A fresh, fabulous, family home in a light-filled apartment in New York City and to-die-for windows? Sounds amazing … and it is! The added bonus is the modern black and white scandi vibe with blonde wood. West Village Apartment by U.S. and Brit-based Sheep + Stone Interiors.

A touch of modern industrial in the rural Spanish town of Fonolleres is what I am sharing today. Because that combo sounds ideal and after devouring these photos it looks ideal too. Concrete floors, white washed pine (?), black steel beams and windows, some really gorgeous subway tiles and a pool has rendered me smitten.

Didier Ryan of British architecture firm Undercurrent Architects worked some magic on this warehouse conversion to create an absolutely fabulous loft. What was once a furniture depot for the renowned department store Harrods is now modern, unfussy and spacious. Featuring windows I would do just about anything for.
What I would do to be able to hire an architecture firm as talented as Dan Gayfer Design to design me a dream house. Like this one. Somewhat inspired by American Ranch style architecture with its picture windows, gabled rooflines and far-reaching single storey floor plan, the buildings careful orientation encompasses 180 degrees of views whilst protecting the exterior living spaces from prevailing winds that can sweep across the property. The views are part of the design and its aesthetic; they are not borrowed but practically stolen from the surrounding landscape to become part of the interior. This is Ceres House.

It’s almost impossible to imagine that this light-filled family home was once a dank, dark derelict Victorian-era diary. The conversion by Beth Dadswell of Imperfect Interiors is nothing short of miraculous. Unique and full of character it’s a wonderful mix of modern day family living and its industrial roots.
