House No. 3: Homigami


House No. 3: Homigami
luscious paper stock from a paper company sample tablet
3 in. x 2 in. x 3 in. with base; house alone is 1 in. x 2 in. x 1 in.

One of the best parts of being a designer is the free paper swag, samples that paper reps, companies, and occasionally printers pass on to designers to pique our interest in new products.  Although I cannot foresee printing on this stock, which is "Hots" by Domtar, I love making stuff with it.

Today's house was inspired by origami, but I used glue. The house is constructed of the basic origami box and tent shapes.

  4. This one made me think of cupcakes. MMMM... when are you going to do the cupcake ones? I like the simplicity of this, how the home was deconstructed into its simplest forms of a triangle and a box. It doesn't need doors or windows or other details to let us know what it is. The archetypal house. ♥
