A modern extension to an historic home all with a retro riff. More from Klopper & Davis Architects. Are you longing for pressed metal ceilings like I am?

(P.S. I know some of you are having issues seeing Kim’s pictures but is anyone having problems seeing mine?)

How cool! I already love the modern open plan, the concrete and the white brick, the bright yellow and hot pink accents as well as the pool but what I really, really love are the Space Invader motifs in the brickwork. Crass? No way! Life is too short not to have a sense of humour. Florence House by Perth, West Australia based Klopper & Davis Architects.

I love this photo by David Prince. Makes me want to run up and down those stairs. Makes me want to sit secretly in the chair, swinging my feet waiting to jump out and cry “boo” at who ever happens on down. If I tell the truth it really makes me want that runner!

Casual yet stylish. Fresh and fun. Whose home is it? Try display apartments, the Flats at Mixon by Charleston, by South Carolina interior designer Cortney Bishop. Wonderfully bright and light and at other times moody and masculine. The perfect showcase for potential buyers. What I love most? The use of green whether minty fresh floors or murky with a retro vibe.

Simonsen and Czechura again. This time the renovation of a rustic house in Vence on the French Riviera. Open up a number of small rooms, let in the light and install a killer kitchen and bathroom. Modern Danish minimalism with Mediterranean panache.
