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.

“Rarely do we encounter Israeli-made homes that seem to be taken straight from the cover of one of the world’s most coveted magazines, but as you’ll soon see, this house designed by the acclaimed designer Michael Azoulay for a family in central Israel fits this description perfectly. The right balance between masses, dimensions, and volumes, combined with fantastic mixtures of materials, textures, and shades, gives this impressive house – designed by star architect Oded Lavy – an organic and embracing appearance, turning this pleasant family living environment into a genuine work of art.” Photography by Elad Gonen, Michael Azoulay.

Dissonant House by M Gooden Design
Dissonant House is a project designed by M Gooden Design. A central aspect to creating a work of art that moves human emotion hinges on the opposing emotions of tension and resolution. Key components of this contrast are the concepts of dissonance and consonance. In music, composers often use dissonance to create tension and excitement, while consonance creates stability. A composer’s process of creating imbalance through dissonant chords and resolving the tension through consonance helps to create a deeply moving piece. Photography by Parrish Ruiz De Velasco.
