    @eugenestoltzfus
    Eugene Stoltzfus Architects focuses on 21st Century architecture and furniture. In residential architecture we seek to integrate the context, site, views, light and the natural world into each project. We typically employ active and passive solar energy seamlessly into the architecture. In commercial architecture we see our buildings as literally building the public spaces of our cities and towns. Our furniture relies on simple geometries and reflects the natural beauty and strengths inherent in the materials we use. We seek sustainability in the materials we use, whether bamboo, cork, steel or timber.

  • Iterare arquitectos
    @iterarearquitectos
    Pedro Ponce and Rubén Gutiérrez lead a studio focused on the practice of an essential architecture, concerned with the context in which each work is located and its contemporary yet timeless reading. This particular approach to the architectural problem allows them to address projects in a broad range of scales and typologies: from the domestic sphere, housing architecture, public facilities and industrial architecture; to furniture, objects or even graphic design and art direction. Strict attention to detail and construction technique, thoughtful and restrained materiality, and the interpretation of context-specific elements are key aspects to Iterare’s work. Their projects always find common ground in the handling of light and climate, proportions, geometry, junctions and the rhythm of spaces. It is under this framework that even the most modest of objects is also capable of reflecting on broader and more fundamental aspects of life and dwelling.

  • Delugan Meissl Associated Architects
    @delugan_meissl_associated_architects
    The architecture of Delugan Meissl Associated Architects is much like language, in which meaning is constituted by the relationships among individual words. In contrast to other architectural philosophies, DMAA do not reduce this principle of hermetic language to a game in and of itself, but rather, they root it in their work with as many multivalent relationships between architecture and its contextual environment as possible, premiating the context of the building and the physical presence of its users. Directed and rigorous processes of design are guided from spatial perception to future users. Their architectural concepts and connections to the existing fabric are reminiscent of organisms entering into dialogue with the environment, as integral parts of an overall system. Inside and out, their concepts break down the order of conventional rooms into flowing, functionally defined spatial sequences. Volumes directly engage the body of the observer through their scale, the way they interact with gravity, geometry, and the way they “hint at the inexpressible”. Independent of size or function, the work of Delugan Meissl Associates Architects is consistently determined by these design concepts and theoretical principles. In this regard, Delugan Meissl Associate Architects are committed to developing the principle of intensification, along with ways to spatialize it and make it physiologically tangible. As opposed to a type of “representational form” of contemporary architecture that is geared primarily to the visual and to interpretive meaning, 'actual form' is generated, which, in its physiological effects on the senses and the body, follows the dictum: "Aesthetics is nothing more than the art of applied psychology."

    @hosslewoodworks
    We design & build modern furniture you will love now—and proudly hand down later. Part Mid-Century Modern, part Minimalist, all our own. | www.hosslewoodworks.com | Crisp, clean lines and smooth finishes are the warm heart of every handcrafted piece. Our signature exposed plywood edges, eye-popping joints, and unique wood tones energize classic materials and add some serious soul. We keep things simple by stripping down every design to the most essential elements - every detail in our pieces is carefully selected, and all the unnecessary embellishments are left out. We keep things clean by always working with, not against, geometry. The finishes we use leave the wood with a natural, matte feeling. Our furniture is timeless yet distinctively modern at the same time. We draw inspiration from mid-century design icons - Charles and Raye Eames, Isamu Noguchi, Paul McCobb, George Nelson, Hans and Florence Knoll, Frank Lloyd Wright, to name a few. But while our pieces certainly have mid-century elements, they’re not so easily categorized. We think our tagline says it all — Simple, Clean, Modern.

    Ms. Arolat comes from a family of architects. Born in Turkey, Ms. Arolat’s mother, father and brother, Emre Arolat are accomplished architects. Her greatest inspiration is her mother Saziment Sayilgan Arolat, who is a pioneer for women in architecture in Turkey. By entering the field of interior design, Ms. Arolat built upon her exposure and experience to the disciplines that comprise the work of an architect — engineering, physics, geometry, drawing – and took them to an even more artistic plane. Her degree in hotel and restaurant management provided her with a solid and practical grounding in business and hospitality. She went on to study interior design at the Parsons New School for Design in Paris and New York, where she further honed her skills in the human and artistic aspects of interior design, as well as the technical tools needed to transform a concept into a reality. Ms. Arolat has worked on a wide range of residential projects, from pieds–à–terre in Manhattan and private villas in Turkey to every space and room in several luxury hotels. Leveraging her background in restaurant and hotel management, Ms. Arolat has also created the interiors for several restaurants in New York and Istanbul. She has completed designs for multiple world-class hotels. These projects included full hotel interiors,: the lobby and reception areas, as well as hotel bars and restaurants, spas and saunas, outdoor spaces and pools, and every detail inside individual guest rooms. She also designed the interface between the hotel lobby and a premium retail concourse to create a seamless experience for hotel guests and shoppers alike. Two of her most recent projects are the spectacular Hilton Museum Hotel in Antioch, Turkey, the St. Regis Hotel in Maçka, Istanbul, and the Palmarina Bungalows in Yalikavak-Bodrum, Turkey. Ms. Arolat’s influences come from countless sources. Walks through New York City. Museum visits with her daughter. Dinner discussions with her brother and father.

