Colors have a wonderful capacity to elicit emotional reactions in us, from the fiery reds that stoke desires to the calming blues that inspire tranquilly. The fascinating topic of color psychology is centered around this phenomenon. We can design places that go beyond aesthetics by understanding the psychological consequences of color. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s “Principle of Color Harmony” is one significant thought in this area.

Located in Akashi, japan, the recently completed ‘House in Hayashisaki Matsue Beach’ is designed by architecture studio Akio Isshiki Architects.

Architects Paloma Hernaiz and Jaime Oliver, cofounders and directors of OHLab, believe that a building is only as attractive as it is sustainable. “If you know it’s polluting the environment, it probably won’t appeal to you,” Oliver argued. Climate change has changed our perspective. Glass curtain walls, for example, have lost some of their allure. “Today, if you see a building that’s entirely glazed, it’s not as nice aesthetically because you should know it doesn’t work well,” he says.
