There is a verve, a spark to the work of Giuliano Andrea dell’Uva Architetti, that minimalism loaded with colour and personality but remaining true to the history of the building and the site that is so very, very Italian. Perched high above the sparkling blue waters of Capri is a hotel with not just amazing views but inspiring interiors, a perfect example of this style of Italian modern minimalism.

The ancient and the contemporary sit harmoniously in this amazing 17th century home in the Italian city of Mantova. Wall frescoes are lovingly preserved in the minimalist rooms, heavy ceiling beams retained as well as the old oak floors, stripped and lightened. All are balanced by smooth plastered walls, translucent blinds against windows, a modern white  staircase rising to the next floor and skylights splicing into dark bathrooms.

I wanted to share a bit more from the Belgium interior architecture duo Daphné Daskal and Stéphanie Laperre. Because these spaces are poetic. Somewhat minimalist, elegant, meticulous, artistic. My adoration continues.

Old, ornate bones and strict minimalism = the perfect marriage. Just make sure there’s plenty of hidden storage for the dream to continue. Dipping into the portfolio of Diego Delgado-Elias, a Peruvian architect living in Paris.

“A house composed of a field of rooms that open and close in dialogue with the landscape.”
