Architectural drawings serve the obvious purpose of conveying specific information in a linear and direct manner. I also believe that they serve the additional purpose of letting everyone know that I take my drawings seriously and they had better take them seriously as well. That sounds serious, doesn’t it?

The White House by WT Architecture is on Scotland’s Isle of Coll. The original stone house was built in the mid-1700s and was abandoned in the mid-1800s. When the current owners inherited the building, they found roofless ruins with lots of cracks but an intact basic structure. The architects advised the clients to preserve the ruins and build the living spaces around them. “There was no economic means of closing the main cracks,” the architects said. “It was also felt

Stark, cold and boring? Simple, sleek and sexy? Regardless of how you view minimalist interior design, there’s more to this widely embraced concept than most of us think. Delving into the theory of “less is more,” we need to rethink minimalism as not just a plain white box or cool ultramodern space, but as a concept that simultaneously showcases exceptional functional design while artistically creating a simplified way to live.
