Yasumi Says | OPENHOUSE Magazine, The Life We Share

Bottom three images by OPENHOUSE Magazine stockist NEO.

I know when I've found a gem of a magazine when I reach the end of it and realise that I've read every single article, gazed at every single photo within it and yet find that I'm reluctant to bin, recycle or take cuttings from it. Then, I find myself reaching for it, referring back to it, getting lost in its images time and again and. This is how I feel about OPENHOUSE Magazine.

OPENHOUSE caught my eye because it had Tadao Ando's Casa Wabi emerging from the clean white cover of its 5th edition. In a nutshell, this is a bi-annual printed publication, from Andrew Trotter and Mari Luz Vida that takes a look into the homes/ private spaces of bright, creative people from around the world. It celebrates aspects of gastronomy, architecture, art and design.

Issue 5 features an interview with Bosco Sodi about his visionary artists retreat in Mexico. Designed by Tadao Ando, its doors are open to us via the pages of the magazine to gaze at it in all its sun scorched,  monastic, minimalist and poetic glory. Another noteworthy article from this edition is HK Farm's introduction of a fascinating side of Hong Kong as an unexpectedly resourcefully agricultural place.

In my opinion, this is a magazine to watch out for on your daily grind. Selected excerpts from the current issue are available on their website here, as well as a list of worldwide stockists.
