I decided to post a bit on LOT-EK because their project ‘Morton Loft’ got stuck in my head a few days ago and for some reason I could not remember who designed it, this annoyed me to the point to which I couldn’t give up until I figured it out, and of course I found it scribbled down in an old sketch book… which meant I could sleep once again. But no, in all seriousness, I absolutely love the work they do and I just felt like reviving my appreciation. Their projects are so innovative and have the most beautifully thought out spaces that have an unrefined, raw, industrial sense. The materials they use are often re- cycled, and they transform existing objects to fulfill new functions, which could be anything from a space to a piece of furniture.
LOT-EK is essentially an architectural practice whose aim is to blur the boundaries between art, architecture, entertainment and information. They claim to be ‘the dialogue between existing objects and program needs to generate unexpected volumes/ spaces.’ Below are a few images taken from their website of projects I find intriguing…
