For over 13 years, architect Mickey Muennig (and girlfriend and children) lived in the tiny Greenhouse—his 1976 take on the then-popular dome and his celestial artistic response. From the deck of the outdoor bath, you can see up the coast.
Inside the one-room house, the reclaimed-redwood platform bed hangs on slender steel rods fastened to the ceiling. The ceiling cap is a vent—the house’s thermostat.

c’est génial. Mais ça veut dire quoi “divisions”
Clés de la ville de Lyon
Les trois clés de la ville, dessinées par Chinard et exécutées par l’orfèvre Saulnier © Pierre VerrierThose keys are symbolic and open no door in Lyon. Instead, they embody the three divisions of the town (North, West, South) that existed during the 1st Empire. Each key is decorated by elements specific to each part.
They were created by Joseph Chinaed for the visit of the Emperor Napoléon I and his wife Joséphine in Lyon on the 10th of April 1805, and then publically presented to him in front of the political men of the city as a sign of allegiance and gratitude.
