RE RUIN
HOME BERLIN
art
Building their home amid the ruins of an abandoned GDR property in east Berlin gave artist Anselm Reyle and architect Tanja Lincke the chance to rediscover the beauty of creative freedom. The home and its surroundings are defined by the juxtaposition between Reyle’s maximalism and Lincke’s affinity for the raw beauty of functional materiality.
“OUR TASTES ARE CONTRARY, BUT WHEN WE DO THINGS TOGETHER IT’S PERFECTLY BALANCED. WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. IT*S NEVER A COMPROMISE.”
The story featuring the home and studio of Anselm Reyle and Tanja Lincke is in Ark Journal VOL III.

CASE STUDY
— DISSONANT BEAUTY
As in music, interior design calls on many elements – rhythm, contrast, repetition – to create that most subjective of visions: beauty.
CINCINATTI MODERN
High on a hillside in Cincinnati, sits a two-storey modernist wonder by two unsung heroes of American architecture, built for an art collector in the 1980s and that has been given a sensitive makeover to accommodate the collection of its second owner.
CREATIVE TRANSITIONS
Based on the loops and twists of the Möbius strip, an icon of mid-century Mexican design has become an integral part of the creative process for its custodian, designer and ceramicist Perla Valtierra.
