Thomas Bendel is an architect from Berlin who captivated me with his strong, clean lines and use of earthy concrete and wood in his designs. Everything he has created has a physical strength to the look of the design in shape and materials used.  Bendel creates spaces that look like they come from the future yet at the same time could have existed forever. One project that specifically caught my eye was Haus Bold featured above.

His portfolio site doesn’t have an English version but it is fairly easy to navigate. Visit his Projekte section to view galleries of his work.
