“The owner’s affection for a stone outcropping on her property and the views from its peak inspired the design of this house. Conceived as a bunker nestled into the rock, the Pierre, the French word for stone, celebrates the materiality of the site. From certain angles, the house – with its rough materials, encompassing stone, green roof and surrounding foliage – almost disappears into nature.
To set the house deep into the site, portions of the rock outcropping were excavated using a combination of machine work and handwork. The contractor used large drills to set the outline of the building, then used dynamite, hydraulic chippers, a selection of wire saws and other hand tools, working with finer and finer implements as construction progressed. Excavated rock was re-used as crushed aggregate in the concrete flooring. Excavation marks were left exposed on all the stonework, a reminder of the building process.
With the exception of a separate guest suite, the Pierre functions on one main level, with an open plan kitchen, dining and living space. A wood-clad storage box (made with siding reclaimed from a Lionel Pries-designed house) transitions from outside to inside the house. Its two large bookcases open to provide concealed access to laundry and kitchen storage. A large pivoting steel and glass door opens for access to an outdoor terrace. Set at a right angle to the main spaces, a master suite features a custom designed bed with a leather headboard and footboard set in the middle of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
Throughout the house, the rock extrudes into the space, contrasting with the luxurious textures of the furnishings. Interior and exterior fireplace hearths are carved out of existing stone; leveled on top, they are otherwise left raw. The master bathroom’s sink is composed of water cascading through three polished pools in the existing stone. Off the main space, a powder room is fully carved out of the rock. A skytube is through to the top of the rock and topped by glass. A mirror set within the tube serves as a focal point, reflecting natural light into the space and connecting to a forged bronze sink.

A really great initiative against youth violence.
You can help by purchasing a T-shirt of various young designers (or just donate money).
An initiative, which also makes it even more fun.
Discovered in the Boxpark pop up mall in Shoreditch, London.

Gundula Schulze Eldowy – “Berlin hat mich zur Fotografin gemacht.” – A collection of Schulze Eldowy´s early works (1977 to 1990). A glimpse into the life of this time in East Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden. Socially critical, honest, hopeful and hard at the same time. Currently in the “c | o berlin”. Highly Recommended.
Also worth seeing in the same location: “Ron Galella. Paparazzo Extraordinaire.”
In cooperation with the illustrator Harry Slaghekke the MASH Brand Agency designed the new pinot (noir & grigio) packaging for Marauding Vintners. An interesting mafia style way to make wine become personalities.

Two years ago I discovered Gregory Crewdson in an exhibition. Every time I look at his pictures I’m rivited again by his intense view of things. I could look at his work for hours. Hundreds of stories forming in my head and discovering from time to time something new.
