Queue up the Chicken Little: the W Austin Hotel and Residences has closed indefinitely because the sky is, indeed, falling. More accurately, panes of glass—the first piece fell into the pool earlier this month and sent a few people to the ICU. Soon after, a few pieces fell onto the street. Guests are being relocated while the building replaces all 1,000 glass panels on the balconies. Two people are suing. [Statesman]
Mickey Rourke has just moved into a $13K a month rental in NYC's Meatpacking District. Sounds great, but it's technically a downgrade—the actor used to pay $20K a month to live in a 5,000-square-foot loft in the West Village. [TMZ]
The Manhattan Beach, Calif., apartment building where notoriously reclusive American novelist Thomas Pynchon lived in the '60s and '70s is on the market for the first time in 20 years. In 1991, it sold for $479K; it's now asking $1.05M. [Curbed LA]

Families in NYC turned out last Saturday to decorate Alvar Aalto's iconic Chair 69, slapping a new paint job on each donated example. Organized by Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and Artek, the chair's Finnish producer, the event was further from "minimalist" than Aalto ever dared tread. [NYT]

It may carry the illusion of a standard, old-school NYC hotel apartment, but the $2.595M number happening right now on Curbed NY is so much more. For starters, there's a Hot Wheels track wrapping around the living room. How very anti-Upper East Side! [Curbed NY]

This week, New York magazine design editor Wendy Goodman ventures to the tip of Cape Cod, where she visits a series of cabin rentals in Provincetown. Each is decorated only minimally and filled all signs of the beach: screen doors, painted-wood tables, wood flooring, beadboard walls, and compact layouts. [NYM]
Today Curbed Hamptons publishes terrific photos of Philip Johnson's Farney House, a Sagaponack, N.Y., beaut that was completed in 1946 and enlarged in the '80s. The stats: 5,000-square-feet of interiors, 363 feet of beach frontage, a basketball court, and a putting green. Ask: $29.5M [Curbed Hamptons]
A woman in Marin County, Calif., has just been charged with swindling $210K from Kaleidoscope Designs, INc., an interior design company where she had been working as a bookkeeper. She had been pocketing money continuously from Oct '07 to July '10. [Marin Independent Journal]
Owning a place in Inner Harbor is kind of like living the dream for denizens of the fair city of Baltimore, and Curbed DC actually found a house that looks like it is, in fact, floating in the harbor. Not quite a houseboat, the place is asking $8.5M. [Curbed DC]
Anything Isabella Rossellini does is glamorous, especially when it involves large sums of money, so the fact that she just sold her Upper West Side, NYC, penthouse apartment for well over ask is just about as glamorous as it gets. Curbed NY has sale details and floorplan porn. [Curbed NY]
The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (aka UNESCO) has just added 25 properties to its World Heritage List, including Germany's Fagus Factory, designed by Walter Gropius. Meanwhile, 19 of Le Corbusier's modernist buildings have been deferred until the next meeting. [UNESCO via Dezeen]
Designer Tania da Cruz put a new creepy/cool twist on the flower pot with these head-shaped vases. The perforated cranium keeps the flowers in place, while the blank face reminds guests of a nightmare they once had. [Freshome]
During the economic downturn, McMansion-style housing projects largely fell by the wayside, with average house size shrinking steadily over the past four years. Well, according to new data compiled by the National Association of Home Builders, the Mickey-Ds approach to home building is making a comeback this year. Please, no. [WSJ]
Brokers usually fall into the eager-beaver category, not the lazy-Larry one. Which is why this listing of a $500K studio is particularly hilarious: it's labeled "blah" and it shows not a Manhattan apartment but a view of the desert. Also, there a miraculous and somewhat impossible six bedrooms. Curbed NY has more. [Curbed NY]

Perhaps the most bizarre thing at this weekend's Dwell on Design fair in Los Angeles was an exhibition devoted to deluxe, modernist chicken coops.

Our cousins over at Curbed Chicago have dug up a listing that boasts a living room draped entirely (floors, walls, and ceilings) in a dark, floral fabric. Sounds like the outward-facing view is much better: the 1,800-square-foot unit (on the market for $809K) sits on the 45th floor of a swank condo building. [Curbed Chicago]
The two-bedroom property famously known as the cheapest property in Britain has just sold for the American equivalent of $16K. The house, which needs "comprehensive repair and renovation," hit the market six months ago with an ask of $24K. [Daily Mail]
