Skylines are the artificial horizon that a city’s overall structure creates. Skylines serve as a kind of fingerprint of a city, as no two skylines are alike. For this reason, news and sports programs, television shows, and movies often display the skyline of a city in a set location. The Sky Line of New York City was a new term in 1896 when it was the title of a color lithograph by Charles Graham for the color supplement of the New York Journal.
Paul D. Spreiregen, FAIA, has called a skyline “a physical representation [of a city’s] facts of life … a potential work of art … its collective vista.”

![Project of the Week: Designed by @terreostudio [IG], Fosil Tulum offers an exquisite blend of comfort and nature-inspired design reminiscent of the idyllic apartments that grace the charming town of #Tulum. Its splendid architecture, featuring abundant natural materials, bestows it with undeniable beauty. The living area boasts lofty ceilings and expansive, steel-framed windows that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living through the terrace, complete with a petite swimming pool.
Meticulously curated with an array of organic elements like wood, jute, and wicker, the home is adorned in soothing hues of blues and greens. While the open-plan living and kitchen area may not be vast, its clever layout and the adjacent outdoor seating area provide ample space. The substantial wooden kitchen table is perfect for hosting gatherings or working, illustrating that opting for a single large furniture piece in smaller spaces is wiser than several smaller ones.
Indoors, the distinctive arches that define this apartment complex continue to captivate. Two inviting bedrooms grace the space, with the master bedroom offering a private balcony adorned with lush plant life.

![Project of the Week: Nestled at the terminus of a rugged concrete road, Villa Gug reveals its distinctive architectural allure. As one’s gaze ascends the villa’s exterior, a mesmerizing panorama unfolds through the expansive horizontal windows on the second floor. Villa Gug, a masterpiece envisioned by the renowned architects at @big_builds [IG], showcases its distinctive character by seamlessly intertwining luxurious automobiles within individual enclosures, reminiscent of an elite automotive exhibition. A procession of cars gracefully adorns the interior, following a gently sloping path that transitions seamlessly from an automotive showroom to the functional sanctuaries of the residence.
Upon stepping inside Villa Gug, a transcendent ambiance awaits. The space unfolds upwards, evoking an overwhelming sense of openness, accentuated by the harmonious interplay of Nordic white and rich brown tones that harmonize with the polished concrete floors. Enchanting glass partitions maintain uninterrupted vistas, while the expansive open area affords a captivating view of a central garden. The vistas extend as one ascends through the abode, gracefully blending the realms of private living and public showcase. This remarkable #design elegantly bridges the divide between parking and living spaces, exemplifying a seamless synergy of form and function.
