From Breathable Mesh Facades to Folded House Structures
Jana Pijak — June 1, 2019 — Art & Design
These June 2019 modern trends range from folded house structures to breathable mesh facades that embody a stripped-down, minimalist design aesthetic. While examples like Fieldwork's residential project in Melbourne highlight a metal facade that allows for a unique diffusion of light, Takashi Yamaguchi & Associates' folded house design is the epitome of understated elegance.
Located in the heart of Japan's Hyogo Prefecture, the folded house boasts a washed-out, all white design and stands at two floors, mimicking "the Möbius loop which is known as a surface that has only one sound and only one boundary." Fala Atelier's minimalist apartment building in Abragão, Portugal is another understated masterpiece that is all about simple and economic material choices.
Incorporating stripped down design ideas in new ways, French designer Elissa Lacoste creates another notable example -- a collection of human flesh-themed seating -- mirroring the look and texture of human skin without losing sight of function.
