While we’ve paid plenty of attention to in our backyard’s design, with new plantings and furnishings, we’ve done very little with our front yard. It’s in need of a makeover, and we’ve decided that this is the year we will tackle it. Our home is a 1964-Streng, a mid-century modern home that resembles the Eichlers […]

How can a military landscape become an interesting experience for visitors? The plan by H+N+S embraces all distinctive existing characteristics: openness and scale, roughness, debris, bomb craters, machines and so forth. The previous use evidently made a mark on the topography and H+N+S introduced human scale features by following the rules of uniformness and clarity. This blend contributed to the feeling of emergency that is simulated in the military exercises that are being carried out for the sake of the visitors.

Capture the essence of the Scottish Highlands with this vibrant print inspired by Glen Feshie in the summertime. The scene is a feast for the senses, with lush, rolling hills bathed in the warm glow of the sun. At first glance, one is struck by the bold dabs and strokes of colour that give the landscape its texture and depth, characteristic of the Impressionist style. The painting showcases a meandering river, its surface reflecting the azure sky, creating a shimmering pathway lined with stones and boulders. The riverbanks are adorned with splashes of pink and purple heather, intermingled with the verdant greens of grass and trees—an ode to the rich tapestry of wildflowers and foliage that decorate the Scottish summertime. Majestic mountains rise in the background, their slopes creating a dramatic contrast of light and shadow, suggesting the grandeur and rugged beauty of the Highlands. Overhead, billowy clouds drift lazily in a sky that transitions from a light cerulean to deeper hues, hinting at the vast, open expanse above. A solitary cluster of trees stands guard on the left, their canopies heavy with the lushness of summer leaves, sheltering the land beneath. These natural sentinels offer a sense of scale and solitude, emphasising the tranquil and untouched nature of the scene. This print evokes the timeless beauty of Glen Feshie, inviting the viewer to step into a world where nature's palette comes alive. It's a stunning representation of Scotland's natural splendour during the most vibrant of seasons, making it an ideal addition for those who appreciate the scenic charms of the Scottish landscapes.

A 50cm barrier along any beach can radically change natural dynamics, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. In the case of Hvidovre beach, the grassy area is a former landfill so this simple element is solving a number of problems whilst opening new uses. VEGA collaborated with Karin Lorentzen, a super-interesting Danish artist that designed the concrete wall. The result is an interesting and playful landscape element and I'm reminded of the Catherine Mosbach's approach to form-finding - a little bit. Smuk!
