New projects from mode: lina

Posted on Sun, 15 Apr 2018 by KiM

I wanted to share a couple of new projects by super creative Polish architecture firm mode: lina. I love how it’s completely obvious that these guys just like to have fun and think people should enjoy their environment, even if it is where you work. This first workspace is that of Brain Embassy – a co-working and creative space in Warsaw. Wow the energy of this space is amazing! Great colours and industrial vibe and lots of versatile spaces to grow that business into something totally awesome. Note the play on “synapses” throughout.





This next project is the new mode: lina offices located in a modernized townhouse in the trendy and fast developing Poznań neighbourhood. With a minimalist and monochromatic palette, this just goes to show how cool this team is. This is all they need.





The exterior of this home blew me away, but how San Antonio-based architecture firm Poteet Architecture updated the interior left me speechless. A fantastic example of taking something old, preserving the elements that should be saved and updating the rest for a young family. This isn’t your granny’s house anymore!

The carriage + pool house is as awesome as the main house. LOVE!!!

Downtown Abbey

Posted on Tue, 10 Apr 2018 by midcenturyjo

No not Downton Abbey, Downtown Abbey. Tucked up under the eaves of a former church parish house in the Stuyvesant Square neighborhood of New York City, this penthouse duplex apartment with its exposed steel work and the light flooding in from windows in the steep sloping ceilings is bright, stylish and full of fun. Design is by AM/MOR Architecture.

Concrete, wood and nature

The modern and simple architecture of this home is appealing to my inner minimalist. Add these massive doors and windows opening to a courtyard and this is about as close to heaven as you can get. By Parisian architecture and design firm Le LAD.
