Sunday Home Tour: NYC Townhouse

This NYC townhouse built by Peter Gluck and Partners  is amazing. They have totally utilized versicle space, while allowing for lots of open flow. Built in 2005, it's a very unique space, and I'm in love with the four story library. Swoon.

A Home for Learning

Architecture for a building that houses future Architects. I'm going to be interested to follow the redesign of the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto. This is the first picture I've seen so far.

An article on the redesign.

Bring It On Home To Me

I'm a lot in love with this. The ease, the design, the windows. Oh the windows. Doesn't look like it's available in Canada yet, so inspiration it will have to stay. You know, and the fact that I can't afford a home or... land.

Architect Charles Gwathmey has passed away yesterday, and although I cannot claim to have always followed him (because that would be a lie, and it's not a good idea to lie, especially in print), I was impressed by his style immediately. So called modern architecture can so often leave me uninspired. I find it sometimes lacking in beauty and heart. Not this man however. I love the use of glass and light. Above are a few of my favourites. While it is grey and rainy outside this is my beauty for the day.
