Laurie House is a minimalist home located in London, United Kingdom, designed by Joseph Mills Architects. Standing at the threshold where old meets new, the careful orchestration of a black metal handrail piercing precisely through the center of each reclaimed London Stock brick becomes a telling metaphor for this thoughtful renovation.

Description

Belshazzar's Feast is a biblical story where King Belshazzar of Babylon profanes sacred vessels from the Jerusalem Temple during a banquet. A ghostly hand writes a doom-laden message on the wall ("MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN"), which the prophet Daniel interprets as the fall of Babylon due to pride. The king is killed that same night
