This home may look California from the street but it has such a warmth and natural, almost old world feel that you might think at first glance it’s in the South of France or Italy. Only things missing are the rolling hills and olive groves. Whatever feelings it evokes, it is absolutely beautiful and clearly cooking and entertaining where food is involved is key.

“From my grandfather I inherited a modest forester’s lodge in the heart of Pszczewski landscape park. I wanted to enhance it and create contemporary dacha for friends and family.” The idea of finishing the second house in the middle of the woods came from Investors’ love for nature and proactive way of spending spare time, as well as the need to create an asylum, standing in contrast to the quick, everyday life of big cities. Although the dacha steers away from traditional representation of a lodge, all design solutions and materials draw direct inspiration from the overpowering proximity of nature.
The building’s entrance was placed in the link between old and new parts of the house and it encapsulates both a dressing room and a bathroom for guests. Interior corridors, along with the windows, were underlined with plywood frames, which stand out even in the floor’s finishing. Newly built house’s wing includes a spacious dining room and englassed living room, which were separated from each other with a centrally placed, massive chimney made out of black steel. Big windows, framed with natural plywood allow for experiencing to the fullest the picturesque forest
surrounding the house. The fronts of furniture installments, those made of natural plywood along with the vanished ones bear resemblance to traditional farm doors with oblique braces.
This truly is a perfect weekend getaway. Simple, functional design and the plywood is a beautiful natural detail. Designed by mode:lina, photos by Patryk Lewiński

From the pared-back sophistication of the formal living spaces to the cosy family areas, this home by West Hollywood based Studio Life/Style is beautifully curated with a restrained colour palette and a contemporary consideration of modern luxury. Simply in love with the living and dining areas connected through a collonade of arches.

Serenity now! These spaces by Jaime Zehner of JZ Interior Designs are so relaxing and serene. California casual is her scene and I’m digging it. A bit Scanid, rustic, beachy…. perfect for warm weather living.

A beautiful marriage of bespoke and carefully curated pieces in a white on white colour palette. What else could you possibly want in this luxe family home in Toronto, Canada?
