Villa Frenay by 70f Architects
We head to Holland now, Lelystad to be specific through the work of 70F architects and this minimalist Villa that their team built two years back. I can't say I've come across their work previously but I really enjoyed this project all the same, browsing over their portfolio that spans twelve years
Ficalho House by John Cassian Santos
I don't know if anyone has noticed within our format but I've slowly been trying to learn more about architects who operate in warmer climates. Previously I brought across work from Brazil and today we visit Portugal through this house by architect John Cassian Santos. The minimalistic home seen abo
Sycamore House by Aaron Neubert Architects
I'm completely in love with this Sycamore House by Aaron Neubert and his dedicated team of architects, it's my favourite piece of modern residential architecture that I've come across in a long while. Ironically this is mainly because it's been evolved from the 1950's building which existing on the
Leaf House by Mareines & Patalano Architects
Admittedly this is a rather more elaborate than the architecture we traditionally feature here, in the search for a group of firms I've not come across before I found myself admiring this "Leaf House" which has been built by Brazilian architects Mareines & Patalano. I felt this was worth making an e
Jean Prouvé Architecture, Prefabricated and Dismantable Houses
As you may know already I’ve showcased various bits of imagery over the year from gallery Patrick Seguin, which happens to be one of my favourite “go to” places at the moment. Patrick is actually quite a prominent figure of the 20th century design world who helped promote various famous creati
Hiroshima House from Suppose Design Office
The Japanese designers never cease to amaze me when it comes to architecture because of the sheer lengths they will go in order to connect their homes to the surrounding environment. This innovative house from the quirkily named "Suppose" design office attempts to bring the outside inside, implement
Stoneware and Ceramic Design Works by Ole Jensen
Some great minimalist stoneware and ceramic objects by Danish designer Ole Jensen. Usually I like the quirky independent pottery but Normann Copenhagen have produced some great objects over the years, for example check out Aaron Probyn’s cutlery, it’s an amazing set which makes me really envious
Riola Church and Parish Centre in Italy, Alvar Aalto
You probably already know this but I’m a massive fan of Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto, his works never fail to inspire and impress me. Also, every time I research the man I come across new information that I’ve never seen/heard before, the Alvar Aalto architecture file is a particul
Casa de Lavre by Nuno Merino Rocha
I felt it was about time we brought across some architecture that was more recently constructed, yet just as considered as those we've been highlighting from the past. My search landed me in Portugal where architect Nuno Merino Rocha has undertaken this functional, understated build which looks to b
Isamu Noguchi, A Man at Work
After a long week it’s great to finish on such an icon as Isamu Noguchi. He really is an amazing talent and I was lucky enough to talk to The Noguchi Museum who gave me access to some imagery of Noguchi at work. This felt like an interesting and inspiring subject to talk about since Isamu is a man
Selection of Work from AABE Architects
Yesterday we visited an architect from the past in the short film of Russel Wright's home, so today I thought we'd highlight the work of someone a little more present with a collection of work from Belgium based collective AABE Architects. Coming across their portfolio yesterday I was taken back by
Short Film on Russel Wright’s Manitoga
I thought we’d turn our attention to another mid-century master today, so I’ve sourced out this great short film which introduces Russel Wright’s Manitoga home and offers up further context to the American designers life. This project has been put together by women’s retailer Anthropologie,
