{Two of my favourite things - gallery walls and chevron floors. And especially since it’s in a fabulous 17th century Paris mansion.}

{Mid-century modern treehouse realness! This is a home in Los Angeles of architect Ray Kappe. This is the kind of architecture that captures the essence of well-lived life and good design. It is authentic and creative at once and one might feel right at home in the well-layered piece of beauty. Especially loving the dovetail joints on the stairs.}
{Lunch-time inspiration. Innarch have designed the Don Café House in Pristina, Kosovo.}
From Innarch
The idea / inspiration for the design derives from sack filled with coffee grains. The walls of the bar are organically shaped and colored like coffee sack made up of “Plywood” type of wood, whereby the pillars in between are coated with textile coffee sacks. Tables and hanging chandeliers represent the coffee grains lined up asymmetrically in order to generate the impression of being inside a coffee sack. The separating wall has a double function; decorative and functional. Its organic shape consists the most dominant part of the premise enabling a unique feeling of sitting unlike any other one comes across in everyday life. Each of the plywood element was designed individually. This because for the creation of an entire organic shape, each of the element needs to be designed separately.

{Park St. Residence by Hecker Guthrie. Clean and contemporary. Loving the millwork.}
{Thomas Britt’s home. Parisian-opulet, full of flair and confidence! Here are pictures of the living room - called the Oval Room. It retains the Regency-style boisserie. I also love the custom chinoiserie bookcases with the books wrapped in parchment. The bleached wood and the whole monochromatic scheme really help in reducing the bombast of the wall panelling. Also pictured are the Tent Room & the dining room. The dining room has a table made of tortoise-shell. I shared the Grand Salon a few days ago.}
{Sippin’ some joe to ease into the day. Happy Almost Friday!}
{This 1,000-square-foot studio, designed by Rick Joy, gets a dose of high drama with floor to ceiling linen drapes. Fastened to a recessed track in the ceiling, the fabric can be pulled completely shut around the bed – effectively creating a room with in a room.}
{Koichi Takada Architects. Ippudo Ramen Restaurant in Sydney. Love that undulating ceiling!}
{Today’s Hump Day Happy Place… somewhere on top of the world.}
{S. Russell Groves trained as an architect and has worked for Richard Meier and Peter Marino. He says it was Peter Marino who helped him go forward with something he had always believed - that the divide between architecture and interior design is unnecessary. Meshing the two disciplines continues to inform his deceptively simple designs that frequently give a great sense of volume and space, regardless of the actual dimensions. His own apartment (shown here) was immaculate, small but perfectly formed. Interview by New York Social Diary.}
{A traditional floor pattern, but rendered in a modern tile, I think. Love the contrast!}
