Skinny Home

The Skinny Home
another fine production from
talieSIM architectural design



A more urban dwelling. Vaguely based off of various buildings I pass on my way to work, the mkSolaire, a smart home designed by Michelle Kaufman Studios and currently on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and bits and pieces of assorted parts of other homes that I've seen and liked.

Also, the exterior was designed to mock the suburban McMansion, albeit in a much prettier and cohesive way. See my note within the file for a bit of political commentary regarding this.

I personally believe this to be one of the most intuitive and beautiful designs for a home that I've ever made. I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Thanks to the maker of the suburban McMansion (you know who you are,) for giving me a base to not work off of.
