If it wasn’t already obvious I am crushing hard on the work of Quintana Partners (because of recent posts here, here and here) here is yet another project of theirs that caught my eye. I love the randomness. I’d add more stuff of course….especially plants.

“Resurrected from a ruinous state, The Bank in Vaughan reclaims its former stature through careful restoration and ‘partnering’ with a new pod extension, adapting from a civic building to the next chapter as a country residence.”

The slate clad pod houses the bathroom, light and bright in contrast to the moody bank interiors where the vibrant blue was informed by remnants of the original colour scheme.  Breathing new life into an old country town. The Bank by Maria Danos Architecture.

The ongoing collaboration between Laminex and architectural firm Kennedy Nolan has created another exciting kitchen. By colour blocking and playing with scale the studio kitchen has so much more impact. Dark walls recede, benchtops are chunky and wide while storage is simple yet generous for the small space.

The Mountain Brook, Birmingham home of architect James F. Carter takes you back in time, despite being a new build. The brick Georgian style exterior is quite a beauty, and the interior is filled with classic, traditional details which sets the stage for an impressive collection of antiques. It is a home he must cherish.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Drum roll please. Presenting the first cannabis shop featured on Desire to Inspire. Dimes Boutique Toronto by Sydney-based Triibe.
