The Flower House is our new hand made glass vase.
While the glass seems to delicately balance on a narrow line from one angle, it stands like a solid rectangle from another. The pitched shape make the vase appear like a house turned upside down.
Amber, green, and transparent colors are chosen to refer to the 19th century architecture of bricks and glazed tiles that defines the narrow Berlin courtyards where the vases are produced.
Each vase is stamped with a serial number, indicating the generation of mold that was used in the production. Each mold can be used for a limited edition of 50 unique vases.
This week we received the building permission for a hotel on the island Crete including a house for the family who will run the hotel. The buildings are located in the mountains south of Rethymno.

Location: Spili, Crete, Greece.
Completion: 2023.

This month we received the building permission for a house near Næstved in Denmark. The idea behind the house is to reuse the walls of an existing basement as a natural pool and build the new house around it. The house consists of two levels; one in stone that is built into the hillside, and one in wood that sits on top of the hill so the full panoramic view of the surrounding landscape can be experienced.
The construction is expected to start in Autumn 2021.
Location: Næstved, Denmark.
Completion: 2023.
More information coming soon.
