House Of Toce

When I was back in Seattle circa 2003, I stayed for a while with Michael Rosellini (previous post), followed by Jeff Toce and a crew of people whose main bond was that they had either gone to Carleton, or Burning Man, or both (that place, known as Zhouse, still exists). This trip, I visited Jeff in his new abode, startlingly similar, but much bigger. We had a great dinner out on the deck.

Here’s are some glimpses of the huge, organized, friendly, custom kitchen.

Jeff’s fiancee Nika and Zhouse resident Dominic prepare dinner.

The stove generates so much heat and smoke that a special ventilation pipe had to be installed, leading directly to the outside.

They’re getting married in August.

Here’s the living room on the lower level. One of the seven housemates teaches pole dancing.

Nice garden in the back. Homes like these inspire me to take better care of my own.
