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.

Sometimes it’s fun to mix it up in the kitchen and I don’t mean a cake mix. How about the Nest Kitchen by Studio Doherty for Laminex? It’s an exploration of colour and layout and while some will not like it I love it.

“This classic Californian, ranch-style home harkens to the simple charm of family living. The house was remodeled in the late 2000s, however, we admired the sweeping, seasoned architecture of the original Gerard Colcord home. So, we initiated renovations to tone down the modern elements and restore the place to its natural state. The result is an open, amicable, and limitless space with potential for exploration.”

A resounding love for textiles and old school craftsmanship is evident throughout Christina‘s sophisticated yet refined spaces. Her layered mix of clean and contemporary with eclectic and antique results in projects that feel authentic, intentional and curated over time. Having lived in both New York and London, those experiences informed her bold design eye and exposed her to the world of art, fashion and European interiors. Known for her playful sensibility, the most pivotal part of Christina’s aesthetic is a fusion of elegance with livability.
Beautiful space. I am dying over that massive kitchen with the brick stove surround in the middle. WHOA.

The Victorian home in Larchmont, New York is just beaming with personality! Sooooo much colour and pattern and an energy that is truly unmatched. Also, it basically has 3 kitchens so I am head over heels in love with this home. Designed by Robin Henry Studio, photos by Eric Piasecki.
