Casa da Escrita - a literary abode

Great renovation project by Portuguese architect office João Mendes Ribeiro. We are in Coimbra, a city famous for its medieval university. This carefully restored historic building houses now an open literature archive and creative writing workshops. A place where writers can live for a while, learn, exchange ideas... and create.

    I really like the stark contrast of the traditional architectural elements and the modern furniture.

    I love the purity of walls and floors in contrast with the dark furniture and the profile of Jacobsen's light

    oh my, what an absolutely fantastic architecture and interior!!!!
    I might just have to reblog this from you ;)

    Thank you for your comment at my blog today. I soo agree with you regarding that it's easy to say "erase the rules". But isn't it true that in order to get a creative, uniqe and personal creative result, it's good to forget some of the rules and just experiment!?

    Have a great weekend.

    wowzers, i really like this! it's very minimal and clean and would undoubtedly encourage the those pure reading-writing vibez. i think fill it with a bucket load of lit lovers and this would be creative mecca.
