Wood seems to be a recurring element of comfort in the fall. I enjoy it all times of year. Its warm, its textural, its flexible, and open for almost any form of use. and the way light reflects off of it can really add to the inviting feeling of a space.

1. an old market turned into a library/reading room for underpriveleged children.

2. a modern day tree house

3. a woodland retreat (this one has glass doors on a garage-like track that open in the living room)
4. an exotic wood staircase in an island house

5. another woodland retreat. (this one is on the front page of archdaily today--all wood interiors)

6. this one took me forever to find and its in June's features of archdaily. i don't know what it is about this photo but i'm in love with it. i don't even know why. maybe the red and green with the wood and concrete and open space? who knows. but i marked it on my favorites as to never lose it again.

any form of architecture can benefit from wood. a lot of modern designs are moving away from this, but i think they should be careful. wood is classic. timeless. remember this. and do great things.
