Some dispute him, some celebrate him and in whichever group you fall into, you cannot sideline the magnitude of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work and influence in the word’s architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright’s student Jorge Elton was inspired by Wright’s work, and he had designed the Chilean hotel Antumalal while drawing on that inspiration. Many a great men…
The little tea house for book lovers
This ‘tiny’ 300 square meters house captivates with its minimalistic style; concrete, which is usually a cold and unpleasant material plays a completely different role in this case – it provides a feeling of warmth. I like this Shanghai house better than the condo for book lovers. A view to the forrest is unprecedented and…
The house for zenification
On the outside, it looks like an old, traditional house, but one you’ve entered the courtyard, this villa (made by the company MCK Architects) turns into a modern house with only a few walls, which according to its makers influence your ZEN-ification?? Just by looking at the pictures I’m falling into a blissful state. [Via…
An apartment for those who love open spaces
When I first glanced upon the photos of this apartment I thought to myself: “OMG, this is my place?” After a quick comparison, I’ve realized that this apartment has white kitchen panels and I have black ones, it has a dining table made from a natural massive solid wood and I have a white one,…
Feminine rooms
I don’t really know what does it suppose to mean that an interior room design is feminine but I suppose that it wasn’t drawn for a woman but rather BY a woman. I really can’t feel or see it. Do you find these fancy rooms feminine or do you also see there a macho man…
House in Chile for my wife’s Birthday
Chilean company UNarquitectura has built a dream house for my eyes only to fantasize about, and perhaps in which I’ll be living soon. Well, that’s not very real now is it, but, if you want something long and hard enough, it might come true.. So this wooden porch will remain engraved into my brain and the details…
White Scandinavian flat with a Santorini bedroom
When you look at this apartment, it is the ordinary, beautifully arranged white Scandinavian apartment – with white walls, Scandy carpetstry (I invented this word), furnace in the corner of the living room… And then, when you go upstairs, you realize that this Scandy owner is a Greek guy that really misses Santorini and asked…

Shining sink from Rapsel
This sink with a code name “Vision” by company Rapsel is so good and will make people from its surrounding to wash their hands more often. “Vision” shines in the dark, and also during the daylight, because it was made from alicrite (translucent material), and has the light bulb hidden inside it. Dimension of this…
10 black and white hallways
They say the hallway of a house or apartment is the mirror of the tenant’s/host’s soul. I wonder what the soul of a person who paints the hallway black and white looks like? Tak a look at other black and white combos for apartment decoration. I liked them.. Via my friends DigsDigs

San Lorenzo mountain house
The only thing I dislike about this beautiful mountain cabin is the herd of gutted animals spread out all over the place, but such is the mountain, wild, the people have to defend themselves somehow. It’s irrelevant to mention that they don’t really have to decorate their walls with heads of dead animals, but I…

Spectacular riverside apartment in London
This spectacular apartment with a gigantic living room and surreal view of the river costs only 14 000 Pounds a week to rent, so why wouldn’t I book a cheap flight to London to rest for a few days. Via Home-designing.
Wooden bathroom
Wood is rarely in the bathroom. Usually we use metal, plastic and of course ceramics. And more ceramics. And tiles. Made of ceramics. What is great about Francoceccoti bathrooms is the fact that the parts are made of wood. And this natural range for bathtubs, lavatories and accessories are pointless to explain. Just use your…
Vent chair
Milena Miličić and Andreja Georgijevkski are working together.. It takes a team to do the best projects.. Here’s what I’m talking about.. -Industrial ventilation shafts and toilet paper rolls have served as an inspiration for this project. The idea was to eliminate the classic seat and to use less materials all the while keeping the…
Old but good – A rest in the Nestrest
I’m getting ready to decorate my garden and I don’t know what furniture to put in it. I’ve got many wooden beams scattered around my weekend-house’s courtyard, which I don’t know exactly how to use but I could build all kinds of constructions with them. I’ve looked long and hard for something to use in…

Cabin with movable walls
Olson Kundig Architects.. This intriguing square-shaped cabin was designed by the Olson Kundig Architects, an architectural bureau with such a rich portfolio that it gave me a headache. They also sport one of the coolest websites, and it wasn’t built in Flash – it appears as if it was but it’s not, it’s all in…

Overhauling an old house
Alessandro Armando and Manfredo di Robilant overhauled this 19th-century house. Actually it looked like a 20th century rural garage or something. This house is in Boston, just besides MIT campus. I don’t know what to say because I didn’t see the house before redecoration, but it looks more than perfect for me now. And then-some.…
The Weird or What Houses
Would you live in one of these? Chances are many of us urban dwellers live in dull, standardized buildings – boxes, which were probably designed in under 15 minutes with nothing but a ruler. Even if that’s not the case, anyone would certainly use a change of scenery and surroundings, at least for a short…
Less Is More In A Modern Home
Apartments are usually overstuffed with furniture like massive tables, rugs, huge dressers and commodes – all leading to a feeling of reduced comfort and lack of space in a place where we should feel most comfortable. Minimalist home on the other hand, has its advantages – less stress from clutter, more appealing to eye, easier…
