You might remember Laurence Simoncini‘s Ile De Ré holiday home. (Here‘s Kim’s post about it.)The perfect exercise in rugged texture and scale. Well welcome to her Parisian warehouse home. Dark, moody and glamorous. Mustards and golds pop against deepest greys and blacks and an oversized gorilla lives in the lush, almost tropical garden. It’s dramatic yet cocooning, a dark oasis full of industrial and vintage touches. Don’t get too settled in though. Sh has moved as you will see in my next post.

Spižírna 1902 is a bistro in Prague designed by Kamil Štajgl and it is where I want to be hanging out today! The space is absolutely beautiful. The architect wanted visitors to feel as though they were snacking in a garden. Mission accomplished! A bonus is that the food on the bistro’s social media (IG / FB) looks delish!

I found a rendering and a before photo on their FB page – this was a serious undertaking!

It’s like I say time and time again. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it better be somewhere stylish. Hungry and Foolish, a strategic and creative consulting agency in Paris by DESJEUX DELAYE.

I wanted to share another gem of a home designed by Cali-based firm Marmol Radziner. This one in Venice has really captured my heart with the interior blending seamlessly with the exterior. For this two-story home for a young family, we designed a series of screens and walls that provide privacy from the street and create an openness on the narrow site. The dining room opens onto the pool to the north and planted courtyard to the south, maximizing usable space and encouraging indoor-outdoor living. 

Mas de Bigot is an absolutely beautiful 18th century hideaway in Saint Rémy de Provence. A “concept art home” designed by Gérard Faivre that is available for sale – fully renovated and decorated. It is 600 m², on 10 hectares that includes a lake, an olive grove, and a forest with a cabin. I think I’m in love! Anyone want to go halfsies on it? 🙂
