“We strive to create environments that are serene, minimal, warm and sophisticated. We design and build projects exploring relationships between the built and the natural landscape. Our clients typically identify themselves within their environments by an acute awareness of the natural boundaries: ground, horizon and sky. Comparably, the built boundaries expressed in architecture consist of floors, walls and ceilings. By introducing the built into the natural, we explore the topological relationships of how architecture is situated in, on or above the ground. Views and connections from the interior to the exterior landscape are critical, and play an important role in the design process.”

Love the explanation above from the website of scrafano architects – check out the views from the windows below and it’ll all make perfect sense.

I came across the website of Eric Roth recently, a photographer whom Jo posted about almost a year ago. I was SO happy to discover many more breathtaking photos that I could post. The composition is so perfect in every one – highlighting the extra special features of each space. I must add that his portfolio contains some of the coolest kitchens and bathrooms I’ve ever seen.
