By locating a single but complex green millwork box at the center of the long apartment, circulation can flow around all sides. In the box are hidden all the kitchen and bath services; around it are public rooms that face a view of the city on two sides and, on the interior, a more private enfilade of rooms for bathing. The palette of rich colors contrasts with neutral raw concrete walls and ceilings; in addition to the deep green of the central millwork are richly colored natural quartzite stones, terrazzo, brass, botanical silks and colorful fabrics designed by Josef Frank.
I’m not sure which is my favourite element – that perfect shade of green on all that wonderful built in shelving, that glorious green stone in the kitchen, the brass and stone fireplace….

From horse stables and studio to an amazing family home this spacious Amsterdam abode combines industrial loft-like vibes with clean-lined contemporary living. The luxury of space, the luxury of light, the luxury of a custom fit out including swimming pool and the luxury of living canal side. I bet the horses of years long gone never had it this good.

“As you step inside this enchanting Tudor abode, nestled in the beachside town of Montecito, a mystical aura envelopes you, unveiling the property’s whimsical and ageless allure. Our vision for this project was not only to preserve the architectural and natural essence of the home but to introduce livability and family function as well. The blended mix of vintage, antique, and bespoke furnishings intertwines seamlessly, breathing new life into the home’s intrinsic character while weaving a touch of magic as you escape into this charming vacation retreat.”

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. Good Body Hair Salon by Homework.
