Mastery of Light & Shadow, Views and More

Greetings from Sahar

Welcome to our July newsletter. We hope that you find it an interesting, educational, and fun way to keep in touch with us.

At the time of his passing, Louis Kahn was considered to be the most one of the most prominent and influential architects in the world. His mastery of natural light and shadow are almost unrivalled. As the light changes through the day and seasons, the forms and spaces he created are continually transformed.

The small house he designed for Margaret Esherick in 1959 is considered to be an iconic work of Kahn's encapsulating his architectural vision and providing a wonderful solution for Ms. Esherick's desire for a one bedroom house full of books and reading nooks. Ms. Escherick owned and operated a bookstore and was an avid reader.

It is also possible to give credit to Mr. Kahn for developing some of the first mini-house ideas. For instance, the bathtub can be hidden under a sliding frame with a mattress so that it can become a bed. Click on the link to see and read more.

The consequence of inadequate upfront research of needs and options is like building a house on bad foundations. It's very expensive to change the foundations once you have started to build on top of them. But on the other hand, it's very easy to change them if they are simply lines on a plan.

This is what makes us different. We spend more time on the research than most other firms who rush their clients into the design phase. We take a different approach. Please click on the button and watch the video to learn more.

After traveling the world on an artistic quest, Max Dauphin has settled in Luxembourg, creating figurative art work using mixed techniques and big formats in the ateliers of the Bamhaus collective. Selected among their residents for this exhibition, Max Dauphin has been greatly inspired by Carl Jung’s theory: The title, Inside Out, thus refers to the journey of introspection, examining one's own conscious thoughts and feelings.

The exhibit will be open daily from 11 am to 6 pm until September 1st at neimënster (Centre Culturel de Rencontre Abbaye de Neumünster). Click on the image to learn more.
