Design Matters by Chris Arelt: Bringing the Outdoors In

It’s an oft-heard design objective among folks building or renovating a home these days: “We want to bring the outdoors in!” Indeed, visually or spatially connecting the interior of a home with its surroundings is a great way to make spaces feel larger, improve daylight levels and, best of all, embrace Nature.

LIVING IN ART: The Shoreline Arts Alliance Architecture Series

Creator:
Christopher Arelt, AIA LEED AP, owner/principal of Nautilus Architects, Lyme, Connecticut

Towers Residence, Essex

Background:
Despite its long and illustrious history, architecture in modern America is often overlooked as an art form. At its finest, architecture is every bit an art form, defined as something created with a point of view, involving expression and imagination, achieving beauty, and with the power to move and inspire. More than simply an object, architecture has the unique capacity to deliver, through inhabitation, experiential enjoyment. Our region is rife with first-rate examples, from historic to contemporary, and everything in between.

Mission:
Improve the region's awareness of and appreciation for the art of architecture.

Objectives:
Promote greater appreciation of the region's built environment.
Broaden public awareness by exposing diverse audiences to distinctive architectural examples. Educate and inspire discussion of issues of excellence in architectural design and related fields.
