House JA

This doublehouse is actually an expansion of a semi house. The architects doubled the living space by connecting two houses, but the extension on the outside was coated with only one material to prevent further heterogeneity. The spacious new area of the house is bathed in light because of the outlouk on the countryside. The old combined with the new, the peaceful view and the light that wanders...

SPREAD ArtCulture Sneak Peak

Just received my copy of SPREAD ArtCulture Magazine, which is due out in August.

Masakage Tanno’s Wood Card Case is front and center, and Boym Partners’Totem get a nice nod as well. Great magazine with some...

String.

This is a fantastic shelving system I haven’t seen before! Maybe because there is no US distributor. Hmm, maybe I should give them a call :). String, Sweden.
