If life gets its spice from variety, then this year’s Record Interiors serves up a real palate sparker. The 2004 interiors include a savory array of functions, forms, and venues, ranging from a holistic pharmacy in Amsterdam to a cultural center in Warsaw; a sound studio in Los Angeles; and a hotel in Berlin.

The architectural sensibilities and design approaches are as varied, or highly seasoned, as the programs and sites themselves. While many of the featured projects establish a strong counterpoint between inside and out, but do so in markedly different ways.

Though the seven featured projects appear undeniably diverse, each one, in its own way, immerses its users in a distinctive milieu. Whether it’s a café lined in rippled, mocha-colored cardboard, a modest museum of deceptively dizzying heights, a cultural center with a well-seasoned industrial patina, or any of the rest, we invite you to have a look—and partake.
