Minimalist logistics center by Jarosch Architektur

Have a look at this exceptional piece of architecture – a logistics center for Partyrent, which was designed by the German studio Jarosch Architektur. It is located in Frankfurt, Germany, features black lacquered tiles from the outside and a mostly white interior. This little anecdote by a trainee is simple proof that this building can easily be seen as something completely different from a logistics center:

“Even if its dedication doesn’t date back long, the new premises of Partyrent are no secret anymore. “A friend yesterday told me proudly, that he discovered a new, cool and noble top-disco” reports Fridjof Kaul, trainee at Partyrent. “But I had to answer simply: You dork, that’s my workplace.” the apprentice goes on.”

Have a look at this prime example of minimalist architecure. The plus house was designed by Japanese architects studio Mount Fuji and is based on a reinforced concrete structure. It is located on the mountainside of Izu-san, has a nice view over the Pacific Ocean and is mainly used as a weekend home. Yeah, you heard me…it is “just” a vacation home to someone and I wonder how the primary home of that owner looks like.

Have a look at these intriguing photos by Danish photographer Kim Høltermand. He mainly focuses on architecture photography and I really like the way he captures the strong geometric shapes of the various buildings. Below you can only find a small selection of some of his work, so make sure to check out his website or his Behance portfolio in order to see all of it. Please let me know in the comments, what you think of it and if you know any similar portfolios, which could be featured here.
