  • Deconstructing The Houses by Michael Jantzen
    Designer <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/michael-jantzen/">Michael Jantzen</a> twists our preconceived ideas of suburbia with this amazing series of abstracted photos. Jantzen's 'Deconstructing the Houses' challenges our expectations, transforming forms that we expect to be ordinary and static, producing an altered reality. By taking apart images of houses and rotating them he creates a new, scrambled vision of suburbia.

  • Deconstructing The Houses by Michael Jantzen
    These hybrid images are altered.

    4
  • Deconstructing The Houses by Michael Jantzen
    His images suggest a different and unsettled world.
    5
  • Deconstructing The Houses by Michael Jantzen
    In the reality of the pictures not even suburbia is a permanent entity.
    6
  • Deconstructing The Houses by Michael Jantzen
    The series of photos are very different to the previous work by the designer.
    7
  • Deconstructing The Houses by Michael Jantzen
    Jantzen's stunning Solar Pavilion house is a very different concept, yet there are similar threads that link the works.
    8
  • Deconstructing The Houses by Michael Jantzen
    Both his photos and architectural projects appear to have similar layers to them.
    9
  • Deconstructing The Houses by Michael Jantzen
    His work is often made up of fragmented shapes and patterns.
