I am always blown away at the creativity of Paris designers. This 45m2 apartment in the 11th arrondissement is minimalist but packs a real punch with some accented ceilings – a green/brown in the kitchen/dining area and a wood clad ceiling in some of the bedroom (which is meant to “reinforce the impression of a monastic cell and calls for rest”). Both really add drama and interest without being too bold/in your face and taking it to another level (literally – up above HA). Appartement Nation designed by Heju.

Situated at the foot of a towering 14,000-foot mountain peak and overlooking ancient red rock formations, this modern yet warm home crests a forested ridge. Studio Plow’s maiden, ground-up design embraces the surrounding coniferous forest of Colorado’s Front Range while offering a cozy and inviting refuge for the parents of Plow’s Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Brit Epperson. Created to emulate the intimacy of camping while maximizing the area’s grandiose mountain views, the home’s design is inspired by household rituals and a connection to nature. Each detail of this special home was lovingly crafted in collaboration with kin. With many of the custom furniture pieces sourced from Epperson’s brother, furniture designer, and builder Barrett Karber, the integration of various family skills and heirlooms into the design creates a truly bespoke, forever home for the architect and interior designer’s parents.
Most designer’s would have gone cabin-chic with this home given the rugged terrain and surroundings but the interior is sophisticated, contemporary and really warm. A bit minimal was a great approach so as to not distract from the incredible views. General Contractor: High Country Homes; Custom Furniture: Grain Construction; Photography: Nicole Franzen

A quaint addition to the iconic Spray Farm Estate (Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula), The Art Studio purposefully and eloquently invites artistic inspiration from the first step inside. Architecturally referencing details of the original homestead, our interior choices were sympathetic to the surrounding landscape, minimalist in design, abundant in high quality craftsmanship and technically executed for practicality.
I may not be an artist per se but WHOA would working at my current government day job virtually and working on this blog from a space like this would be a dream come true. And I thought my greenhouse was a decent outdoor space to work from…

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. The Rubinstein Group, a Real Estate Agency, by Esoteriko.
