Fallingwater needs no introduction. Perhaps any discussion on organic or classic architecture is incomplete without reference to this amazing piece of architecture. Designed for the Kaufmann family by renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, this beautiful house was built between 1936-1939 and as of today it is considered one of the greatest architectural achievements of the 20th century.

This modern home has caught my eye. At first i was taken by the facade cut-outs, enhanced by the dark exterior made from stained black plywood panels, mounted in layers on a slowly grown pine framework. Later i discovered that the cut-out design, not only does it introduce light from several directions, it also allows the viewer to catch a glimpse of the different spaces of the house.

A couple of days ago i was lucky to discover a stunning, award-winning documentary called: “Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman”. The movie celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, one of the world’s greatest architectural photographers. Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, the movie is beautifully made, full of impressive visuals and graphics, interviews and behind the scenes look at photo shoots of some of the most unforgettable buildings and homes ever created. No doubt, this movie is going into my personal collection – a must-have for any fan of mid-century architecture and design.

Located in the Stockholm archipelago, this vacation home is minimalist and pure. I love the spacious open plan layout, large openings that bring in light and airiness as well as views in four directions, the roof light placed in the ridge, and the contrast between the dark exterior and bright interior.

When I first saw this house, i thought to myself: Heaven is indeed a place on earth. I mean, look at it. It has the most amazing location, surrounded by the Ku-ring-gai national Park, 25 km north of Sydney, Australia.

This modern holiday home, designed for both entertaining and family vacations, consists of three attached pavilions in local stone, timber and copper, overlooking Australia’s Stanwell Park beach and the Pacific Ocean.

Located on a secluded 25-acre property, this award wining project is a luxurious private residence integrated with the site topography, offering panoramic vistas of woodlands and meadows.

With the Centraal Museum in Utrecht celebrating the work of Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld, we’ve decided to take a quick look at his famous Schröder House. Considered an icon of the Modern Movement in architecture, to me the Rietveld Schröderhuis is an architectural manifestation of the purity of graphic design and stylistic modernity.
