So many great photographers. So many great photographs. How do we choose? If they speak to the heart, tug at the senses, weave a dream, inspire… then they make the cut. Welcome to the portfolio of L.A. based photographer Noah Webb.

Ibiza is on my top 5 list of places to visit. I would lose my sh*t if I was able to visit and stay in a villa like this. Villa Can Mar is the absolute epitome of Ibiza, zen-inspired style. Achingly cool, this contemporary and minimalist four bedroom home – with its razor sharp, clean, white lines and bold splashes of colour – comes complete with stellar ocean views and famous Ibiza sunsets. Having been created by merging two separate duplexes by JUMA architects in 2012, Villa Can Mar offers ingenious flexibility: certain spaces can be closed off or reconfigured to suit guests’ needs. Deeply glamorous, close to the hub of Ibiza’s action and a stone’s throw from some of the island’s finest beaches, this luxury Ibiza villa can be rented via Paradizo Private Collection.

It’s been several years since I first heard about Henrybuilt kitchens. I have lusted after their kitchens from that moment on. Modern and clean lines yet they exude warmth. We don’t usually blog “products” but this is more about some fabulously designed kitchens, and when the folks at Henrybuilt sent over some photos, I was more than happy to share them here (especially when I heard their new range offers more traditional and rustic options). The next time I’m due for new kitchen cabinets, I’m totally going to harass these folks to hook me up. 😉

What can you say about a design firm with the moniker of Chinese Jesus? Wow springs to mind. Modern, luxurious, bold with midcentury riffs. Seamless and streamlined layered with texture. Mike Lee, Deborah Rumens and their team in Venice, California create cool, stylin’ sculptural spaces perfect for the modern Mad Men.

A narrow 3.6m, south facing semi in Freshwater, Sydney. Not much space, little light. What do you do when you need more space, don’t have a wad of cash to throw at your problem and are looking for a cool design solution? Architect David Boyle has extended the rear of the house, opening it up to double height and turning a wall of glass to the coveted northern light. Timber plays off white surfaces adding richness to a casual family home. Although the budget was limited style is definitely not.
