Project • By Studio ST Architects • Synagogues
Skokie Valley Synagogue
The Skokie Valley Synagogue renovation transformed the sanctuary, built in 1963, from a dark and formal room to an ethereal, bright and ADA accessible space for a contemporary congregation. The renovation included the installation of new windows and HVAC system throughout the building, as well as converting the old, large stage into new, modern bathrooms and a coat room.

Project • By Arper SPA • Private Houses
Villa Wienberg
The intimate Danish summer house, designed by Mette and Martin Wienberg, is a rigorous play of light, material and volume. The design is simple and abstract; the hard lines of concrete and steel are tempered by the warmth of wood, and softened by leather and fur, white curtains, large windows, and soft lighting. The result is a sense of intimacy– a ‘warm cove’, beautiful, functional and cosy, where every family member can find their own space. It is unpretentious and simple, in harmony with tradition.
“If you have quiet rooms, the views of the garden look almost like paintings,” Mette says.
This portrait of rich minimalism called for very particular furnishings. The chairs would be almost the only true furniture – repeated, in differe... More
