With an emphasis on both horizontal + vertical lines
and the patterns made therein,
this new house by Luigi Rosselli
The corrugated concrete facade
is subtly referenced internally
by the arresting woven cane + wire balustrade to the main staircase.
And the curved internal wall,
seen here to the right,
references the curvaceous front facade.
While the rear facade is given over to full height window walls,
admitting much loved natural light,
and a much more rectilinear form.
Almost a modern interpretation,
in contemporary natural materials,
of the Streamline Moderne of the early 20th century.

What a great new layout and name (I've recently just returned to blogging). And great architectural inspirations, as always.

I like this mans lines - very talented, but I do love it more on the internal than the external - but do you know what, I'd live there - very easily :)
Have a wonderful day,

This home is amazing but the rear of the building falls a bit flat though, dont you think? The inside however, certainly makes up it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Hollywood and that balustrade! Whew.
