Ray Kappe: His Home, Influences and Processes
I stumbled into a few pieces of content that revolved around architect Ray Kappe and his work, so it seemed right to capture them in one group and discuss some thoughts across the board. Whilst browsing on the Kappe+DU architecture page I came across their blog section that keeps you up to date with
Architecture and Furniture by Alejandro Sticotti
Ever since I discovered Alejandro Sticotti, a leading residential architect and furniture designer from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I’ve really been fascinated by his work. He studied architecture at the University of Buenos Aires before establishing his own line of furniture, NET, twenty-five years
Handcrafted Modern Europe: At Home with MidCentury Designers by Leslie Williamson
I have an exciting project to share with you all today, it’s by the one and only Leslie Williamson who’s been a big favourite here on the site over the years. Obviously, with a website that revolves around design, architecture, photography and the like it’s going to be hard not to be influence
A Look at Alvar Aalto’s Muuratsalo Experimental House
To finish off the week I thought I'd highlight Alvar Aalto's Muuratsalo Experimental House, a place that's been on my mind for a while now. You may remember me mentioning my project for 2013 was to make a piece of furniture, well before I get to that point I've decided it might be worthwhile drawing
Documentary on Architect Josep Lluis Sert
I felt it was about time architecture joined our creative content this week, so I went on the hunt earlier this morning to find either a recent build or a short film that would provoke a little food for thought on the subject. I'd not intentionally headed out with the modernist era in mind but once
Assorted Imagery from Fujiwaramuro Architects
I thought I’d lighten up the mood after a busy holiday period, bringing with me a concise selection of imagery from Fujiwaramuro architects who’re based out of Osaka. My little jibe with Japan continues as I’ve been coming across a variety of inspiration from that part of the world, the consi
Gulliver House by Be-Fun Architects
Considering the Christmas break it would seem this week is finishing before it's begun, since today has been our first full day back in the office. Nevertheless it's always good to clear the decks and come through with a fresh line up so I've been on the hunt for a little architecture to compliment
Architecture and Interior Design by Robert Mills
The great thing about this job is that you get to discover, you're always learning fresh approaches, concepts, and ideals from all over the world. The blog is like a melting pot for us and I get a great deal of satisfaction from looking at how individuals on the other side of the world view everyday
Inspirational Structures by Takeshi Hosaka Architects
Usually we're known for highlighting lesser-known independents who work on smaller scale projects. Takeshi Hosaka is quite the opposite of that, being a much bigger architecture firm who've worked on some big projects over the years, they're also recognised internationally for their good work (recen
Archipelago House by Tham & Videgård Arkitekter
I've been on the hunt for a bit of architecture, I think Mike Dorsey's project brought Mr Neutra to the forefront of my mind again, I really can't wait to see his finished documentary. Of course I could highlight another of Neutra's beautiful designs today but I thought I'd see if any more contempor
The Oyler House: Richard Neutra Documentary by Mike Dorsey
I'm a big believer in the idea of great design being long lasting, which is why we often highlight classic work next to those projects that are slightly more contemporary and recent. The two will always feed into one another in my opinion and it's somewhat fascinating to look back and see how the gr
Interior Spaces and Details by Takeshi Hirobe Architects
As they say, "it's all in the details". Takeshi Hirobe Architects proves this statement true with their awe inspiring houses, I've never come across interior spaces with such precision and individuality. I'd like to point out a few things to start off this post, firstly check out the above picture w
