The Queen Anne Kelly Residence
January 31st, 2012
Coop15 Architecture designed this beautiful residence on Queen Anne in Seattle. The home was renovated and expanded in 2008. The house received additions such as a bedroom on the lower level and interior living, dining and kitchen area expansions.
The interior of the home had extensive cedar paneling that had darkened with age. The architects added more glass and replacing some of the wood with white gypsum wallboard. This allowed more light in and brightened up the interior—great move.

Paper Architecture by Ingrid Siliakus
January 19th, 2012
Amsterdam based artists Ingrid Siliakus has created this magnificent mini buildings out of paper. To best describe the difficulty of creating this art, the artist shares some words:
Working with paper forces me to be humble, since this medium has a character of its own that asks for cooperation. It is a challenge to find this cooperation with each separate paper brand I work with. Working with paper the way I do, namely by means of cutting and folding creating paper sculptures, asks of me to work with meditative precision. Paper architecture does not bare haste, it is its enemy; one moment of loss of concentration, can lead to failure of a piece.

The Temple Hills Residence was designed by Schola Architecture and is located just above Laguna Beach, California. The 5,000 square foot home uses a very refined modern interior with an emphasis of wood and concrete. The home feels very warm and cozy. I could imagine leaving the sliding glass doors open during the summer.
