Atmosphere & Philosophy, When Objects Work
Today I thought you might appreciate this brilliant selection of imagery from the When Objects Work website. This company was founded by Beatrice de Lafontaine in 2001 after a career in the bespoke interior decoration business. The Belgian company produces and distributes exclusive objects designed
BR House by Marcio Kogan
One thing that's always a big frustration for us is actually being able to find the relevant media to document a project, idea or product that we admire. This might sound simple but often it can be a real uphill battle. So today I've dug my way through two photographers portfolios to document the wo
Visual Acoustics, The Modernism of Julius Shulman
So this is quite a tough post to write really, I'm not sure where to start. I've been on and off writing about furniture and such over the past few weeks but this particular one is more about a film and someones work, it was all inspired thanks to an interview I came across last night. The specific
Case Inlet Residence by MW Works Architects
60 years after it's creation it seems Philip Johnson's glass house is still having a huge influence on the design of contemporary architecture, or so I thought upon viewing this beautiful riverside retreat built by MW Architects. Nestled into a forested slope along the eastern edge of the Case Inlet
Collection of Work from Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architects
When it comes to sharing architecture on the format I've been trying to stick to highlighting one project at a time, but this morning I simply couldn't decide as there were so many beautiful builds from Detrich and Untertrifaller Architects that I wanted to share. In the end I compiled a set of ten
Mill Valley Cabins by Feldman Architecture
After what feels like days of internet digging I've finally unearthed a project of modern architecture that really resonated with me. Based in the Mill Valley, which is roughly 15 miles north of San Francisco, Feldman Architects have constructed this stunning duo of cabin homes which I'm sure many o
Lindau House by K-M Architektur
We visit rural Germany now through the understated home that K-M Architects have designed and built in the Hochbuch village of Lindau. This house simply feels inherently the way architecture should be in my opinion, free of clutter, an emphasis on the environment it surrounds itself in, and a carefu
Mid Century Modern Imagery from Frederick Barr
I've quietly continued to get inspired by the mid-century era yet in recent times I've not brought anything across onto the blog in correspondence with this. Today I felt it was about time I stopped hoarding my sources of inspiration and shared them with you all, so here we are with a collection of
Collector’s House by Andersson-Wise
At the moment I'm going through the idea phase of a new web design for this site, it's been fun developing the one that we have now but ever since the addition of the shop I've had a strong interest in integrating the two a bit better. The goal is to sell more limited items which are design led, bas
Coast Modern Film
We've been having a lot of fun lately searching up different pieces of architecture and reading lots of books about modernism in general. Obviously some of our favourites are past designers such as Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Eero Saarinen and the almighty Alvar Aalto. But obviously we're not j
Short film on Ron Radziner and his home
I've been doing a little internet digging and I've come across this short film on the principal designer at Marmol Radziner which provides further context into the design of his own home. I was delighted to find this project as there doesn't seem to be an abundance of films online featuring modern a
360 House by Subarquitectura
Apologies if you've come across this project before but this Madrid based build and it's concept really intrigued me when browsing around today. The design of the 360 House, which was realised three years ago by Subarquiteura firm, is something I've not come across before, the house is looped back o
