Leigh Sachwitz & Design Studio flora&faunavisions invites you to experience the rain drumming hard on the roof, watching through the window seeing dark clouds stacking up in the night sky.

‘White edge on brick’ is the small mixed-use building with five separate rental housing units and a two-story owner’s house and a retail space on the ground floor. The site for this project is located in a little old planned town, which is a part of the verge of the capital city, Seoul. As the continuous growth of the city, the boundary of Seoul is changing and the town is being redeveloped.
The client of this project dreamed to have his two-story house for various indoor and outdoor activities like a penthouse above the rental spaces. The architects suggested dissimilar colors, textures and materials of the façade to reflect two different purpose – rental or own space – on the street view. Furthermore, the combination of disparate shapes – classical brick box for economical rental residences, and trendy white trapezoid for distinctive luxurious house – consequentially maximizes their own program properties.
Once again, Japanese design practice Nendo has come up with an imaginative product that combines minimal design with a clever function. The studio’s latest ‘Trace Collection’ consists of a container, a counter and light, displaying the movements of everyday use in a poetic way. These furniture items can be modulated depending on your daily desires as a true ode to change and adaptability. Aiming to pay more attention to movements in spacial design, Nendo’s pieces were commissioned by and are part of the Collective Design fair in New York City. Made from wood, the visible movement traces are made from metal.
