House R by Bevk Perovic Architects
I thought we'd move onto something a little larger in scale now, visiting the work of Bevk Perovic Architects and this beautiful home they constructed which has lots of quirky elements that I've not seen used much before. Given it's being highlighted here I think we all know it was always going to h
A Selection of Furniture by Bruno Mathsson
I'm positive you'll all agree that we've had some absolutely stunning furniture featured on the blog over the past month, I've had a blast learning about all these different designers and their works. I'm not sure when it will come to an end, but it's really intriguing to find out the history behind
James Allen Walter, The Maverick of Modernism by Domus
Today I've decided to point you towards an article of interest, but I do have a few comments that I want to say myself about this piece written by Domus, the famous architecture and design publication.

João Canziani Photographs the Family Home of Architect Ray Kappe
Rummaging through the internet late last night I found myself admiring the work of two creatives in one project, the first being Californian architect Ray Kappe and the second photographer Joao Canziani. I actually found this wonderful set that explores the family home of Ray Kappe sitting within th
Richard Neutra Rang House Photographed by Iwan Baan
Richard Neutra has become quite the favourite of mine. He’s known for his clean lines, particularly in California where he came celebrated for his geometric but open structures. I think this inspiration came from his tutor in the early days, another inspiring figure, Adolf Loos who was known to ha

Usually I start with a designer of some sort, this time Alvar Aalto, and I head out with the intention to learn something new and end up finding an abu
Short Film on Architect Robert Madison
I stumbled across the story of gentleman and architect Robert Madison a little while ago now and I’ve been waiting for a rainy day to bring it into our archive for us all to consume and learn from. Today is that day so I guess I shall begin by explaining that Robert is an influential Mentor, Patro
Architecture + Influence : A Short Film on the Work of Philip Johnson
For what seems like months I've been itching to bring forward the work of influential American architect Philip Johnson, however I wanted to both present a project that did his work justice and secondly share something that hadn't been seen or spoken about already. So late last night as I was dwindl
The Artek Open Archives
My loved ones over Christmas were kind enough to buy me several books that I’ve been yearning for over the past year, firstly ‘Dieter Rams: As Little Design as Possible’ which I’ve yet to dig into, and also ‘Alvar Aalto, Through the Eyes of Shigeru Ban’ which is one I’m currently readi
North Cascade Mountain House by Finne Architects
Browsing around today I stumbled across this idyllic home which can be found hiding away in the beautiful mountains of the North Cascades, situated in the Canadian province of British Columbia. I’ve recently been reading a little into the architectural phrase genius loci which is the idea that all
