It's the Towers House in Connecticut, by architect Ulrich Franzen. Very typical of a midcentury space, with low, long horizontal lines, and nearly uninterrupted glass creating an intimate relationship between the interior and nature. <br /><br />Particularly, the faceted, wood-paneled ceiling gives a depth and warmth to a style that many consider 'cold' and clinical. This juxtaposition of clean lines and organic elements has always appealed to me - modernity, tempered by nature! <br />These ideas carry over into everything from graphic design to fashion, and it's that idea of juxtaposition that draws me to something more often than not. Balance is the key.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7144683-3680097865222102060?l=www.luckyolive.com%2Findex.html' alt='' /></div>melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01537317427953988944noreply@blogger.com4
