Contained.

Dramatic is right. Yet completely inviting. I love the colors.



“A city is so gray,” Ms. Abramovic said. “Green is healing to the eye.” When the cube is closed, she noted, it glows a soft blue-green, like a “light box.”

The best part.

Color Block

There is just something wonderful about the blocks of bold color against the local architecture.

Don't forget about Detroit.





Mies van der Rohe Lafayette Park - Homes - Dwell
Detroit, most recently known only for its decline, its exciting to see such a nice write up in Dwell. As much as most of the sad rumors hold true, there is still a depth and beauty to this city. For example, Lafayette Park, home to one of the most beautiful townhouse complexes designed by Mies van der Rohe. A truly gorgeous reminder of a once great city with style.

"Within a sprawling, decentralized city that has suffered near-disastrous decline, this racially and economically diverse enclave just northeast of downtown has not only aged gracefully but today flourishes with new life." ~Sam Grawe // Dwell Magazine

Detroit will always be home.
