This home is perfection. Go figure it is owned by a stylist/interior designer (Claire Delmar). 🙂

Histórias de Casa
Posted on Fri, 14 Nov 2014 by KiM
Bruna Lourenço and Paula Passini are interior designers from Brazi who wrote us the other day to share their latest venture – a blog that showcases ‘real’ homes in their city of Sao Paulo. It is called Histórias de Casa. These types of blogs seem to be gaining popularity, which is awesome because I always love seeing how people actually live in their homes, that aren’t all done up and styled to the hilt for a magazine. Another blog to bookmark. 🙂 Thank you Bruna and Paula!
Pretty Please

It’s the OTT entrance to a nightclub but my head is spinning with the possibility of including something like this somewhere in my house. Pretty Please. No that’s not me begging. That’s the name of the Melbourne club designed by Travis Walton.
An infill project in Toronto
Posted on Wed, 12 Nov 2014 by KiM
I have always been intrigued by infill projects (especially over the past couple of years when I thought I was going to take on my own infill build). To see what an architect can come up with – does it blend with neighbouring homes, does it stick out like a sore thumb? And how does it make use of the typically small parcel of land it inhabits? In this case it is a much more modern residence than the surrounding 1920s homes, but it works. The exterior brick and the peaked rook mimics the homes on either side. And a simple yet brilliant idea to have a strip of different flooring material on the ground floor to give the impression of a corridor. Kudos to Drew Mandel Architects on this one.
