Complex of Two Houses

On the coast of northeastern Santorini, Kapsimalis Architects imagines the Complex of Two Houses. The pair of homes take the form of a natural rock formation, appearing to be carved out of the volcanic landscape. An exterior made from uncoated concrete and finished with earthy hues gives the facade a boulder-like appearance. Interiors continue the geological aesthetic with exposed cement walls and floors to mimic the feeling of living inside a rock, allowing wood-trimmed windows to frame in views of the landscape. Around the outside, dual outdoor spaces offer unique experience. A terrace at the rear provides a sunken seating area with a fireplace while the front balcony features a sun deck and swimming pool overlooking the Aegean Sea.

Veark CK20 Forged Chef's Knife

Merging the brand's Scandinavian heritage with Bauhaus design principles, the Veark's CK20 Forged Chef's Knife is the ultimate example of form and function. The sleek tool is drop forged in the knife-making town of Solingen, Germany, using a single piece of stainless steel. Along with supreme durability, the process also gives each piece a distinct look, making each one a unique work of art. Its handle borrows from traditional metal tools with a wrench-inspired design that allows the thumb to rest on the blade for enhanced balance and grip. Every knife is hand-sharped and fully symmetrical for both right and left-handed use.
