Living on the Edge… In A Circle :: Gemini Residence

October 27, 2015 · In: Architecture

When you think about living on the edge, you might imagine a cabin perched on the edge of a cliff, a penthouse suite with glass floors, or even the new trendy container homes, but what about a circle?  I have, admittedly, had a little bit of an obsession and fascination with the Gemini Residence, which is a converted Seed Silo project overlooking Copenhagen.  These are private homes and the building is not open to the public, and I may have recently declared that I would be banging on a stranger’s door soon if I didn’t find a way in, but, as fate would have it, no jail time was necessary to get in for these shots.  (Thank God.  I look awful in orange.)

I was invited in to shoot a home that I will also be sharing with you, but before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s chat about round buildings…  Because, the idea of a round architectural structure is not new (the colosseum has been around for a year or two, at least!) and Copenhagen even boasts about it’s round tower, but the Gemini Residence is an extraordinary feat of shape, texture, color (or near lack there of) and sheer genius when it comes to making the most of an existing outside shell.

The round shape brings uniformity and calm, which is subsequently broken up by placing the stairs in varying patterns around the circle.  Consistency without boring expectancy.  I love that.  Little details, such as the lights, the ribbed affect on the balconies, and the natural cement material all play a role in creating a unified yet complex structure.  I think it’s brilliant, don’t you?

I cannot wait to print some of these photos and add them to some of my more feminine spaces, though they could work just as beautifully in a traditional library as well.  (I will have my photography shop open soon, but contact me if you are interested in a print now.  All prints will be sold in limited editions.)

Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just getting started!! 🍂 🎃 

Comment FALL to get the links! 👏🏽 🍁 

Guys! Fall is here and I’m enjoying this year more than any before!! The leaves are just starting to change and even as I watch one little lonely leaf falling, the excitement and anticipation of the fall spectacle of leaves is making me jump up and down! 

I know! So silly but it’s just so beautiful, isn’t it?! I love the warmth, the coziness, the soup bubbling on the stove, the warm candlelight flickering in the evening light, the pumpkin cakes baking in the oven, the long cozy nights spent cuddling on the couch under the fur blankets (and laughing as someone sticks their cold toes on the other’s leg! Ewww hahaha) 

I’m 1000% here for it and I’m soaking up every single second!!!

I hope you are enjoying the season as well! 

Sending a big hug and a kiss for each cheek! XxV

Guys!! If there’s one thing I love about decorating - it’s decorating for free! Your backyard (or even front yard!) are full of great decor! Nature walks become a treasure hunt and your world inside your home can reflect all the beautify of the outdoors. 

Your vessels, vases, bowls, trays… they all become art with these additions!

But why stop there?! What about the food you eat? Bowls of nuts, trays of dried fruit, vessels overflowing with butternut squash and pumpkins?! Eeekkk! It’s all so beautiful! It’s such an honest way to create seasonal decor while also making seasonal living even better! 

Your books? Don’t leave them sitting crammed on a shelf! Open them up to a favorite page that inspires you to live well and even what’s on the menu this week!

The best things in life really are free and you wouldn’t believe the things you can use to create these magnificent moments of joy in your life!

The only question now is… should we make butternut squash chili, butternut squash soup in sourdough bowls or roast them with maple & brown sugar? 

Love you all! XxV

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!
