Eslick, Hannah

I feel as if I’m a rather confident 20 year old girl. I am very socially aware and am very dependable, making me a great friend to everyone. I love talking to people and get excited when I go to social events and spend time with my favorite people. I’m a more imaginative than logistical person, which is why I am an Interior Design major, but I know that fits me well.

The architects purposefully used brass hardware and accessories to bring that sense of life from the materials deeper into the space.

Casa sobre Caverna zerozero

Casa sobre Caverna by zerozero was built in Modica, Italy as a reinvention of a historic stone building in Sicily.

This symbolizes the man of a family protecting his family with the large, thick walls of natural stone. The idea of “growing from the inside” is showcased through the reuse of old materials to create something new, fresh, and expandable.

Travelers are encouraged to take a breath, help themselves, and let loose in this deep and comforting lounge.
