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

It's official! October has already begun, and I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't one of my favourite months. The seasons are clearly changing, the air is slightly colder, it's finally time to bring out the winter jumpers and hot drinks are a must! For me being a student, it also marks the beginning of a new academic year, and the exciting things that come a long with it! In the next few weeks, I have some posts scheduled for you all, so bear with me and keep on the look out.

As for today's post, I thought I'd try and create a moodboard for the month that somewhat explains the warmth that I feel inside! Hence the pumpkins, and the knits!

If you had 3 words, to sum up your Autumn/Fall, which would you choose? Mine are: Warmth, Excitement and Relaxation.

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

September. The month where everything starts fresh again. The chance to see the change over from Summer into the beginnings of Autumn. The cold chills start to arrive, and the warmer wardrobe is both pulled out and dusted off.

For my own forecasting for this month, I plan to get back into the groove of being frequently busy, as I've just had time off from uni. And I also plan to create another plan for the last quarter of the year~ I'm feeling turtlenecks (of course!), work trousers and playful take on footwear! I'm already excited, for the weekly cup of hot chocolate!

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.
