The UTS (university of technology) architecture is a sight to behold, with its features that grabs the attention visually.
Contrast & form, transparency & light and expressive geometry – some buildings intended as statements or landmarks with its glass façades, open atria, curved facades etc.
A great experience for anyone that’s interested of architecture & design.
Some “odd” window placements where light, view, function, expression – not just symmetry were considered. Windows can be placed where the light falls most beautifully during the day, high-placed windows can let in light without being visible, a narrow window can frame a tree or a special section of nature.
Shirokuro, a Japanese restaurant in NYC’s East Village, where everything looks like a hand-drawn sketchbook.
Combining different natural materials, colors & patterns, in a style that you like, makes it easy to create relaxed, down-to-earth atmosphere.
For a light & modern interior, add warm touches with modern & graphic textiles. The limited color palette & the same lack of ornamentation as in northern nature create a sense of simplistic beauty & calmness.
Tea Trolley 901, a classic piece of Scandinavian modern furniture designed by Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto in the 1930s. A beautiful serving cart, side table, or decorative accent piece in Nordic-style.
