Vaulted House by Nathan Fell Architecture
The home designed by Nathan Fell Architecture is located in the suburbs of New Orleans had a low ceiling that provided its exterior (and interior) with an aesthetic (and proportion) that was familiar to other mid-century homes built in this region but lacked many of the components that often distinguish these homes as remarkable works of Architecture such as an open floor plan, vaulted spaces (strategically juxtaposed to the low ceilings), and unexpected elements of surprise. Instead, the home favored functionality and formality in keeping with the regional client expectations of that time. Photography by Jeremy Jachym, Nathan Fell Architecture.
Apartment in Santorini by THIS IS IMDA
Perched on the cliffs of Imerovigli, this apartment was designed by THIS IS IMDA with one goal in mind: to enhance and frame the spectacular view of the Santorini caldera, creating a seamless dialogue between the interior spaces and the dramatic natural landscape. The unique location allows for a ‘zoomed-in’ perspective on a section of the caldera, a view that feels intimate yet expansive, and we wanted to make sure this experience was present throughout the apartment.
