When is an apartment more than shelter, more than home? When it is art. The sculptural form of this loft apartment in West Melbourne by Adrian Amore Architects blurs the line between habitation and installation. Curvaceous and twisting, the staircase leads to first the sleeping level then rises to the rooftop terrace.

(P.S. You may recognise the space from my real estate stalking here.)

This 19th century Victorian style house San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury neighborhood was “remodelled” with the best of hippie intentions. Jump forward to the 21st century and architects Mork Ulnes have respected the building’s past and added their own slightly scandi touches to this renovation of the top 2 floors. Beautiful light floods into the attic bedroom while the butcher-block stairway and bridge provide drama and a sense of transition from public to private space.

I love Dana Gallagher‘s work. This talented photographer weaves dreams with light and shadow. Her shots are luminous and her passion for interiors (and food and lifestyle and beauty) shines brightly too. It’s not the first time I’ve lost myself in her portfolio. I keep going back to search for my favourites. The last image is one of them. Simple, understated elegance for this holiday season. Beautiful idea, beautiful photograph. Images via her rep’s site.

It’s Friday thankfully, and I have a massive of list of things I need to get done since I have the day off from my day job. I love the holidays, I just hate all the running around. Anyway, I have about 2 minutes to get this post done so please enjoy some lofty eye candy by Italian architect Roberto Murgia.

Love the idea of using the space on a landing as something more than a change of direction. B&B designed by Belgian architects Not Before Ten.
