Life In A Mass of Shapes - Designs of Andreas Angelidakis

Andreas Angelidakis is a very unusual architect / think tank. The best thing about Angelidakis, is the use of shapes. Nothing is ever a square box with regards to his designs, well, not a boring square box anyhow. From waves, to circles, to geometric oddities, there’s a dream-like structure for just about everyone at Angelidakis’ […]

Antonino Cardillo’s Vaulted House

Well, Antonino Cardillo, an Offbeat favorite, sent me this back in February, but some email confusions about location were lost in translation. Hence the me not posting it until now. I’m posting it now because I noticed, or rather Cardillo, pointed it out to me that it’s now posted at WAN. The WAN post has […]

Copper House

Look at this little slice of delight.

The Copper House renovation in Massachusetts by Charles Rose Architects is so lovely - starting with the color. The renovation added a wing to a 1940s kit home, and manages to integrate old and new design nicely. It looks crisp and modern but not overly so. It’s got a […]

St. Croix Lutheran High School Copper Chapel

I’m not usually drawn to chapels - they just aren’t my deal. However, the St. Croix Lutheran High School Chapel in West St. Paul, Minnesota is an exception. It’s simple, yet, lovely in form and shimmery with copper. I love how tight it is; mod but classic (if that makes sense). Just an overall beautiful […]

Gilmore Trail House Update

Do you remember this cool house?

I posted about this house, the Gilmore Trail House, a while back. Well, Mark Fejes, the fellow who designed and built the home contacted me with an update about it plus some photos. Neat, because if you remember, I noted that I wanted to learn more about it, and […]

Elkins Addition from Ryan Thewes

Ryan Thewes is a newer name on the design scene having recently set up his own practice in Nashville. I doubt he’ll stay a newer name for long though. His background, even just as a student of design, is already impressive. He’s been lucky enough to study and work with some amazing architects such as […]
