Beyond Beige is an award-winning interior design firm located in North Vancouver, BC that was founded by Reisa Pollard in 2003. Rocking contemporary designs that are warm, bright and comfortable yet classy resulting in spaces that are timeless. And I must commend them on the use of a fantastic photographer to shoot their projects (it’s shocking how many don’t).

More than one string to Belgian photographer Bieke Claessen‘s bow. Just like there is more to Belgian design that spartan minimalist modern design. How about a softer more traditional take? Ok not soft as in fluffy and frou frou. We all know that the Belgians aren’t into soft and fluffy. It’s more like a restrained high style from the Low Countries. Still with that light touch that Bieke brings to her lens.

Less is more. No nonsense. Straight up. Restrained. Tightly curated. Minimalist and modern. Clever insight. No need to embellish. As it is. Unencumbered. True and simple. Beautiful but spartan. I’m not just talking about Belgian design. I’m talking about Belgian photographer Bieke Claessens‘ portfolio.

Thanks to Ron for sending us the link to this home in Pittsburgh, PA that was featured recently in the NY Times. It consists of a 53 foot long glass and steel structure cantilevered over the owners’ glass factory. Incredible! And check out the view!
