David Mikhail Architects created one of my favourite bathrooms I've blogged, and I thought I'd show you some of their latest projects. This London firm is all about MASSIVE windows, and the juxtaposition of old and new. Combine those 2 elements and what do you get? Some pretty awesome homes.
I always find myself drawn to art deco apartments when I am scrolling through real estate listings. I love a building with good bones, architectural features kept intact, joyfully brought into the present but not hacked apart and modernised until there is no personality left. I love the streamlined features of art deco homes mixed modern furniture. I love this groundfloor two bedder. Sunny and new with history and style. Need an apartmenbt in Bondi? For sale here while the link lasts.
Interior stylist Pippa Jameson breathes life into concepts and ideas. She takes what is nebulous and embryonic, researches and creates, hires and coordinates, schemes and styles and just when her sets or rooms are almost perfect I'm sure she sprinkles fairy dust for good measure. Just kidding about the fairy dust. It's all just amazing talent and hard work. Clean, fresh and relaxed. A little vintage, a lot of colour anchored with white.
Isabelle Juy is the creative brain behind L'Atelier d'Archi, an interior architecture firm based in Paris. She has designed several hotels, but I am really taken with the homes and apartments she has created. Regardless of the style of the spaces, there is an underlying rustic touch to the architecture that is so appealing. I could totally live in any of these spaces.
Just outside Arraiolos in Portugal sits a contemporary building that rises from its grassy base like a minimalist monolith. Inside the high white walls is a welcoming patio and within a wonderful small hotel filled with 50s furniture with a Parisian twist. Want to run away and play in Portugal with me? Fine food, fine hosts, fine house. Very cool in more ways than one. Villa Extramuros.
