The Moore House Monthly 8-27-21

We’re back with our recurring blog column! If you’re new here, at the end of each month(-ish) we’ll be rounding up all of the articles, designs, reveals, and more that have inspired us in the past thirty days. As we’ve mentioned this mid-winter term is going to be a busy one for our team with lots of new projects to come this spring! Here’s what caught our attention in the midst of the organized chaos that always is the first month of the new year. Happy reading and stay tuned…

• Australia day was Wednesday so it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t throw a few things in for the roots, right? Designed by the Australian firm Kerstin Thompson Architects (KTA), the new Art Museum and Bridge for Creative Learning is intended to respond and adapt to both current and future climate disasters. Bundanon, the 1,000-hectare arts destination in regional New South Wales, Australia, is taking sustainability to a rather unheard of level… and the design is fantastic. It feels modern, yet also pays homage to the classic station-style architecture seen throughout much of the country — corrugated tin roofs forever. Read the full Article from AD here.
  

• More from the land of Auss — The Coolamon House by DFJ Architects Byron Bay. We’re definitely a little late on this one, but this sustainable, open-air, Tweed Caldera abutting home has to be here for the central oasis-style courtyard garden.

• If you couldn’t help but wonder what makes a home feel like home… then you’re in for a good read. Alan Eckstein of the Somerset House and his wife have an unsurprisingly perfectly curated apartment in Long Island City. Check out the full article on the home of this power couple here.

"Any period of sobriety is generally followed by heady abandonment"…

• Many of you are probably interested in design trends, and we’d be lying if we said we didn’t look at them too. This article from Dezeen is a solid read on how trends and interior design psychology are evolving in the *dare we say* post-pandemic world.

• The wonderful thing about design is that there is always a place to experiment and play. This piece features a round-up of interiors that focus on the way glass allows light and shadow to play. A lot of these interiors feel very Japanese as the glass forms are a bit reminiscent of the shoji screens seen throughout traditional Japanese design. We love the traditional element as well as these glass modern takes.

• Have you seen this Oregon Beach House by Anne McDonald Design? It’s a laid-back coastal pad full of terracotta tones and wonderful vintage pieces. As you know, we’re big fans of exposed natural wood ceilings so we’re totally vibing with her use of warmer wood tones throughout the space.

• Kyiv-based designer Rina Lovko’s use of materials is giving us the stunning minimalist energy we need to slow down, and really hone in on the details. When there is less in a space it gives the opportunity for certain elements to speak louder and more clearly… that doesn’t mean it is without high notes and base notes however. Have a look at her feed for yourself.

• Organic forms seem to be stealing the show (and our hearts) lately with their groovy vibes. We’re seeing them across the board in the design of furniture, lighting, staircases… pretty much everything is feeling a bit softer.

• A sculpturally modern take on lighting featuring your grandma’s favorite pastime — crocheting. Naomi Paul’s lighting collections are perfection. Honestly, how can we not be obsessed?

• Mile high chimneys will forever have us swooning because they’re just so darn dramatic and this Hamptons Modern project by Chango and Co is *chef’s kiss*. https://www.instagram.com/changoandco/?hl=en
