Design. Life. Unexpected Intersections.

Architecture isn’t just about buildings. It’s about how we move, how we see, how we feel the world around us—even when we don’t realize it. Design is embedded in our lives in ways we often overlook: in the way a hallway guides you gently forward, in the way a faucet falls naturally to hand, in the way a public bench invites pause at just the right moment. Good design isn’t always loud.

DEarchify is a blog series about those quiet connections—between architecture and the messy, beautiful, unexpected rhythms of everyday life. It’s a place for stretching lines between the technical and the poetic, the practical and the peculiar. The goal isn’t to analyze floor plans or showcase finished buildings. The goal is to wonder aloud: Where else does design live?

Sometimes we’ll talk about sailing. Or disc golf. Or roller coasters. Or Legos. These aren’t textbook essays or think pieces—this is design in the wild. Architecture through a sideways glance.

Some of the connections will be obvious. Some will be a stretch (and I’ll admit when they are). But that’s the fun of it. DEarchify is about loosening the grip of formality and letting design be a little weirder, a little more human, and a lot more present in the small things we do each day.

So if you’ve ever looked at a knob in your car and thought, someone decided to put that exactly there, you’re in the right place.
