Destined for the Dump, Construction Waste Gets New Life in the Garden
Construction waste has long been a bane of ecologically minded architects. So a trio of designers zeroed in on what they felt was a particularly egregious example: the “architectural mock-up.” Created before construction starts on a large real estate development, a mock-up is a one- to three-story model of a facade, often including windows, part of a roof and other features. It is used to test a design before embarking on a project, but afterward, it often ends up in a garbage heap. “These are brand-new, highly sophisticated, incredibly intelligent assemblages ready to have a new life,” said Ivi Diamantopoulou, an architect who, with her partner Jaffer Kolb, founded New…

The Broderbund program was part of an awkward, curious wave of computer-aided design (CAD) software adapted for the burgeoning home market (opens in new tab)—the average joe looking to redecorate and remodel in an exciting new digital world. I was already familiar with floor plans and architectural drawings from watching my mom at her drafting table. My mother made a valiant attempt to get used to the program, but as a diehard traditionalist, she eventually returned to working with her trusty pencil and paper. Suddenly…

Persuasion star Dakota Johnson’s kitchen changed my life
Many of my days start the same. To paraphrase You’ve Got Mail, I turn on my computer. I wait impatiently as it boots up. I go online, and my breath catches in my chest until I read three little words: Dakota Johnson’s kitchen. Unveiled in an instantly viral video for Architectural Digest in March 2020, the Suspiria star’s kitchen is the Garden of Eden without the preachiness. It’s a daydream. A mood. An olive-green utopia, presumably designed by an angel. I want to dive into it, eat it, squat in its cabinets like the world’s luckiest hobo. By now, Johnson’s Architectural Digest video has ceased being a meme. No one…

Bold color schemes bring original features to life in this historic home
Looking for a way to update their historic home in Newton Center, Massachusetts, the owners decided a glamorous, sexy and elegant look would be the way to go. They wanted to restore and enhance the property’s many original features, and a sympathetic interior décor, with added 2020s sass has transformed this into one of the world’s best homes. Before they could even begin to consider the fine design details, however, there were some major obstacles to overcome – namely stripping away the not very complimentary architectural elements that had been added to the house in the 1940s, 80s and 90s. The main culprit and biggest challenge was the old 1980s…
