Hello Everyone

This home dedicated to retired residents in Taiwan, created by Wei Yin International Design Associates has been a recent favourite of mine during this past fortnight. 

Despite an incredibly simple layout and design Wei Yin International Design Associates, have mastered the art of using different materials with different finishes and properties to create a beautiful relaxing and calm environment, whilst taking advantage of the view outwards.

Using a mixture of terrazzo, recycled woods, concrete, and simplistic lighting, this gorgeous space is home to an incredibly minimal, yet tranquil atmosphere.

Hello Everyone

Today I bring to you this minimal retreat for Jim Jennings, by Jim Jennings. This white canvas of a weekend retreat, based in San Francisco's, Palm Springs, features nothing but minimalistic beauty and an endless outward view of the close by mountains and surrounding desert. 

Having everything designed perfectly down to the last measurement, Jennings took advantage of being his own client and made sure that everything that was completed, was completed to both his and his wife's liking. This retreat, similar to my previous interior featured on the blog (read it here) features tall walls that from the outside seem pretty cold and uninviting, but internally seem quite cosy and reassuring. Which all seems to work with the blank white wall aspect, and rather than giving off a medicinal or clinical feel, works in perfect harmony with the forever blue skies and distant mountain ranges.

One weekend here, and I'd be set for life. What do you think?

Hello Everyone

The best things are made when you're either pushed to your limits, or someone tells you that you cannot do something. This was the case for this home in Mexico. Design for a retired couple, Architects Pérez Palacious had the challenge of working with high restricting walls from the surrounding houses, and a lack of external views. However, they handled it well and created this cream, minimal, relaxing style. 

The house features 3 mini courtyards that all have their own separate functions, but the house harmonises internally with the open floor plan, linking all the family areas together. To say I like it would be an understatement. Even with the lack of natural landscape to look at, this home is such a natural beauty.

Hello Everyone

August has finally begun, which means more planning is in store. I like to make mini lists of the things that I'd like to have complete by the end of the month, sure it is definitely to follow through and complete them all, but as long as you're able to tick some off, then it's not all for nothing right?

My mini forecast for August is that I plan to focus on more self-growth and getting some things lined up for my self when I start uni again at the end of next month. Seeing as I'm heading into my final year, I'd like to get myself organised, as this'll be one of my most difficult years yet! Wish me luck :3
