[trail house]

the house as trail – a structure built upon the informal, pedestrian-created paths of a site- a project by Amsterdam architect Anne Holtrop, as part of the part of the exhibition Unknown Territories 2009 by Museum De Paviljoens in Almere. interesting to me here is the interaction between site and form.  in a simple move, this building merely adds structure to the pre-existing circulation paths and makes the temporary permanent, and in this moment, the human experience of passing through landscape is completely changed.  the unfinished beechwood is a particularly stiking backdrop for the wild grasses, orchids, weeds, and clovers.  photos by Bas Princen; discovered on Jessica’s journal.

[cottage]

images of the ten broeck cottage by messana o’rourke.  i appreciate that the architecture of the new addition to the structure looks forward, not back.  trying to replicate the original architecture would never do it justice, where this combination celebrates the historic and the new in a simple,material-driven way. and the light in that bedroom looks just about perfect.
