My mind is once again blown by this modern family home in Montréal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood. Totally unassuming and blending in with the surroundings as la Shed Architecture always does SO WELL. Then you walk inside and Kim has a minor coronary that this is a house in Canada and IT HAS AN INTERIOR COURTYARD. One of my dreams come true. And then you have the stone steps leading to an outdoor spa and I’m dead. Landscape Design: Friche Atelier. Photos: Maxime Brouillet

This Paris apartment’s previous owner had lived here for many decades. It was essentially a time capsule (check out the before photos here) when the new owners came into its possession. Agence Véronique Cotrel understood the importance of trying to maintain as much of the history as possible (bless them for doing “God’s work”) and removed carpet to uncover original hardwood, restored doors, hardware, cornices, windows and bathed the main spaces in shades of white. The result is so much fresher, and open and airy and gives an air of modernity to the otherwise historical space. What a beauty!!! Photos: Amaury Laparra.

Who knew Québec slate and burnt wood could be so sexy and modern and perfect for cabin/chalet life? Chalet du Marin is another project by la Shed Architecture that has me in complete awe. Absolutely storing this one away in my inspiration folder. Particularly the photo of the plant/dog shower. OMG. Photos: Maxime Brouillet

Serenity in a white minimal space. Not sure it could be my every day cup of tea but imagine this as a weekend getaway. OH YES. This is the Barcelona apartment of interior designer Isern Serra and object designer and ceramist Valeria Vasi. A white microcement space left very open with lots of built-ins make it the perfect studio space and blank slate to display objects. Simply lovely.

A computer game designer asked Scotland-based Studio Sam Buckley to “create a room that makes people say ‘Wow’ upon seeing the space” and Sam 150% delivered!!! Really creative colours (today’s theme) and patterns join forces to solidify the deal. His client must be the envy of all their friends.
