Selection of work from Fairfax & Sammons Architecture
I'll be the first to admit that these builds are a lot grander than we would traditionally share, but I just got blown away by their attention to detail and use of natural light, so I'm making an exception to the rule today. All of the below have either been built completely from scratch or restored
Selection of Work by Henning Larsen Architects
I’ve been sniffing around the webpages of the major architectural awards today as I wanted to turn to a real leader in the field for our next post on this topic. My internet travels landed me in Copenhagen with the inspiring body of work from Henning Larsen Architects who were founded back in 1959
The Hill Country Jacal by Lake Flato Architects
We couldn't go a whole week without including a slice of architectural inspiration in the format, it just wouldn't feel right. So I've raided the archives of Texas based firm Lake Flato once again presenting this beautiful hill country home which is based upon a Mexican design concept called the Jac
Short Film on the Aluminium Chair by Charles & Ray Eames
Anyone fond of the Eames pair? Yes us too, which is why I was surprised to come across this fantastic film that documents the making of their iconic Aluminium Chair sitting with so few views over on Vitra's Vimeo page. The duos design of this chair was put together in 1958 and looking back this was
Selection of Work from Kengo Kuma & Associates
Browsing through their webpage today I was finding it a real struggle to pin down just one project that I wanted to share from Kengo Kuma & Associates architects. Their portfolio was too good not to be shared though, so as a solution I've pieced together a selection of work they've put together over
Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
After my long stint of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe posts I've decided to write a short article on the Farnsworth House which caught my eye as I was reading a book about him last night. As the book ends it's quite disappointing to think my research might come to a halt here, hopefully I'll purchase seve
Exploring the Life and Works of Charlotte Perriand
Console by Charlotte Perriand, 1958. Metal and Laminated Wood Top. Today I thought I’d bring across some of my favourite pieces designed by french creative Charlotte Perriand, this also gives me a chance to dig up some information on her life and how she became one of the most important furniture
Selection of Work from Akio Kamiya Architect & Associates
Browsing over the portfolio of the Akio Kamiya studio earlier today I was really blown away by the way they’ve transformed a traditional Japanese aesthetic to incorporate modern elements. These projects I’ve brought across today really optimise why I get so inspired by architecture, the combinat
Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut by Le Corbusier
Exterior shots of the Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut taken by Paul Koslowski for Foundation Le Corbusier in 1997. Through my own research on Tadao Ando it’s been interesting to see the link between his concrete structures and Le Corbusier’s buildings and architecture. It all made sense when I saw t
Architecture and Details by Tadao Ando
I’ve been meaning to write a short article on the brilliant Tadao Ando for a little while now, he’s an amazing architect with a classic eye for form and structure. I’m not sure how I actually came across his works in the first place but I’ve had quite a fascination with materials and the con
The InBetween House by Koji Tsutsui Architects
Built as a mountain retreat from the hustle of Tokyo this “InBetween” home designed by Koji Tsutsui architects sits flawlessly into it’s surrounding topography and neighbouring culture. Constructed using locally sourced and prepared larch wood Koji Tsutsui opted to incorporate traditional Japa
