The Built Environment for Global Citizens

The New York Times recently featured a very cool stone and glass cottage on the island of Guernsey (off the coast near Normandy, France). What’s special about it is the opposition of old (15th century stone) and new (glass). Preserving the past while embracing the future always makes for interesting architecture.

The double height room with glass railing (pictured above) is also a great space and we’re currently designing a similar setup for one of our properties.
