There’s something about a modern wood cabin that continues to tug at my heart strings. In Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia, this contemporary cottage designed and owned by Frits de Vries Architects + Associates sits amongst the trees and along the Georgia Strait and is quite a sight. You would never know this home is only 1,450 square feet. Cedar, concrete, Douglas fir and floor to ceiling windows really set the stage for this cabin in the forest. So calming and peaceful.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to work on a weekend then it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Commune’s office by who else by Commune.

This Spanish colonial ranch on the beach in Malibu has really colourful Mediterranean holiday home vibes. As soon as you walk in the front door it’s tons of personality smacking you right in the face, in the best ways. Plates on display, yellow chairs, a lemon lampshade and rattan…emus? WHY NOT?

“A well suited home is a portrait of those who live within. The palette colored by life’s experiences, a graceful segue from solitude to public life. It is a place where one feels effortless alone or in the company of friends. Such a home is our aim. Its creation begins with inquiry into the patterns of daily living, understanding what is nurturing, stimulating, calming—what feels like home. It requires inspection of cherished objects, and introspection into cherished experiences.”

I love the houses that Betsy Brown and her team cast their spell over. Serene and sophisticated.
