apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Name: Marc and Lana
Location: Lexington, Massachusetts
Years lived in: Just about two

Last fall on a tour of Lexington's mid-century modern homes, we were lucky enough to see the inside of the famous "Big Dig House" and meet its current owners. We were thrilled that Marc graciously allowed us to come back and take a few photos for you.

Living in such an unusual space turns conventional decorating on its ear. It is a house where art is the steel beams, and wallpaper is the raw concrete. Click after the jump and we'll take you on a unique house tour where the architecture is the star of the decor.

Our mailman loves it when we get magazines in the mail. Not because he likes carrying them around, but because he gets a chuckle out of what our title is on the address label. Our Domino subscription calls us "Lady," we're "Professor" at Readymade, and the I.D. magazine address label says "Ambassador." We feel pretty special being elevated like this, but we don't do it just for fun. We do it to track the junk mail that goes along with magazine subscriptions...
