Matsuki Matsuki residence interior design by HEAD Architecture

HEAD Architecture combined two apartments in Hong Kong to make a new home for a new family. They designed it so that the rituals of family life – bathing, playing, eating, sleeping – can be thoroughly re-evaluated, with an open-plan sequence of simple flexible spaces facilitating the informal flow and changing requirements of an expanding family.

Apartment is made to look so cosy at night time through the wonderful use of lighting.

14.36 Round Pendant

The 14 Series are a family of low voltage pendant lighting products designed to be clustered in groups. Each individual pendant is an articulated, seamed, cast glass sphere with a frosted cylindrical void which houses a 10 watt xenon or halogen lamp. Unlike most contemporary lighting, the 14 Series pendants are visually quite subtle in and of themselves – they do not dominate a room. Instead, they are designed for clustering – gaining tremendous visual strength when multiplied – the effect being of many tiny candles encased in floating spheres of water. The light interacts with the imperfections and bubbles of the cast glass to make a visually rich halo of light. Cast glass is an organic process – imperfect by nature – so each piece produced is unique.

I love looking through the eyes of New York-based fashion photographer Rony Shram. Masterfully using soft lighting along with shadows, Shram’s images are subtly magnificent. Looking at his photographs, it’s apparent he has a sharp eye for finding beauty.
