We've seen lots of pink and purple Victorian homes, but it's rare that a modernist building goes this bright. Designed by New York firm Stamberg Aferiat Architecture, this neon paradise is aptly named "Maison Plastique."
Architects Paul Aferiat and Peter Stamberg designed the house for themselves, giving them the freedom to experiment with materials, forms, and — most noticably — color. The original inspiration was Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion, but the angularity and super-saturated hues of the building, the corrugated aluminum walls, and the rubber roof pull it into the 21st century.

I just picked up paint swatches for that same green! It's good to see the color in use - and it's convinced me to use it myself (just not so widespread.)
quite successful for something that could have go so very wrong......and they can always paint it over when they get tired of it
I'm in love. I think I could live here.
nice place to visit but....
Barbie's Dream House
Love it, except for the beige couch.
Dear god, the horror.
Oh well, other people like it and I don't have to live in it. :)
This is one of those places where you can appreciate the design and thought that went into it but, at the end of the day, probably wouldn't want it for yourself.
I really like it. I love that bedspread in the first pic. I bet they do change the color up from time to time. Playful and tropical!
I really enjoyed seeing that tour ! I'd love to spend a night or two, as in a hotel, but I would never ever live there. I think I'd go crazy. Love the colors though.
If they ever get tired of it, gallons of paint, new beddings, and they can reuse all of their classic furnitures. I envy them !
Love looking this place but I dont think I could live there. For me home is place to relax and rewind and for that I need little less color.
Shelter Island is one of my favorite places! It's just so cool, thanks for sharing!
I understand wanting to have something unique, but when you build this monstrosity (among others) on what used to be a calm, victorian architecturally dominanted, tourist-unfriendly island, you just look like a prat.
I don't know why people insist on ignoring the pace/style/feel of a location when they build.
no
I love those colours together! I guess everyone's different about these things, but I find it very peaceful looking.
I think "Maison Plastique" is a wonderful space for a weekend house. The visitor would HOPEFULLY only be in it at night, for a few days. Luckily there are a lot of window walls to cut the exaggerated color scheme. At night, with the lights turned down, it could POSSIBLY be an inviting space.
I don't know how anyone could live in that house and not have a constant smile on their face.
