I can’t make up my mind what I like better about this apartment. The stellar midcentury furniture collection, the equally impressive art selection or the fact that it is alive with colour and light. I know I’d move in in a heart beat. They don’t call me Midcentury Jo for nothing. Fairview from the portfolio of Chris Nguyen of Analog Dialog.












“The brief was to breath new life into an un-renovated 42sqm one bedroom apartment from the 1930s to provide sufficient relax, play and work spaces for a young professional couple.”
At 42sqm the footprint is small but clever storage solutions and design means that the living is large. The Hacienda by Adriano Pupilli Architect.

How clever… and stylish! Sliding timber screens of solid and perforated slats open up spaces or conceal the kitchen from the living area in this small apartment by Sydney-based Koichi Takada Architects.







They’re just too damn talented to limit it to two posts so I just had to dip back into Studio RO+CA‘s portfolio. Hip apartment living in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro just meters from the beach. How hot! How cool! How jealous am I! A bachelor pad meters from Ipanema beach. Please!
