“Ratifying Newton’s law of opposites attracting, high chroma finishes mingle with raw instinct and dollops of warm spice tones with nurturing potency. Olive green, turmeric and peach are the binary shades that link the spaces, in turn maximising the modest 55 SQM floorplan – from joinery to bed linen and antique kilims.”

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. Australian homewares brand Cultiver’s HQ by YSG.

I remember seeing this house many many years ago. It’s a beach cabin in East Sussex by Bartlett Coote. It was the standard bearer for the pale and interesting vintage movement. Granny chic meets shabby chic meets reuse and recycle. Flashy and trashy were an anathema. It was all about slow living and a down to earth aesthetic. Fast forward a decade if not a bit more and it’s as interesting and inspiring today as it was back then AND it seems it’s more than survived the test of time. Australians LOVE a beach shack and it seems the Brits do too. This one is rich with the promise of easy summer days filled with family and friends. For sale here via The Modern House.

“An addition to an existing garage, this loft space was designed to create a backyard artist retreat for the homeowner. Though the footprint may be small, the design pulls out all the stops. We like to think of our design as the more lighthearted, well travelled, slightly bohemian sister of the primary residence. With built-in planters, an oversized pitched skylight and unique detailing throughout, this retreat will allow our clients creativity to flow.”

I dream of a artist retreat in my backyard but my dreams have never reached these lofty heights (pardon the pun). If this is the garage extension I wonder how amazing the house is. Park Hill Loft by Calgary-based Fort Architecture.

Alteration and change of use to this heritage listed commercial space has resulted in two levels of luxury loft like living.  Think old posts and beams meet marble, linen fluttering at old windows looking out onto the city, beautiful new details in an old colonial structure.
