When minimalism is sexy. Crumpled linen, faux fur, marble, red copper, crsytal, textured black wall, brass…. *sigh*. Brussels apartment designed by Æ Studio. (Check out previous features from this studio here and here)

How could I continue with castle Sundays without featuring the Belgian castle of legendary designer and art/antiques dealer Axel Vervoordt. Kasteel van ’s-Gravenwezel dates back to the 12th century and represents Axel’s style to its core – minimalist and appear seemingly untouched over time. Axel has perfected the ability to create environments that look found, not made. It is earthy, warm, textured, worn and about as magical as a castle can get.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Ironside Construction Head Office by Brahman Perera.

Time for a virtual getaway in Paris. A mini hotel on the Rue du Bac in the 6th arrondissement by Batiik Studio. Shapes, colours and textures play with each other in a light-hearted way creating visual interest and an interior far from boring traditional hotel rooms.

It’s a jungle out there. No not really more like a verdant garden overflowing with plants but still plenty of entertaining and relaxing spots. From its more formal front courtyard to the lush, casual plantings out back this South Yarra garden by Eckersley Garden Architecture has my mind whirring with the possibilities in my own yard. Love it!
