Some landscapes are designed to be seen. Others are designed to be felt. Andrew Van Egmond’s work belongs to the second category. In this edition, we gather projects that do not impose themselves on the land, but listen closely to it — through stone, grasses, weather, horizon and time. What connects them is not a repeated style, but a consistent ethic of restraint. These are landscapes shaped as much by patience as by form.

This special edition is dedicated to Evelyn Müller, a photographer whose work transforms spaces into quiet, immersive narratives. Through light, shadow, texture, and subtle human traces, her images reveal not only architecture and interiors, but the life within them.

El diseño ya no se mide por lo que deslumbra, sino por lo que permanece. Esta edición especial, Premio Interceramic 2025, celebra a quienes convierten la estética en ética y la técnica en cultura; a quienes entienden el lujo como coherencia y el mate rial como responsabilidad.

Surface is not a finish—it is performance and atmosphere. This edition looks at how stone, concrete, plaster, timber, glass, and ceramic shape light, temperature, privacy, and experience across homes, hospitality, retail, and adaptive reuse.

Water frames our days. In the right space, it turns routine into ritual. Tranquil Escapes explores bathrooms as sanctuaries, calm, functional, and beautifully made where light, honest materials, and thoughtful planning elevate everyday life.

From Montreal to Florence, from the forests of Chile to the beaches of Australia, this edition of THECORE explores how kitchens have become the architectural and emotional soul of our homes.

Welcome to The Wave of Sustainable Design - a special edition of THECORE where we embark on a journey through the transformative landscapes of design, sustainability, and innovation.
