The dark exterior sits firmly in its woodland setting belying the fact that the interiors are bright, light-filled and welcoming. It’s like night and day. A house that hides and rooms that shine. Upper Road by Mill Valley, California based The Workroom.
This 16th century country house in West Sussex is a wonderful example of going neutral and keeping things light and warm in a home that was probably very dark. All of the exposed beams and brick are gorgeous and add so much texture and a sense of pride of the home’s history. Designed by Rui Ribeiro.
It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Block722 Studio by who else but Block722.
What an absolutely beautiful example of blending a home in with the landscape. In this case it’s a home of traditional Mallorcan architecture made of local sandstone, with the Serra de Tramontana mountains in the background. The home’s structures form a courtyard that houses a pool surrounded by more stone. Hats off to Twobo architecture for creating this masterpiece.
A little slice of heaven in the Basque country. This old farm is now a stunning private residence that is as beautifully neutral as can be. Lots of wood used throughout that adds such a wonderful element of nature that exudes so much warmth. This is cabin style taken to a whole other level. Designed by Gilles et Boissier.
