It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. MESHKI’s Sydney headquarters by Those Architects.

I often crave design that is simple, timeless, bordering on minimal, warm, neutral because sometimes it gets to be too much. Too overdone. Too trendy. Often not that functional. This home in Montréal is like a breath of fresh air. It’s like a big hug from a granny who smells of garlic and Nivea cream. Designed by Atelier St-Arno. Photos: Maxime Desbiens.

Chloe Tozer, founder of CLO Studios, and Jack Clissold’s home, Villa des Fleurs, merges French countryside and Italian influences to form a bright, creative retreat. Surrounded by lush gardens, the house features repurposed materials like recycled terracotta tiles, evoking a Tuscan villa. Custom furniture blends with vintage finds, including 1950s lamps by Audoux Minet. Heirlooms, travel treasures, a beehive, and vegetable gardens infuse the space with a spirit of cooking, creativity, and play.

I am trying to put some coherent words together after picking my jaw up off the floor. I have to say it…..this is the coolest home I have ever featured on the blog. This is so epic on so many levels that I don’t know where to begin. I love this so damn much. I keep picturing Rick Owens strutting around in here, maybe holding a fashion show up and down these hallways. INCREDIBLE! The Varpullan estate is located on the Dutch, Belgian and German border and is currently for sale here. (And thank you Dave for sending us this link!)
Varpullan is the name of the astonishing world of sculptor Arthur Spronken. This unique, temple-like residential complex on a plot of over 2 hectares, includes a villa/loft, studio, workshop, storage depot and company house, and is entirely his own creation – a work of art to live and work in! The name Varpullan is an ode to his wife, the Finnish artist Varpu Tikanoja. This is the life’s work of Arthur Spronken and Varpu Tikanoja. In addition to the living area, the complex also includes the workshop, the exhibition space, the storage depot and a company house. The living area is 810 m², the workshop and warehouse area is no less than 560 m² and the covered outdoor area covers another 267 m². All in all, it has a gross capacity of 5,824 m³.
