Reaching for Darkness: Tour Duo Paris by Neokentin

Reaching for Darkness: Tour Duo Paris

Standing at the base of one of the Tour Duo buildings in Paris, I was struck by how it seemed to slice through the night sky. I positioned myself to capture this extreme upward angle that emphasizes its height and the clean geometric pattern of its facade.
The black and white processing was a natural choice - it strips away distractions and focuses attention on the strong diagonal line and the repeating pattern of the windows. I wanted the darkness to envelop the building, creating this dramatic contrast between solid and void.
Looking up at these massive towers always gives me a sense of disorientation and smallness. By framing just this edge disappearing into darkness, I aimed to capture that dizzying feeling you get when you crane your neck skyward in an urban canyon.
I deliberately kept a bit of that subtle glow at the top where the building meets the sky - a hint of light that draws your eye upward along the path of the structure and adds a touch of mystery to the composition.

Sea Cliff

Tucked into the upscale enclave of Sea Cliff in San Francisco, this corner residence is a striking study in mid-century modernism—an unexpected but welcome contrast to its more traditional neighbors. Clean lines, minimalist facades, and an emphasis on horizontal volumes give the home its modernist credentials, while the restrained material palette—textured concrete, smooth stucco, and dark metal-framed windows—adds architectural depth. The subtle terrazzo-like façade offers visual texture without disrupting the home’s otherwise monochromatic elegance.

What makes this home especially captivating isn’t just its geometry but its context. Sea Cliff is famed for its early 20th-century mansions and Spanish Revival villas, but this residence bucks the trend, opting instead for a Zen-like simplicity reminiscent of 1960s and '70s design philosophies. Framed by meticulously sculpted trees and manicured greenery, the landscaping further underscores the influence of Japanese and California Modern design—a tranquil foreground to a boldly restrained home.

Though the architect remains unidentified, the design ethos feels informed by the likes of Edward Killingsworth or perhaps even Joseph Eichler’s influence, with its clear focus on indoor-outdoor harmony and unadorned elegance. This is modernism built for longevity—not to shout, but to last.

Located just minutes from the Lands End Lookout and China Beach, this Sea Cliff gem speaks to the power of architectural restraint in a neighborhood known for opulence. It's a quiet showstopper, and for lovers of design, an under-the-radar must-see on any San Francisco architecture tour.

Sculptural Symmetry at the IJburg Waterfront – Amsterdam’s Modern Marvel

A striking long-exposure shot of the iconic Sluishuis building in Amsterdam’s IJburg district. This architectural masterpiece, designed by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) and Barcode Architects, blends geometric precision with modern urban elegance. Captured at sunset, the structure’s sharp angles, glass balconies, and the serene reflection on the IJ waterway highlight the fusion of nature and cutting-edge design. A symbol of contemporary Dutch architecture and sustainable living.
