Rather than asserting a dominant gesture, the project follows the existing contours, organizing the house as a sequence of spaces structured around a central open void. At the heart of the design lies a square courtyard Perpetua Forma Architecture https://perpetuaforma.com/editorial/architecture/keshaw-mcarthur-openfield-house https://perpetuaforma.com/editorial/architecture/keshaw-mcarthur-openfield-house Thu, 09 Apr 2026 05:47:35 GMT At its core, Openfield House is defined by a simple proposition: what remains when architecture is reduced to its most permanent elements. The project distinguishes between what is fixed and what is temporary, imagining a future in which the lightweight components fall away, leaving behind a composition of stone objects embedded in the ground. This conceptual clarity is expressed through a series Perpetua Forma Architecture https://perpetuaforma.com/editorial/architecture/bard-yersin-the-inverted-farm https://perpetuaforma.com/editorial/architecture/bard-yersin-the-inverted-farm Thu, 26 Mar 2026 09:40:09 GMT The Inverted Farm by BARD YERSIN architectes is a conversion project in La Bruyère, Vuisternens-devant-Romont, that transforms a typical 19th-century regional farmhouse.

The setbacks and projections of these layers accommodate architectural and spatial needs, such as canopies, terraces, and railings. The expression of these layers is reflected in the cladding of local cedar planks that overlap, creating drop shadows on th Perpetua Forma Architecture https://perpetuaforma.com/editorial/architecture/noto-timmerdorfer-strand https://perpetuaforma.com/editorial/architecture/noto-timmerdorfer-strand Fri, 13 Mar 2026 11:50:56 GMT A steep, soaring roof with a deep eave and a central dormer above the entrance: at first glance, the building evokes the image of a primitive, archetypal thatched house. Only on closer inspection does it become clear that the wide, overhanging roof shelters not just one dwelling.

His objects instantly reveal a continuous search for the novel and undiscovered. Simplicity of form is well balanced with a gentleness that invites the touch and a modesty which speaks of a deep comprehension of materials and a desire to elevate their qualities.Jonas finds ins Perpetua Forma Furniture https://perpetuaforma.com/editorial/architecture/malte-kloes-architekten-borna-park https://perpetuaforma.com/editorial/architecture/malte-kloes-architekten-borna-park Fri, 13 Mar 2026 11:44:27 GMT At Borna-Park, everyday life unfolds in close dialogue with the surrounding landscape. Meadows, open fields, and the tree-lined Pfaffneren river frame the site, but nature here is more than a scenic backdrop—it becomes the defining identity of a residential and working community.
