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.

TAILORED INTERIOR
In the small Belgian village of Itegem, interior architect Peter Ivens discovered a unique and exotic villa with well-preserved 1920’s details reminiscent of a classical British colonial style – a central stairway, symmetrical plan, alcove windows, hipped roof and upper dormer windows.
CASE STUDY
— MONUMENTAL MONOCHROME
The enduring aesthetic of Danish furniture has always been entirely in step with other contemporary design practices, ceramics, glass, textiles, and particularly architecture.
LANDON METZ
Space is important to Landon Metz. In his art, pools of colour float across canvas leaving vast areas of unprimed fabric. In his studio the same sense of space – and the importance of the negative – is evident in the blanks between sparsely scattered furniture and plants.
