Ark Journal Vol. XII explores the profound connection between home and design, delving into how architecture, materials, and craftsmanship shape not only physical spaces but also emotions and daily life. This volume examines how modern design integrates traditions to create authenticity and meaning, fostering atmospheres that inspire creativity and contemplation.

Among the featured homes are a New York townhouse infused with Danish sensibility, a brutalist concrete house in Antwerp with a cinematic allure, and a residence in San Miguel de Allende, where light and shadow reflect the surrounding landscape. Two Berlin apartments, both centered around art, showcase different approaches to design and living.

The issue also includes a visit to Jun Takahashi’s studio/home, where the Japanese fashion visionary balances chaos and order in his creative process. Additional features include an interview with Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at MoMA, an exploration of the future of collectible design, the watercolors of Ylva Carlgren, and an in-depth look at the vernacular chair.

Ark Journal Vol. XII is a thought-provoking exploration of how spaces, objects, and artistic expression shape contemporary life.
