stuck in the mud into the present day, giving it a sense of openness without it really sticking out in the neighborhood.
Alice: You can miss the trucks entirely. The wall color blends in with the houses nearby, and it might be three or four times before you walk past and notice them. But this is New York; people shouldn't expect everybody to want to look like everybody else. I11,

MY HOUSE
Keep on Truckin'
The house contains five stainless steel truck bodies taken from 18-wheelers; two were used for constructing the rooftop penthouse (itself topped with solar panels). The trucks were pieced together by Truck Body East in Orange, New Jersey. trurkhndyaast rnm
One to Grow On
The Weiners' first stab at a decorative green roof went awry when workers installed the fabric membrane incor-
rectly; the plants didn't thrive, and soil leached down the drain, causing a backup in the yard below. But with the help of an artist friend—and avid gardener—they successfully brought a piece of cultivated wildness, including hardy flora like creeping thyme, honeysuckle, hops, and kiwi, to their roof.
Twice Baked
A garden path in the backyard was paved with discarded marble window-sills and stone doorframes. This reuse of ruins adds texture to the landscape.
Tone Poem
The entire house is marked by dramatic changes in color: Though the walls are white, the floors and ceiling swap tones, and pink fluorescent lights give way to a lavender bedroom ceiling. The domestic spectrum culminates in the orange floor and curtains of the rooftop penthouse-proving that even diamond-plate steel and ventilation ducts, given some Safecoat paint, can be made as colorful and warm as a kindergarten, afmsafemat.rnm
Partly Cloudy
The Weiners put Kalwall translucent panels to good use on the home's back wall, bringing daylight in without the use of glass windows. Although Kalwall panels can look slightly institutional in cloudy light, the results are often golden, as here. kalwall.com llii

Today's planters are smarter than ever. They breathe, they drain, and some even light up. So whether your thumb is as green as the plants you're pruning or as brown as the compost you feed them, your garden should grow with the help of these...

DWELL REPORTS
You don't need a garden to grow
food or flowers. And even if you've got one, planters are often preferable. "With a backyard, you have to take into account so many things about your soil: clay, rocks, drainage," says Huffington Post food and garden blog-ger Kerry Trueman. "Container gardening is the ultimate way to go. You can move pots around, plant things next to one another that have different needs, and create the perfect soil for each."
A perfect home planter has a hole in the bottom for drainage, weathers well so it can be placed either indoors or out, and is lightweight enough to be mobile—or kept on your roof or balcony without it collapsing. Food Map Design's Food Map Container tooted"btrtike"a~b3thtab""but is antdea1— pot. Its recycled-plastic basin features a contoured drainage system built into the bottom and sits on a metal-tubing frame and locking rubber casters, which makes moving it a breeze. Though the jury is still out on whether planting in plastic can be harmful to one's health, Trueman recommends
the material, which is also used in the Sahara 5 by Gandia Blasco and 18" Square by Loll Design, as it is often recycled and recyclable, lightweight, and lower in cost than metal or ceramic.
A missing key feature like a drainage hole, however, shouldn't automatically eliminate a planter from your list of possibilities. Woolly Pocket's Ridge is made of breathable fabric that wicks the water out of its sides and base, and the 18" Square joinery allows for water to escape through Its edges.
For planters that steal your heart based on their aesthetics but lack a drainage system—like the mid-century-modern-styled TH-4 by Architectural Pottery and Pod by Pad Outdoors— Trueman suggests layering the base with packing peanuts. "It's one of the few good uses for Styrofoam," she says. The airy bottom layer will let water drain out of the soil, preventing root rot, and reduce the total weight.
So whether you live on a farm or in a 400-square-foot apartment, the question is no longer if you should plant, but which planter to pick.li
