Graphic designers put their talents to the design of a bold new office building in Amsterdam

Upon entry a wooden cuboid protrudes out marking guest entry to the house, inside is a perfect 14’X14’X14’ cube formal drawing room.The living space is flanked by double height dining area which overlooks the neat garden sweeping inside. The play of volume and the geometry... More
