Relogged by Ukrainian architectural and interior design firm balbek bureau is a private home located on a riverside green zone, originally built as a log cabin and reimagined to reflect the client’s contemporary lifestyle. The redesign reinterprets classic log house aesthetics with minimalist geometry, concrete floors, and a moody yet warm palette. Inspired by Rick Owens’ Concordia apartment, the interior is grungy and utilitarian, softened by custom furniture and vintage pieces. Minimal intervention preserved the log structure, while open layouts, dark-stained wood, and metal elements give the home a bold, modern edge rooted in comfort, creativity, and deep collaboration with the client.

“From art to spirituality, psychology to design, no realm is closed to exploration. In design, there is freedom in fluidity.”

I am totally obsessed with outdoor spaces that provide shelter and a place to hang out and enjoy nature (I’m extra obsessed since we built our greenhouse). This folly or gazebo in Antwerp designed by Joris Van Apers Studio was made out of reclaimed materials and was positioned to enjoy the evening sun and a view of the pond. I have of course already sent this to my husband and added to my inspiration folder. This is my favourite post so far of 2025 I love it THAT MUCH 🙂 Photos: Jo Pauwels.

I needed a break for the mostly horrible castle decor and annoying watermarks so I went to a trusted source for amazing interiors within historic structures, Inigo, and spotted this absolutely gorgeous Gothic 4 bedroom home in Walmer, Kent (home of designer Sue Timney). Striking decorated gables, Gothic windows and a pointed three-arched veranda speak to its early history. Inside, its voluminous internal footprint of 3,400 sq ft is dotted with fine original features including built-in glazed cabinetry and ornamental carpentry. I love the the gothic architecture is enhanced within the interiors but with some wood and brown/earthy spaces to make it a little less “goth”. That veranda is to die for. Looooove this.
