Issue 16

The Space as a Personal Affair

10am lofts

Set in the heart of Gazi, ‘10AM Lofts’ aims to become an “open creative window with views to Athens”

Piet Oudolf’s Gardens

Stars and flowers

Walking through this garden with Oudolf is an exercise in looking and not knowing where to start.

In Praise of Light

Fondation Maeght

Built on the ruins of a Romanesque chapel, Fondation Maeght is actually a mausoleum.

Finding Pani

Searching for a house of Mario Pani in Mexico City

For Mario Pani, the beauty of architecture was in the details.

Time Standing Still

At Dalí’s house in Portlligat

Time stood still and the domestic staff kept it just as it was until the Dalí Foundation set it up as a museum in 1997.

Elvira Solana

A revolution in the form of a work of art

Elvira began to understand that her training as an architect was not entirely unrelated to her approach to murals.

Sheltering the Imagination

The Olive Houses

The Olive Houses capture our imagination, even through their images circulating in the architecture ethernet.

Villa Magnan

A Divine Idyll

The whimsical feel of Villa Magnan begins with the Neo-Romantic gateway in the style of an ancient ruin.

James Plumb

The Lightest Touch

Shortly before the pandemic took its hold, the pair found themselves in need of recalibration, a pause to exhale, and so scaled down.

Hauser & Wirth Menorca

An island within an island

The midday sun plays with the Louise Bourgeois spider, tracing the insect's body in shadow on the floor and making it crawl up the walls as the hours go by.

Espacio Micus

The Indispensable

The German artist Eduard Micus visited Ibiza for the first time in 1968, but it was not until 1972 that he chose it as the location that would allow him to dedicate all his time to living and creating.

Vincenzo de Cotiis

The essence of time

“All homes convey feelings,” the De Cotiises explain, “and the ones we choose to live in are places where we get a feeling of well-being.”

Ideal Scenario

Hotel Scenario offers the perfect atmosphere for a restful evening after a busy day on the streets of Rome.

Natural Sophistication

MOR Design

Creative director and partner of MOR, Pedro Sottomayor and Keiji Takeuchi are just two of the creators behind the MOR brand's designs. Alvaro Siza, Daniel Schofield, Julien Renault, Depping & Jørgensen, Hugo Passos and Marta Cruz have also created their signature pieces.

Trial Without Error

Hernán Cortes

The architect Hernán Cortés has begun to take on his own renovation projects where he manages all their different stages: from the acquisition of a space to its complete refurbishment.

Taking in the View

Introducing Issue Nº16

In this issue of Openhouse, “view” seems to appear over and over: 10AM Lofts scan a multi-millennial horizon, while Fondation Maeght’s view is closely focused through the lens of objects.

Une folie entre deux

SHON MOTT

The Mediterranean sea, the greenish blue hues born from the dialogue of colour between the water and the sky, its misty humidity and northern wind, are part of the creative journey of SHON MOTT.

Times are changing

Tina Frey Designs

For Tina Frey, using her hands and being in direct contact with the product are key when creating her pieces.

In the Mood for Cask

Expormim & Norm Architects

Norm Architects wanted to strengthen the iconic presence of each piece so they together will stand as one collection but would be also free as singular icons.

NEW DIRECTIONS

Cadogan Contemporary

The work of the gallery is changing, but it is still key in the art industry.

UNDER A DOME

at Cadogan Contemporary Gallery

‘Under a Dome’ is a first for artists Lorenzo Brinati and Leonardo Anker with Cadogan Contemporary, curated by Martino di Napoli Rampolla.
