When Julie from my favourite blog Remodelista emailed to let me know about a great photographer she worked with in Mill Valley recently I rushed to click on the link. John Merkl takes a clean shot, a beautiful light filled shot, a story telling shot. The images may be well edited, telling just what is necessary to draw you in but that’s just what is needed with these contemporary interiors. A focus. (Hah! So he has spot on focus! Couldn’t resist the bad pun sorry.)

(***Those wondering where Monday’s pet post is will have to wait until next week. My vacation sadly ends today and I’ll be spending the day on airplanes, but I had this ‘regular’ post ready in my absence.)

Design firm workshop/apd is based in New York City and Nantucket, Massachusetts specializing in high-end residential renovations, new home construction and commercial development with an emphasis on sustainability. “Our approach to design looks beyond the singularity found within current architectural trends and takes advantage of the multiple perspectives that make up our society. This allows for a more intriguing and less predictable relationship between design and its context. Conventional boundaries between adjacent spaces are often transgressed, allowing activities to transition naturally across fluid thresholds. This results in performative spaces that collapse the form of function into the function of form.” Their portfolio includes modern, contemporary and downright funky, ecelctic spaces. I had a hard time picking out my favourites, but this about sums it up:

While I’m sitting by the pool enjoying yet another sangria, how about a little non-alcoholic enjoyment for all of you in the form of the photography of the talented David Meredith.

An email was sitting in my box this week from photographer Brian Park. Brian has always been generous with keeping us up to date with his work. Glad he does because Brian has a new website featuring shots for the book Restoring a House in the City by  former House and Garden editor Ingrid Abramovitch. After devouring them online I’m off to order the book. Yum! Can’t wait to turn the pages. Brian’s work is stunning.
