Open the catalog to page 10significantly altered the understanding of luxury in Europe and the US. Quality of life and selfdetermined time as immaterial values have increasingly gained importance compared to the luxury provided by material values. Today, people want things to be more understated, more discreet, more comprehensive and hence ‘quieter’ (source: Brand Trust study “New Luxury and Brands Reloaded”). A different picture emerges if we have a look at China, where luxury is still something new. In China, there is a ‘fast and extroverted’ lifestyle, and distinction plays a greater role. The growing disparity in...
Open the catalog to page 11CÁDIZ HOUSE OF THE INFINITE
Open the catalog to page 12The villa in its minimalist setup is made from travertine, a nod by the Spanish architect Alberto Campo Baeza to the material used by the Roman settlers who were responsible for the expansion of the city of Cadiz almost two thousand years ago. Baeza imagined the house as “an acropolis, where the gods descend to converse with humans.” The house, indeed, resembles an archeological site, since half of the building is sunk deep in the desert and the accessible flat roof features detached walls which look like ruins. Inside, the design of the house remains austere yet modern, and the mainly open...

Open the catalog to page 15The Topo House, completed in 2013, perfectly fits into the surrounding natural setting, as it more or less directly blends in with the rolling hills of Wisconsin. The house rises into five interconnected open levels with an “observatory” at the top, providing a panoramic view of the surroundings. This unique building clearly shows how a house can merge with its context so that the boundaries between landscape and architecture are blurred. The exterior skin of the house features 190 aluminium fins that appear to change colour depending on light and shadow. Moreover, the fins also serve as a...
