Perhaps I should rename this post “down the hatch”. Love the redesign of this home in the small town of Vedbaek in Rudersdal, Denmark by Danish design dynamos NORM.Architects.

P.S. The glass hatch reveals a hundred year old wine cellar below.

To follow up that last post, here is glam done with some subtlety. Even more beautiful large sized – check it out here. Via Claire Canning Design. (We appear to be obsessed with anything flat black and gold).

Hold on to your hats folks. Welcome to the wacky and totally eclectic world of Joannes Van Laer and Lucas Schelkens, where colour and glam are always on the menu. Classic antiques mix with faux furs, sparkly chandeliers and wild patterns. These men are VERY brave.

(love the paint splattered chair!!!)

It’s called an apartment for a writer. Perhaps an apartment for an observer. For someone who reflects on their surrounds. Holds a mirror to the world and records, writes. Or perhaps is vain? Cares about looks and style. No that would be more likely if the mirror lined the desk space. Either way I’m smitten by this clever storage by Auckland based Cheshire Architects.

Italian design firm zanon architetti associati have breathed new life into this old Treviso country villa. The ground floor as become one large room while glass windows on the box like extension reflect the garden blurring the edges between inside and out. Vines grow up over the terracotta hued house and corten steel weathers to match the render. New and renewal, modern and traditional.