  • Pacific Domes
    @pacificdomes
    DWELL MAGAZINE Multi-award winning Pacific Domes, Inc. is the original manufacturer of geodesic domes worldwide. Expanding on the both the architectural and philosophical concepts of the legendary engineer and futurist R. Buckminster Fuller, Pacific Domes has helped pave the way for the tiny home eco-revolution while shaping the dome industry for over 35 years. “A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist.” --R. Buckminster Fuller The American Institute of Architects calls the geodesic dome “the strongest, lightest and most efficient means of enclosing space known to man.” Its spherical form is composed of triangular facets, birthed from Buckminster Fuller’s goal of creating a structure analogous to nature’s own designs. Pacific Domes’ ambition is to promote the architectural integrity of the geodesic dome while showcasing beautiful and mathematically perfect geodesic geometry in structures that are futuristic, sustainable and visually inspiring. “When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.” --R. Buckminster Fuller Featured accommodations in world-class resorts across the globe, Pacific Domes’ dwell domes are designed to withstand any climate, so anywhere in the world you long to be, a dome can come with you. Each dome is custom designed to bring your ultimate vision to life. Choose from a wide selection of frames, cover materials, window designs, doors, floors and ventilation/insulation/heating options. For the eco-conscious and sustainably minded, domes have numerous angles of appeal, from their light eco footprint to energy efficiency. Because the ambient airflow inside the dome is continuous, with no stagnant corners, less energy is required to circulate air and maintain even temperatures. The energy required to heat and cool a dome is approximately 30% less than a conventional building. Thanks to high volume-to-surface-area ratio, less building materials are required to enclose more space. The lower the ratio of a building's outside perimeter to its enclosed living area, the less energy is required for building, heating and cooling. "Only an energy-efficient, resource-efficient design could work for everyone," - R. Buckminster Fuller.

    Goldiehome is a collection of eco-conscious homewares inspired by the geometry and tactility of nature. By fusing sophisticated design with environmentally-responsible practices, Goldiehome strives to set a new standard for organic modern luxury. Each piece is made from SKAL & GOTS certified organic cotton. Fibers are custom spun to achieve fine detail in jacquards and higher thread count sheetings. From the actual products to the packaging and collateral materials, Goldiehome aspires to make the best environmental choices within the framework of commercial manufacturing. Elana Bober is the Founder and Head Designer of Goldiehome. A graduate of Yale University and the Parsons School of Design, Elana worked for eight years in the home industry before founding Goldiehome. As Designer for Donna Karan Home Collection, she developed a keen sense of aesthetics and brand. As Director of Design for Keeco, Elana mastered global manufacturing processes. Goldiehome merges her expertise and innate sense of style with her love of the natural world. Organic CottonConventional cotton production uses more chemicals per unit area than any other crop and accounts for approximately 25% of the world's pesticides. Organic cotton is grown without pesticides and the seeds are not genetically modified. Today the word "organic" is often used loosely as a marketing handle. When Goldiehome uses the term we mean pesticide-free. Our cotton is certified by third party certification organizations: SKAL and GOTS. DyesWe discovered through our research that all natural vegetables dyes fade over time. We do not want to produce a luxury product with a limited life span, so we opted for conventional dying methods. We feel we've made the best choices possible. Although a number of chemicals are used in the dying/ finishing process, we only use chemicals and processes that are approved by certifying organizations in both Europe and India. As cleaner methods are tested and become available we will be sure to switch over. PackagingThis was a challenge! We long considered avoiding plastic all together. However, after much discussion we feel it is important for the consumer to see the product inside the bag. So we decided to investigate PVC alternatives. (We are avoiding PVC because chlorine, a main ingredient of PVC, is the source of many environmental health concerns. The generation of dioxin, a highly carcinogenic chemical produced in both the manufacture and disposal of PVC, has a bio-accumulative effect: it travels long distances without breaking down and concentrates as it moves up the food chain to humans.) The absence of chlorine alone does not make PVC vinyl alternatives the ultimate "green" polymers, but they are considerably less harmful. Our compromise: limit the use of plastic, use a less harmful plastic and reuse the bags. Our bags are made from hemp with a clear window made from PEVA (polyethylene vinyl acetate): a non-chlorinated plastic. We are impressed with the quality as well as the clean look of the bags and hope that you will reuse them for storing your linens or other personal items. Again, as better solutions become available we will be sure to change our constructions. PaperGoldiehome use 100% post consumer waste recycled paper. This is what you and I take to the recycling center: used paper that has been separated from solid waste to be recycled into new paper. We work with a green certified printer using soy-based inks. Pillow Inserts100% New Zealand wool with organic cotton covers. We opted for wool inserts because it is hypoallergenic and naturally resistant to mold, mildew, dust mites and bacteria. Also it is breathable and we like the hand feel! Green DrycleaningConventional dry cleaning is not green. The main ingredient, perchloroethylene (or perc), is a central nervous system depressant and is listed as a hazardous air pollutant under the federal standards. There are three less toxic alternatives, although none is without environmental effect. We recommend the liquid CO2 method. Avoid the wet cleaning method for anything with wool. For more specific information please read this article on the Consumer Reports/ Greener Choices website entitled "Cleaning Alternatives" 10/06. SustainabilityGoldiehome is not sustainable in the strictest definition of the word. The fact that we manufacture abroad and import our goods makes our processes not quite "green". We chose to work with factories abroad because they are trusted sources for environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing as well as having superior technical capabilities to produce high quality luxury products. In our quest for more sustainable methods we are looking for alternative sources. Once we find a good match we would like to bring our manufacturing to closer to home.
