Ivar Kvaal Photographs Europe’s First Restaurant On The Sea Floor

Ivar Kvaal Photographs Europe’s First Restaurant On The Sea Floor

by Lexi Taciak
Strap on your swimmies because Norwegian photographer Ivar Kvaal is literally taking us under the sea in this Project of the Week. Not only does the exterior of Snøhetta's restaurant Under just descend into the ocean like it's starring in The Hunt For Red October, but inside, you dine in a lair fit for a supervillain.
Casey Dunn Photographs Nevada’s New Architectural Mecca

Casey Dunn Photographs Nevada’s New Architectural Mecca

by Lexi Taciak
Just nine miles south of the razzle and dazzle of Las Vegas lies Henderson, Nevada. This sweeping desert town houses fossils, state parks, and an architectural gem: Ascaya. Although it broke ground in 2004, Ascaya – a luxurious custom home community – screeched to a halt during the recession.
Murray Fredericks Photographs A One-Of-A-Kind Residence in North Bondi

Murray Fredericks Photographs A One-Of-A-Kind Residence in North Bondi

by Lexi Taciak
Australian architecture is such an interesting mix of modern and tropical design. Built to contend with the harsh temperatures and elements, these homes are never boring and almost always beautiful. Enter Murray Fredericks and his series on Bondi House by the architects at CplusC.When
How And Why We Curate Project of the Week

How And Why We Curate Project of the Week

by Lexi Taciak
Project of the Week has been a staple of Architectural Photography Almanac since the beginning, so we thought it was time to let you in on the process. How do we choose the projects to share with you? Where do we find them? Why does any of this even matter?
Project of the Week: Tom Blachford’s Midnight Modern Series

Project of the Week: Tom Blachford’s Midnight Modern Series

by Lexi Taciak
Tom Blachford's Midnight Modern project stopped me dead in my tracks. It is essentially everything I love in the universe, wrapped up in one otherworldly series. Mid-century architecture & classic cars, all captured by moonlight.
Project of the Week: James Florio / Cazú Zegers

Project of the Week: James Florio / Cazú Zegers

by Lexi Taciak
Patagonia is one of the most extreme and beautiful places on this planet. It’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit, so lucky for me, the masterful James Florio is taking us on a visual adventure to an incredible hotel there. This week’s featured project takes place at architect Cazú Zegers Hotel Tierra Patagonia.
Project of the Week: Maíra Acayaba / Frederico Sabella Arquitetura

Project of the Week: Maíra Acayaba / Frederico Sabella Arquitetura

by Lexi Taciak
This week we're back in Brazil, but this time with the great Maíra Acayaba. Three hours outside of São Paulo lies the Gonçalves municipality, home to our featured project, Casa Gonçalves by Frederico Sabella Arquitetura. Maíra Acayaba has a stellar body of work as a whole, but Casa Gonçalves is hands down my favorite series. Perched on top of the highest mountain in the Gonçalves region, the house sits among the clouds. Maíra had to split the shoot into two days to combat the fast-moving fog and cloud cover that came and went.
Project of the Week: Åke E:son Lindman / Kolman Boye

Project of the Week: Åke E:son Lindman / Kolman Boye

by Lexi Taciak
On this episode of Project of the Week, we’re teleporting you to the Norwegian wilderness. Keeping in line with last week’s moody & broody theme, Swedish architectural photographer Åke Lindman has documented Kolman Boye's Vega Cottage complete with foggy exteriors and soft-lit interiors. The atmosphere of this set renders it worthy of Project of the Week, so let's dive on in!
Project of the Week: Arch-Exist Photography / Xiao Yin Architecture Design Firm

Project of the Week: Arch-Exist Photography / Xiao Yin Architecture Design Firm

by Lexi Taciak
Xiao Yin Architecture Design Firm's "Ranwu Lake Campsite" has been so masterfully documented by the crew at Arch-Exist Photography that I felt like I was transported there, and I can't stop looking at this set of photographs. What I admire most about this series by Arch-Exist is how they captured the structures of the campground in tandem with the environment of Ranwu Lake, all with plenty of mood. Contrary to most architecture photography that's put out into the world, this set is dark and deep and a bit otherworldly feeling.
Project of the Week: Danica O. Kus / NMOQ / Ateliers Jean Nouvel

Project of the Week: Danica O. Kus / NMOQ / Ateliers Jean Nouvel

by Lexi Taciak
Feast your eyes on the National Museum of Qatar, a structure masterfully designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel, and documented in equal mastery by Slovenian photographer Danica O. Kus. The museum is an enormous sprawling building that looks out onto the Persian Gulf. A union of various "disks," the museum is subject to such interesting highlights and shadows thrown by the harsh Qatar sun. The time of day Danica chose to photograph the exterior shows off the dimensionality of the building nicely.
Project of the Week | Montse Zamorano / Malka+Portús Arquitectos

Project of the Week | Montse Zamorano / Malka+Portús Arquitectos

by Lexi Taciak
In this Project of the Week, photographer Montse Zamorano makes a gas station look - dare I say - sexy! The flagship CEPSA fueling station by Malka + Portús Arquitectos in Spain is a sight to behold. Montse did a perfect job of conveying the station's beautiful design overhaul, focusing on the new tech, usability, and the focal point of the entire project, that incredible canopy.
Project of the Week | Rafaela Netto / FGMF Architects

Project of the Week | Rafaela Netto / FGMF Architects

by Lexi Taciak
Rafaela Netto is an architectural photographer working in São Paulo who is rated one of the top up and coming female visionaries in the industry. I wholeheartedly agree. She is a master of using framing to show off the environment of her projects, and each piece in her portfolio gives off an interesting sense of place.
Project of the Week: Simone Hutsch | heysupersimi

Project of the Week: Simone Hutsch | heysupersimi

by Lexi Taciak
There are so many more facets of architectural photography than just shooting sublimely lit modern homes or hotel exteriors; in fact, even the most beautiful of those can start to feel a bit stale after a while. When I saw German photographer/designer Simone Hutsch’s minimal architecture photos, I couldn’t get enough of them.
Project of the Week: Dave Kulesza / Mckimm

Project of the Week: Dave Kulesza / Mckimm

by Lexi Taciak
On this fine Project of the Week, we're featuring Dave Kulesza's photographs of Mckimm's project #344 - The Howitt House. The first thing that catches my attention is the great tonal balance of this image. I love the warmth of the natural cedar contrasted by the cool concrete forms.
Project of the Week: György Palkó / Tóth Project

Project of the Week: György Palkó / Tóth Project

by Lexi Taciak
It’s April 18th. Your taxes are (hopefully) filed, the weather is great, and it’s time for Project of the Week! This week’s featured project hails from Hungary. Villa SZE was created by the architectural firm Tóth Project. I was immediately drawn to this series because of the way photographer György Palkó displays the colors and shapes throughout the home.
Project of the Week: Owen Raggett / W Xian by AB Concept

Project of the Week: Owen Raggett / W Xian by AB Concept

by Mike Kelley
I saw this project by Singapore-based photographer Owen Raggett and immediately raised an eyebrow and mouthed “holy shi—“. It’s kind of mind-blowing from both an architecture and photography standpoint, and I couldn’t resist sharing Owen’s exemplary photographs of the project.W
