The latest issue of Est is live today and what a treat awaits. Creative Director Lynda Evans emailed with a sneak peek. “From a boutique owner’s home on Sydney’s north shore with a well honed sophisticated style and a steadfast passion for a muted palette, to a young family’s country retreat in the hills of Victoria’s spa country filled with vintage finds and eclectic pieces and an artists residence swathed in textural artworks and surrounded by the fields of Holland.” There is even a  chance to win Hamman Towels from Bedouin Societe! My favourite e-magazine just keeps getting better.

The sea, the sky, the view. Luxury and lifestyle dreams, Kloof 151 by SAOTA – Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects and ANTONI ASSOCIATES. Reach out and touch the sunset from this 3 storey home in Clifton, Cape Town. Clean lined, contemporary and with SAOTA‘s signature inside out living. Al fresco elegance where the sky meets the sea.

MilK, I love you.

As one does on a Saturday. Stalking a long thin block of land where Andrew Burges Architecture created a 2 storey contemporary house with connection to the sky and the garden. Privacy and plywood. A great combination. It’s all about with scale, with tightness and opening up, changing levels and opportunistic views. Link here while it lasts. (Thanks Anne for sniffing this one out for me!)

P.S. I have included a couple more images from the architect’s site… just because I can.

How fabulous to have this little vignette right by your front door, telling people you don’t take life too seriously. I got a chuckle out of it. 🙂 C/O Simon Bajada. HAPPY FRIDAY!
