It is Sunday and you’re hungry, thirsty and have some work to do. If you’re in downtown Montréal you can head to Café Parvis on Rue Mayor and enjoy what looks like some really incredible foods, drinks and bring your laptop because they have a workspace area so you can be productive too! I love the casual, earthy vibe of this place, designed by Atelier Zébulon Perron.

Another Saturday another workplace. I don’t think I’d have any problem heading into work on a weekend if it looked like this. Relaxed, a little boho, that little something French. The offices of Dream by Paris-based Batiik Studio in collaboration with Dimitri Roussel.

Since I am crushing on the work of Madrid-based designer Ricardo de la Torre I thought I would share a random assortment of other projects of his, including some commercial spaces. That space above though – WOW! I’m also mesmerized by the last 2 spaces (from the VIP area of Summa, the Contemporary Art Fair of Madrid).

Sharing another simple, white space in Madrid because simple can be so good. This 250 m² home is in the Salamanca neighbourhood and was designed by Ricardo de la Torre. It has a cool, eclectic vibe with some mid-century and rustic elements that make it homey. I’m really digging all of the lighting here.

Terracotta and dirtied greens, salmon and persimmon, walls clad in shadowy bucolic wallpaper as backdrop to contemporary furniture that can only be classified as “statement”. With its bold rooms within old bones this Lyon residence by Claude Cartier puts all those monochromatic white upon white spaces I’ve been featuring lately to shame. If colour is king then long live the King!
