Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Place of residence for a pilot and his wife, who works from home, and their two young children, the other more practical reason for the curves was to “create child friendly spaces by omitting sharp corners,” according to architects EHKA Studio.

In the kitchen a curved wall conceals the fridge and the study, next door, has a curved glass wall that allows it and the space adjacent to “borrow” space from each other and give the illusion of spaciousness.
