A little French design today. Modern spaces with a certain style, a certain flair. Welcome to the portfolio of Parisian architects Alexandre Barthélemy and Stéphanie Ifrah. I love the sense of space, the clever use of volumes, the vast versus the intimate. So much more to see at their website Architectes Barthelemy & Ifrah. Enjoy!

“Tighe Architecture is committed to creating an authentic, contemporary Architecture informed by technology, sustainability and building innovation. The work is not of style but of process – a process driven by influences such as site, environment, budget, society, and culture.” Hell yeah it may be driven by process but it sure is stylish! Venice Beach house anyone? Or the cutest little black box?

“We take a holistic approach to each project and, with sustainability always in mind, we consider the building, landscape, function and interior design and employ careful use of scale, proportion and detail to create houses that delight. We love what we do and particularly projects that offer opportunities for designing finely crafted modern buildings in stunning surroundings… ” and it shows. These buildings have soul, have personality, are exquisite. I’m in love with the work of McLean Quinlan Architects. You too?

A stone headland rises to meet the sea and sand. Manmade crests waves of pampas grass. In Punta del Este, Uruguay Martin Gomez Arquitectos design beach houses that meet the environment and embrace it. It’s modern and it’s sexy. It’s hot and it’s too cool. Thanks to María for sharing these as yet unpublished shots. If you want to see more inspiring houses by the design studio lead by Argentinian architect Martin Gomez then click over to their tumblr… full of fabulous press tears and work. You’ll remember the Tree house from Elle Decoration.

What a happy house! Or should that be Happy Haus? Fabulous prefab houses designed by two of Brisbane’s leading architectural firms, the brilliant Owen and Vokes and the edgy Donovan Hill for Happy Haus. One module, two, three or more trucked to your site, single or double storey or as pavilions. This is Owen and Vokes’ White Series, a play on the traditional holiday shack. Simple and stylish, modern but with that retro vibe. You can see more on their site or at Happy Haus. I’m dreaming of  an isolated headland and a module or two.
