It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it helps if it is somewhere stylish. Of course an architect’s office is always stylish. 181 Robertson Street by Cavill Architects.

Rachael Stollar, Erin Fearins, and Ward Welch have renovated homes in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Long Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and the Hudson Valley for the better part of two decades. They form interiors & architecture firm Studio SFW. They seem to be able to tackle a broad range of styles and each space is so thoughtfully considered and some fine eye candy.

I had to share another inspiring project by Lauren Liess and I must point out that this one includes the library of my dreams. This modern farmhouse with a cozy bohemian vibe was designed for a busy family of five who love being outside. The home has a mix of colorful patterns and neutrals. Our clients’ overall goal was to create a strong indoor-outdoor connection and easy entertaining. (Architect: Thomas French Builder: Daniel Valencic of Great Jones Build)

I love living in the subtropics. Here it is all about blurring the edges between indoors and out, expanding  living spaces when the weather is warm and inviting but being able to close up and hunker down if things turn inclement. This house in the Brisbane suburb of Bulimba by DAHA is the perfect example. The alterations and additions revolve around a central coutrtyard opening up the public spaces to the views and the breezes.

When the view is this amazing all you can do is frame it perfectly. Understated yet full of impact this Dromana, Victoria garden is by award-winning Nathan Burkett Landscape Architecture.
