Kurkku Fields, Japan

Tucked into a corner of Kurkku Fields sits a library built inside the earth. The fields were previously home to flat, dry land and construction debris. As the lush valley was restored, the architects believed the building should sit beneath the plants and microorganisms in the soil, allowing the cultivated soil layer to remain undisturbed. This idea led to the creation of the library, a "small cleft in the earth" where farmers could stop to rest.

Classic

Pantone, the authority on color, has deemed Peach Fuzz the color of the year for 2024. Peach Fuzz is a heartfelt peach hue bringing a feeling of kindness and tenderness, according to the experts. It’s a warm, cozy shade highlighting the desire for togetherness with others or for enjoying a moment of stillness and the feeling of sanctuary this creates. Poetic and romantic, a clean peach tone with a vintage vibe, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz reflects the past yet has been refashioned with a contemporary ambience.

What spaces would this colorway work best?

Fitting Your Mood

When creating a color palette, the first thing I would recommend is to ask yourself “what colors speak to you?” This is a great starting point. What atmosphere are you trying to create? Is it calm or vibrant? Cool tones create a calm atmosphere and warm tones make it more vibrant.  Your home is an extension of you, so I would say true to what you really love and are drawn to. The most beautiful homes, in my opinion, are when a home reflects the personality of the person who lives there!
