Modern Barn Conversion

A very nice barn conversion by RRA architects. Barns are particularly conducive to modern conversions, as they are generally the epitome of form follows function. And that form is generally classic and minimal. The additive portions of the project complement (rather than compete with) the existing structure very nicely.

Square Gutters Again

Another great looking house by another great Scandinavian firm. When I first saw the images, I was immediately reminded of this house (check out the gutters!). In fact, I thought they might be the same firm, but turns out this project it bySwedish firm Sandell Sandberg.

Delft Blue Soda Cans?

I can't remember where I found this... but I love the juxtaposition of traditional Delft blue china and a modern soda can.

If anyone has more information, I'd love to learn more.

Mutewatch

I have only started wearing a watch in the last year or so, but I am dying to replace it with this watch. Designed by Swedish firm Mutewatch, this thing is just gorgeous. I may actually get on the waiting list for when it comes out in July!

Javier Larraz

I don't know much about Spanish architect Javier Larraz (and his website isn't exactly forthcoming), but I'd love to learn more because what I see is really fantastic!

I Could Not Love This More

This home, a comment on the archetype is absolutely fantastic. Designed by Portuguese architecture firm Aires Mateus, the home modernizes a classical house form. Rather than directing the residents' views outwards beyond the home, the light in this home is provided from the 3 story courtyard allowing for inward reflection and communication.

.

While I realize that this house isn't for everyone... I absolutely love it. It is a daring person who is willing to plunk this house down in a traditional location, but living in it would be like living inside your favorite sculpture (which to me, sounds fantastic).

.

I've been looking at this project for over a week, and I just can't stop going back over and over again.

Great Business Model or just a Great Space?

This temporary (1 year) shop for e-types is located in Copenhagen, and is a physical space to buy fonts... An interesting concept... At first, it seems like a strange idea for a shop (doesn't everyone buy their fonts online?!?). But, when you think of the shop as a designer's destination, I'm sure it will be fairly successful!
