A pattern we’re got our eye on: striated terra-cotta bricks and tiles as warm, textural, completely modern-day wall covering. Here are 3 locations we have actually identified the appearance just recently– and where to discover something comparable.
The Sightings
Above: Sighting 1: In A Minimalist Longhouse on Denmark’s Fanø Island by Copenhagen-based practice Lenschow & & Pihlmann, textured clay obstructs function as the only design. Picture by Hampus Berndtson, thanks to Leschow & & Pihlmann
Above: We identified a comparable appearance in A New Red Hook Condominium In Tune with the Community’s History, where terracotta bricks line the kitchen area walls– simply among the products that makes the new-build area appearance anything however. Terracotta bricks have much better energy and sound efficiency, according to Ground Architecture’s Eli Fernald, and include a warm radiance. Picture by Hollister Hovey
Above: Then the tiles turned up a 3rd time, in A Visitor Home and Residency at Château de la Haute Borde in the Loire Valley (imagined likewise in the included image above), where MPM Architecture sourced products from previous work websites to reduce both expense and waste. “We desired big, open showers made from natural products,” states Cécile Simon, among the art directors behind the job. “The walls are insulation bricks; they do not require to be covered. We liked the easy lines and touch of the clay.” Picture thanks to CBH.
