Ken Isaacs, How to Build Your Own Living Structures, 1974

The ideal structure for stylish seaside sojourning in times of social distancing? We think so. It’s the handiwork of American architect and designer Ken Isaacs, who subverted conventional notions of modernism with designs that proposed radical solutions to the environmental and spatial challenges of contemporary living in mid-century America. This adaptable hangout featured in his 1974 book How to Build Your Own Living Structures—yes, you too can own one. And the fact that it looks like a mobile Mondrian is an added bonus.
