Combine a wall of bright yellow framed windows, an expansive view of a leafy green canopy and abundant light and this apartment renovation by São Paulo based AR ARQUITETOS would brighten anyone’s day. A clever “wall of cubes” allows the light to penetrate further into the kitchen while providing much needed storage without heavy walls closing in the otherwise open plan public spaces. Living here would be sunshine yellow everyday!

Jo spread the love for French interior designer Joséphine Gintzburger a few times in the past (here, here and here) and I came across another one of her projects – an eclectic apartment in Le Marais. Only in this setting could a yellow chintzy floral sofa set actually look cute. Throw in a sleek red countertop, chandeliers, a turquoise Smeg and shower right next to the bed and you’ve got another quirky Joséphine space.

A tiny two storey apartment by Prague architects SMLXL Studio makes clever use of a difficult layout (three chimney breast pierce the space). White painted brick, open plan living, pallets as furniture and a definite industrial vibe all add up to a stylish home for its young owner. The original story is from Czech magazine Bydleni iDNES with thanks to reader Bara for the link and translation!

I have been a huge fan of NY interior designer Jordan Carlyle‘s work since he emailed us over the summer (and I blogged him here and here). Now Jordan is sharing his own pad with us! It’s an apartment located just off Wall Street in the Financial District in the William Beaver building originally developed by Andre Balaz. It’s not quite as dramatic as some of his other work but it’s his signature sophisticated style on a calmer, more neutral note (which some people prefer to come home to rather than a party pad – all depends on your lifestyle). I love it – especially all his beautiful accessories.
