Strick house by Oscar Niemeyer
Time for some more modernist architecture I think. I've been on the browse since wednesday when we highlighted Marion Berrin's collection of Le Corbusier photos and luckily this morning I came across another beautiful build, this time by Oscar Niemeyer. I say architecture, and of course it is, becau
Marion Berrin photographs Le Corbusier’s La Radieuse
Today I've been around the houses in search for content, as my first preference is always to try and find a short film as I feel that these best convey a project, especially if they involve some kind of interview with the creative minds behind each. A handful of topics however, like architecture for
Adam Currie Photographs the Barbican
One of the things I love about what we do here is the connections we make, and the diversity that this presents. Some days we strive to preserve the legacy that an individual has left behind, others feature creatives in their prime, and today we highlight the handiwork of someone just starting out a
Mies, Aalto and Le Corbusier Interiors Photographed by Mary Gaudin
New Zealand born photographer Mary Gaudin has been impressing me lately with a selection of photography over on her portfolio website, particularly a section of it which documents a variety of architects homes and builds. Three of my favourites feature here, Alvar Aalto, his home and and office in H
Alvar Aalto Studio Outtakes by Leslie Williamson
One of the main things that keeps me constantly captivated and inspired is the small network we've been lucky enough to generate here. I love the idea that once we've shared the work of someone that isn't always the end of the line, I like checking back and seeing how creatives works have progressed
Le Corbusier in The Art of Architecture
If in doubt it's always wise to return to those tried, tested and accomplished I've always found, so with this in mind I'd like to turn everyones attention to one of the most marvellous modernist minds, yes you guessed it, Charles-Édouard Jeanneret or as he's more affectionately known Le Corbusier.
A Look Inside Le Cabanon by Le Corbusier
What a place! Le Corbusier's retreat called Le Cabanon which sits on a wooded cliff overlooking the Mediterranean. It's the only house that Le Corbusier actually designed for himself, a quaint little cabin which is miniature in scale and could be classed as a one-room cottage. He didn't design a kit
Residential Series from The Andrew Geller Architectural Archive
We like unconventional thinkers here, the ones who think differently, who see possibility and disregard limitation. Mid-century architect Andrew Michael Geller fits snugly into this bracket with his experimental approach to architecture, having helped shape what we perceive mid-century modern archit
Creekside Residence by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson
It's pretty rare for me to get completely blown away by modern architecture, it's often the likes of Richard Neutra, Philip Johnson, and Frank Lloyd Wright that are the go to for a little architectural inspiration, but this home built only five years back by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson stopped me dead i
Transparent House photographed by Tim Van de Velde
Talking upon architecture we quickly learnt that the best source for finding great photographs is the photographers themselves, opposed to the actual firms that create each project. This perhaps sounds a little obvious but when you’re constantly on the lookout for content you soon become wise to t
Ferdinand Kramer, Furniture Collection by e15
Today we’re going to take a trip back in time to look at the life and works of designer Ferdinand Kramer, also we get to see how these designs have now been beautifully reproduced by German furniture manufacturer e15. Interestingly enough e15 was named after the postal code of its first workshop i
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
