Hello Everyone

Clara House in Buenos Aires, designed by Sarmiento and Tovo. This incredibly simplistic home faces outwards onto two courtyards that do nothing other than provide daylight and an abundance of plants/nature. The usage of wood within the interior truly brings this home alive and give it so much character. The simple shapes and views of nature no matter where you turn help to make this space incredibly relaxing just by looking at it, let alone living there.

My favourite shot from the whole space is definitely the last, as waking up to that botanic view would be nothing short of a dream come true.

Hello  Everyone

Today's interiors were completed by Lopez Rivera Architects and are centred in this woodland terrain in Costa Brava, Spain. Due to being situated in an area where cork was once produced, these wooden cabins sit perfectly within the landscape and have wonderfully introduced cork heavily throughout the interior. 

Lopez Rivera Architects tried to use as little of the landscape/remaining woodland as possible, and I would definitely say that they've done a wonderful job~

Hello Everyone

Inspired by a lack of lighting in the previous interior, this new space designed by Fragmenture  in Ghent, Belgium, has taken into consideration, adding a change of lighting and materials in order to brighten up the space. 

The design firm removed the internal walls and created a new experience within the space that was centred around the diagonal storage system. The angular shape is quite harsh on the eyes but also provides a beautiful experience of design hierarchy.

I believe that the firm was able to brighten up the space using the best materials and colour combinations, and I definitely would not mind spending a night here.

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

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

Taking an inspiration from the construction of a tree, Japanese architect Akihisa Hirata has designed a treehouse-like home in the heart of Tokyo. Being placed in a country with very different building regulations, it is proven that Japanese architecture pushes the boundaries in terms of what is considered a house/home.

Despite its box-like appearance, this home lets in a lot more lighting than imagined, as well as features concrete and whiteness in each and every room. Glass and structure are evident through the design, but despite all the angular shapes and height changes, it somehow still feels extremely homely and comfortable.

Hello Everyone

Concrete is the main building material in this beach home in Tamarama, Sydney. And despite concrete not being a frequently used material in seaside homes, it works amazingly well with the subtle colours and views of the ocean. The calming and relaxing wood and brown tones help even out the harshness of the chosen materials, as well as the featured curves and crashing waves from the sea. 

Another reason why concrete was a perfect choice was due to its properties and ability to withstand the harsh seaside weather, with all its salt, humidity and wind. Despite its usual avoidance, concrete was a perfect choice.
