The bird that puts the cloth in motion with a fast wing! Or is he ready to fly away? With this design we want to stimulate your imagination! The rough lines will allow you to create your own story. In her work Nanette wants to go beyond a beautiful picture. It’s a search for powerful shapes, colors and positions that are not aesthetics but achieve the right tension. A collection of layered illustrations builds into a being in its own context. Before creating a digital drawing, each design is hand drawn. It is essential that a design breathes life. The creative behind Inktvogel is Nanette Smeets. A graphic designer and artist with a thought flow that never sleeps. The tapestry free flight is part of our Collaborations collection.

History, revived. An early 19th century Dutch farmstead, nestled in the hillside of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, offered a storied canvas on which to layer replicated additions and contemporary components. Endowed with an extensive art collection, the house and barn serve as a platform for aesthetic appreciation in all forms.

Material Design Build recently completed this ground-up high-performance house in New York's Catskill Mountains. Designed by Barry Price Architecture, the building sits along the East Branch of the Delaware River, a renowned destination for fly fishing and bird watching. The house is a combination of parallel shed roofs that intersect to create a dramatic double-height living room and second floor with a library and study overlooking a tranquil pond. We wrapped the house in a rhythm of varying width cypress boards that give texture to the simple form. A steel staircase and a double-hearth woodstove complement the white walls and oak floors of the minimalist interior. The building uses principles of "passive house" construction, with thick layers of insulation (triple the building code minimum), a tightly sealed building envelope (.4ACH for the building science geeks), and triple-pane windows and doors to maximize energy efficiency. An all-electric ducted mini-split system heats and cools the house without the use of oil or gas, and a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) keep the interior air quality healthy and comfortable. The owners look forward to watching the seasons change through the massive living room windows of their new home.

Because this property is a rural, riverside acreage, the plantings were designed to naturalize themselves. Grasses are the "hair of the planet," wrote Oehme & Van Sweden in their iconic "Bold and Romantic Gardens." Grasses will be the first to take over a garden. This property is designed towards this reality. A few intentional ornamental grasses set up design rhythms and repetition just for that eventuality. When - not if - it happens, the grounds won't look weedy and overgrown between maintenance visits. The other plantings are a melange of opportunistic yet complimentary species, with a focus on foliage: Engleman ivy, Corsican violets, golden currant, columbines. Using native shrubs and forbs such as these ascribe to the reality of volunteer plants. Birds will spread them far and wide, so why not start there? What else evokes Colorado as well as the plants that thrive here?

This covered porch offered little relief from the Texas mosquitos. RPD designed the enclosure to maximize the space, while allowing great airflow. The screen completely closes in the patio so that no flying bugs (especially mosquitos) can enter the safe space. The water spicket was moved outside the enclosure, electrical outlets were added for lighting and an additional ceiling fans were installed.
