This Tribeca loft designed by Jen Talbot has some serious style with every piece of furniture and lighting and art being sculptural in nature. A prefect example of how art isn’t always something you hang on your wall. Even your sofa or coffee table can be viewed as art. (Photos: Brian Wetzel)

Country touches and contemporary cool. This modern renovation of an early 19th century farmhouse by Sydney-based Rhys-Jones Interior Architecture sees organic finishes and clean lines mixed with references to the building’s past. A calm oasis from the city hustle.

If it wasn’t already obvious I am crushing hard on the work of Quintana Partners (because of recent posts here, here and here) here is yet another project of theirs that caught my eye. I love the randomness. I’d add more stuff of course….especially plants.

“Resurrected from a ruinous state, The Bank in Vaughan reclaims its former stature through careful restoration and ‘partnering’ with a new pod extension, adapting from a civic building to the next chapter as a country residence.”

The slate clad pod houses the bathroom, light and bright in contrast to the moody bank interiors where the vibrant blue was informed by remnants of the original colour scheme.  Breathing new life into an old country town. The Bank by Maria Danos Architecture.

The ongoing collaboration between Laminex and architectural firm Kennedy Nolan has created another exciting kitchen. By colour blocking and playing with scale the studio kitchen has so much more impact. Dark walls recede, benchtops are chunky and wide while storage is simple yet generous for the small space.
