We recently heard from Barcelona architect Victor Gonzalez, of TC-Interiors, who wanted to share one of his projects with our readers.
Communicating Vessels is a 250 sq.m complete apartment renovation, located in the Modernist neighborhood of Barcelona. The design layout is a response to the client’s wish for a united, open space that could benefit the natural light form early in the morning to late afternoon. For this reason, all mid-walls were demolished and the windows at the communal side façade were enlarged. The only enclosed department built from the scratch is the Core, which includes the guest room and the service areas, leaving the rest of the space diaphanous. Every use is ‘marked’ by a Lighting Carpet, a customized and highly resolved lighting system. As the floor carpets do, the Lighting Carpets, ‘warm up’ a specific territory of this home while the same time, indicate the use, by their distinct positioning and size. This loft space is HOT. I love the concept of using lighting to delineate a space – much more creative than throwing down some area rugs. 

I know I have featured a video on Trelawney Farm by Urban Splash before (see it here) but I couldn’t resist sharing still shots of this gorgeous holiday house set on 25 acres in Mudgee, NSW. Vintage meets country meets super stylish and fun. A great getaway destination.

A library in the bedroom or is that sleeping in the library? A perfectly sexy setting if books are your fetish. Interior design by Andrew Waller of Mr Waller.

Perched on the water’s edge on an island south west of Stockholm is the H-House by Arkitektstudio Widejdal Racki (whilst practising as Arkitektstudio WRB). Like the Surfers House in a previous post, the building is about reacting to the changes in the weather. Roll open the windows, enjoy the open courtyards, bask in the summer sun and take in the view but when the wind blows and the temperature drops there are covered, protected areas and an outdoor fireplace.

I know you have popped by because you wanted to get your daily dose of interior eye candy. Well, I have got just the thing for you….some really neat spaces by a very talented photographer from Denmark, Stine Heilmann.
