In search of harmony between architectural perfection and the beauty of natural textures. His style typically mixes contemporary and historical elements with a solid understanding and deep respect for traditional building techniques and materials.

Kind of OJ

Posted on Fri, 7 Oct 2022 by KiM

Studio LoHo is a Belgian design office located in Bruges, Belgium. Founded in the autumn of 2017 by Karel Loontiens and Jo Hoeven, the studio focused from the beginning on high-end bespoke interior projects which forms an ideal matrix for product – and material design that is both innovative and durable. Kind of OJ is a brand new concept about authentic luxury, unique design & art. It is at the same time a B&B, a gallery for contemporary art and design, but also a laboratory for our own interior ideas. Such a beautiful and creative space.

I am smitten with this Oregon coast newly built home designed by Anne McDonald. All of the wood and natural materials used throughout, and the earthy colour palette make this home so warm. Happy to see it’s not your typical beachy blue and white theme (bleh).

Just one look at this North Bondi beach house by Kate Pulsford of Villa Interior Design and it feels like summer. Seamless indoor outdoor rooms, casual but sophisticated family living and beautiful light flooding in.

Nicole Hollis can take something as casual as a beachfront home in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and add her dramatic touches with art and lighting and accents to create a unique statement. Beachy never looked so cool. (Photos: Douglas Friedman)
