different kinds of porn - the architecture edition





-
for some people, modern architecture just seems to stark, too cold.
for tim and i, modernism has always cleared away the detail,
and with proper use of space, shown a new way of living.
imagine living here,
where the blend of inner and outer is almost seamless,
even in the way light must enter the space
depending purely upon shutters and daylight.
-

-
there is also something about the mix of materials
that always elevates a home.
you almost don't need art when you have concrete,
cold rolled steel,
and polished wide plank walnut.
well,
and fire.

-
or the visual impact of cut marble and resin.

-
we also love how glass and mirrors play agressively with spaces,
particularly in bathroom vignettes.
-



-
outside,
however,
we love how formal, almost traditional french design
can set off modernism.
it's always in the clash that you actually find serenity.

the proper staff doesn't hurt either
(gardener above for illustrative purposes only.)
