David Howell (of New York’s DHD Architecture and Design) is one that we were familiar with back in 2007 thanks to Jo’s post, and I am re-discovering my love for his firm’s work again now that I’ve seen recent projects. The design foundation of the office is modernistic – an approach both naturalistic and modern that combines elemental and ecological forms with a minimized, sculptural architectural imprint… We do aim to instill spaces with certain principles: an appropriate bridging of indoors and outdoors; a wise and atmospheric use of light as a fundamental part of architecture; a sympathy for site and origin; an exciting use of materials; a marriage of the organic with the common and industrial. I LOVE these spaces – modern or classic and elegant but totally liveable. The kitchen in the first couple of photos is SO dreamy.
