RE RUIN
HOME BERLIN
art
Building their home amid the ruins of an abandoned GDR property in east Berlin gave artist Anselm Reyle and architect Tanja Lincke the chance to rediscover the beauty of creative freedom. The home and its surroundings are defined by the juxtaposition between Reyle’s maximalism and Lincke’s affinity for the raw beauty of functional materiality.
“OUR TASTES ARE CONTRARY, BUT WHEN WE DO THINGS TOGETHER IT’S PERFECTLY BALANCED. WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. IT*S NEVER A COMPROMISE.”
The story featuring the home and studio of Anselm Reyle and Tanja Lincke is in Ark Journal VOL III.

THE POWER OF GREY
— STUDIO OLIVER GUSTAV
A tribute to the poetic yet haunting atmospheres of the canvases of Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916), designer Oliver Gustav’s studio gallery is modelled on the oil-on-canvas interior paintings of the fêted Danish artist.
INSIDE THE MIND — JUDITH HAASE
Architect Judith Haase gets her creative sustenance from many sources: fearless women, avant-garde theatre, the proportions of a tatami mat, and spaces where light is a defining element.
STUDIO VISIT — CHRISTIAN VENNERSTRØM JENSEN OF BAHRAINI-DANISH
Ideas rather than looks lie at the heart of Christian Vennerstrøm Jensen’s design practice. As one of the trio behind the studio, Bahraini-Danish, the architect starts his explorations from a place of cultural duality.
