“Ark Journal Volume XIII contemplates the quiet force of obsession, a power that fuels creation and transformation, that drives to protect, preserve and perfect. Obsession can be a love that nourishes, that pushes boundaries and brings ideas to fruition. In those who embrace it, obsession becomes a bridge to understanding, elevating the creator and the creation to something timeless, profound and beautifully enduring.
In this issue, Ark Journal celebrates the journeys of individuals across music, art, design, interiors and architecture whose passion and authenticity are united by the force of obsession.
HOMES
A country home in southern Jutland rewilded to instil a sense of history, a Philip Johnson house restored with patience, determination and humility, a joyous experimental loft in New York and obsessive nuance in a 1930s Danish beach house.
INTERVIEW
Across seven decades of practice, the Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza has framed a language of his own, elemental and deeply moving, drawing on memories, the subconscious and a close reading of context and place.
INSERT
For five years, the independent and non-commercial music platform Brodie Sessions has created and hosted music in unique architectural spaces and captured them on analogue film. A tribute to lovingly crafted musical moments.
LIVING ARCHITECTURE
A high point of French late modernism, Villa Weil is a pure expression of architecture, an abstract object that lies elemental in its rural landscape, preserved and shared as a cultural project.
DESIGN
Bent, folded and curved, the metal sculptural forms of Umberto Bellardi Ricci staged in a landmark New York penthouse, echo the angular matrix of the interior and the cityscape that inspired their shapes.
ART
In a poetic and transient tribute to the Manitoga estate of American pioneer designer Russel Wright, an artist and a photographer capture the soul of the location with a fleeting gesture.
CASE STUDY
In a quiescent and calm interior, deceptively simple lines and nuanced tones of wood invite a contemplation of form and balance, and the rewarding paradox of rich austerity.
ESSAY
Artist Jan Gleie discusses the process of capturing the dreamy images of his photo essay, the personal, almost random choices driven by atmosphere and memories of childhood.
Ark Journal is more than just a publication; it’s a celebration of the beauty and simplicity that defines Scandinavian design and architecture.“

Ark Journal – Spring Summer 2025 – Volume XIII
“At Ark Journal we explore the spaces around us, the objects we put in them and the people who make them. Bridging architecture, design and art, we show them as interplay rather than in silos, and with a sense of enduring Scandinavian values and aesthetics. We celebrate good ideas, honest and inventive design and materials and encourage critical debate. Each issue we visit extraordinary homes around the world that are more than the sum of their parts and that express the personal narratives of the people who live in them, their philosophies and influences. By placing architecture at the core of Ark Journal, we want to consider it in the broader context of our lives, reflecting its more humanistic side and celebrating tactility and individual dimensions.”
