The Apartment at Graanmarkt13 by the genius of Belgian design Vincent Van Duysen. And even more genius we can stay there.
And here I thought my new home had lots of beautiful architectural detail. This Park Slope, NY brownstone renovated by Abelow Sherman Architects has incredible panelling, moldings, stained glass and inlaid hardwood flooring at every turn. I am a bit sad that every single bit of woodwork has been painted (and white, blah). Yes folks, I have turned into ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE! (LOL)
In my next home I want some windows with deep ledges, so the cats can congregate for squirrel watching and have a nap, and I can have a spot for sun-worshipping plants. It is also a great place to create some little vignettes. I love these windows below….
And sometimes you need nothing at all.

The folks over at DOS Architects have completed yet another stellar project in London. This one is located in the ‘hood of Little Venice. The glass atrium at the rear of the home housing the dining room is such a beautiful space. I would spend all of my time in there eating, working, having dinner parties and summer barbecues… And the icing on the cake – the large, stunning photograph above the credenza and the Tom Dixon Beat lights taking pride of place above the table. (More of DOS’ work here and here)
A contemporary extension to an historic house carves its way down the slope of an inner Brisbane ridge line. This architect’s home plays old against new, street facade against the views through the backyard, intimate against expansive. The original timber cottage remains as guest house and entry while the addition is about family living and the landscape. The Taringa House by Loucas Zahos Architects.
