I had to share another project by Studio Ett Hem (last week’s feature here if you missed it) because the attention to detail in their projects continues to blow my mind. In this apartment as soon as you walk in there’s a built in bench and then a banquette and the cutest niches in the kitchen for coffee and cookbooks….but it doesn’t stop there! The living room has built in media centre/bookcases, the primary bedroom has a bult-in headboard with niches, a built-in desk, a dressing room filled with storage cabinetry, and the children’s bedroom are even filled with storage for toys and clothes. I LOOOOOVE this!!!

Hollie Bowden always has a unique, quirky angle to her designs and this Covent Garden project is just that. Shades of yellow and cream add a cheerfulness to these spaces. It’s modern and minimalist and edgy and a perfect backdrop for featuring graphic artwork, and furnishings that are themselves art. Photos: Genevieve Lutkin.

Dax I creates timeless places in which architecture and design are combined. This architecture firm based in Berlin seems to be very familiar with designing small spaces as well as those with historic details. They succeed in optimizing space in creative ways (I adore a good built-in anything) and maintaining original features but adding modern touches for the way we live today.

“This ample apartment is a modern, top floor addition to an 18th century palace formerly owned by a Brazilian noble family. It is characterized by a tower that overlooks the city of Lisbon and the Tejo River, providing 360 degree views. During the renovation, we were involved in the supervision of the hard finishes. We designed the millwork and casework, combining locally sourced and produced oak, walnut and stone. The Pico table by Mircea Anghel was exclusively designed for this project, and the tower, now transformed into a lounge area, features ceiling murals designed by Elvira Solana. The tower leads to an integrated rooftop terrace with a built-in Argentinian BBQ and cactus installation.”

I never knew I needed a muralled sunroom or a cactus installation but I do now. Jasmim Tower in Lisbon, Portugal by Quiet Studios.

Is it wrong to daydream that this is my apartment? No? I didn’t think so. Upper West Side Apartment by Space Exploration.
