Berlin News November 2025 We have received a new report supported by GARDE! Built in 1914, Villa Kellermann is located in Potsdam, a suburb of Berlin. This opulent residence on the shores of Lake Heiliger See-home to palaces such as the Marmorpalais and Cecilienhof-has been reimagined by Berlin’s renowned architect Ester Bruzkus. Each of the four distinct spaces features its own color scheme, creating an interior that feels elegant, contemporary, and inviting. The chic salon, anchored in Prussian blue, includes playful touches-such as wallpaper that appears blue with white polka dots at first glance but reveals elephants upon closer inspection. The sofas and chairs share the same materials but vary in design and color, softening the formality often associated with high-end establishments. The result is a light, comfortable space that transcends the building’s over 100-year history.

【ADF Web Magazine】Glen Ellen Pavilion by Terry & Terry Architecture Set amid the rolling vineyards of Glen Ellen, California, this minimalist pavilion by Terry & Terry Architecture serves a dual purpose — as a serene wine-tasting retreat and as a pool house for a private residence.

Only the pool and surrounding vineyards survived. Today, the new structure stands as both a celebration of landscape and a testament to resilience.

【ADF Web Magazine】Rose Gallery | A World in One Object : Architectural Design by WJ STUDIO Located in Hangzhou, China, Rose Gallery is an art gallery dedicated to showcasing ancient Chinese porcelain. The architectural and interior design of the space was led by WJ STUDIO, with a concept rooted in the Daoist philosophy of Lao Tzu: “Presence” (有) refers to the objects, while “absence” (無) refers to the space. The gallery seeks to express how emptiness can amplify the essence of what is present, turning the space itself into a silent vessel for the artworks it holds.
