St Leon

Concrete and glass embracing an amazing ocean view. Feet dug deep into the slope to anchor and provide privacy. Seamless transition from interior to exterior takes entertaining to another level. Luxury finishes of leather and timber soften the stark lines. And, of course, a pool to die for. A contemporary family home by SAOTA – Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects with interiors by Antoni Associates. Skinny dip anyone?

Love the graphics, love the leather, love the mirror, love the look. All part of Freedom‘s new collection.

Surfers House

Posted on Tue, 26 Feb 2013 by midcenturyjo

Surf’s up and so is my pulse. Beautiful white boxes punctuated by large expanses of glass, the house is by Sweden’s Arkitektstudio Widejdal Racki (work completed while the firm was Arkitektstudio WRB). Open it up to the beautiful site or close it up and shelter inside when wild weather rolls in. Casual, stylish and perfect for a surfing weekend. What am I saying? Just surfing? You would find me just sitting on the patio being hypnotised by the ever changing sea.

Another sneaky peek at Freedom‘s latest collection in store from today. Thanks Freedom for sending along  this pic of the Casper dining table. Cool, modern, sleek. Like the lighting too. Must jump on the website and see what it is.

Dear Mr West… er, um,… Jonathan,

Bit overwhelmed here. Not sure exactly what to say. I… well… I really, really like your work. Cool shots, great light, beautiful colours.  Love the way you capture the sense of wabi sabi, of imperfection. that’s it. Gee I guess it wasn’t hard after all to say what a super photographer you are.
