Google Street View offers an incredible opportunity to see how people around the world live. This blog uses images from Google Street View to show places that people inhabit–places often ignored in tourism brochures and travel guides, the spots where folks experience their routine daily lives. Although people are often not seen in Google Street View, evidence of their lives can be seen in every single image.

About Me

My photo
I'm an architect based in Southern California. My work adapts existing houses to the changing needs of families. I am fascinated by the ways in which people inhabit the world, making homes for themselves in dense cities and isolated spots. I strive to learn from the experience of people around the world, to create a place that is not only a house, but a home as well, both in the private and public realms.
