NEW LOFT IDEAS: INBETWEEN BUILDINGS

by Miryam Muller in ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN, PROGRESS


In today’s densely-populated cities, it's a definite architectural challenge to find space and create new, sustainable housing. New urban planning, for instance, in cities like Amsterdam, Tokyo or New York, is challenging because, there isn’t exactly a wealth of wide-open spaces and vast empty lots.

18.36.54 HOUSE

by Miryam Muller in ARCHITECTURE


House 18.36.54 by architect Daniel Libeskind can definitely be filed as 'extraordinary.' Daniel was asked by 'a very rich art world couple' to build them a country home and this is what he delivered. The couple probably couldn't have been any happier considering the fact that they had challenged the architect: “Whatever you design, we’ll ask you to make it more extreme.”
