Beauty

There is a visceral, grounding  experience to hefty walls, regardless of their colour and texture.  There is beauty in the inner sanctuary provided.

Beauty in scale — Telenor 345 Head Office
Beauty in wild colour — SE Wyoming Welcome Center
Beauty in no colour — Ima residence
Beauty in moderation — Canadian rainforest waterfront home
Beauty in landscape — Kawakawa park facilities

On Beauty

  • “Open your mind to the possibility that the walls of your building can be thick, can occupy substantial volume – even actual usable space – and need not be merely thin membranes which have no depth.”

    Christopher Alexander
    Co-author, Pattern Language
  • “Beauty is less important than quality.”

    Eugene Ormandy
    Conductor
  • “The good building is not one which hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was built.”

    Frank Lloyd Wright
    Architect, USA, Mid 20th Century
