Kobe, Japan
Tadao Ando’s brutalist ballet. Concrete poetry set into the mountain, each unit a meditation in light and space.

THE ROKKO HOUSING COMPLEX

Tunis, Tunisia. Where Roman mosaics meet Islamic geometry. A former palace turned museum vaulted ceilings, marble courtyards, and timeless craftsmanship.

THE BARDO MUSEUM

A mid-century jewel tucked in the heart of Milan. Polished terrazzo, walnut panels, and Italian restraint this home whispers power in perfect proportion.

INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE
