A personal review of design creations

Concrete is not only a grey, dull, cold material… It could be warm too.
Day 2: Sonoma House, Mexico
#ConcreteWeek – Contemporary Brutalist
After a successful #BrickWeek, here is the #ConcreteWeek, another series dedicated to another material that I particularly like: concrete.
Day One: Contemporary Brutalist House, Brazil
#BrickWeek 1 – Sleepless Residence
“Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begin” said once Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. This is for sure the speciality of WARchitect for this Sleepless Residence.

#BrickWeek 1 - Cuckoo House
"No man ever wetted clay and then left it, as if there would be bricks by chance and fortune." ~ Plutarch. This ancient wisdom demonstrates the power of this humble material that has gone through the ages… Let’s start today a week dedicated to the brick!
Season One, Episode One: Vietnam.
#LifeAfterLockdown - Lava Homes
