Dark Brooding Abodes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The T House by Tanju Ozelgin is a Modern Space

— March 22, 2014 — Art & Design
If the The T House were a person, you would think twice before crossing his or her path. This abode has a dark character that's intimidating to say the least.

The structure was done by Istanbul designer Tanju Özelgin, and much of the material is locally sourced, making this piece of architecture close to home in a number of ways. Concrete, stone and marble were the main pieces used, which helps to give the house its more ominous look. Moreover, modern sculptures have been placed throughout the house, turning it into a museum of sorts and aligning it with a futuristic look. The design also has quite an open floor plan, which helps warm up the look a bit and make it inviting to guests coming over for dinner parties.
