Tesco virtual store in South Korea [REPOST]
This was so good, I had to repost it again.. And probably will again and again… We’re all familiar with the stresses of shopping in those huge supermarkets, giant hangars with little air and neon lights like a hen house.. It eats away on our time like a black hole.. Look how Tesco has addressed…
Black box found in Netherlands
This black box may be unappealing at first glance, but its interior is spacious, minimalist and all good. It’s in Arnhem, the Netherlands and it was done by BOETZKES|HELDER studio. I think it’s so clean because it’s not been moved in yet. It even has a moveable metal facade (honestly I find it despicable), which…
A mixture of styles in a Stockholm flat
This apartment is one of those with a mixture of styles in it and it’s overlooking the harbour in Stockholm, Sweden. Yeah, it’s the ones with those boring white apartments.. Okay, I get it, we set it all up nicely for the photoshoot, we polish it up, it’s all tight, all’s perfect.. but then what…
Norwegian wooden cabin I spent my vacation in
Not as beautiful as the beautiful house in Norway, but it’s still a paradise for both the body and soul.. The Norwegian wooden cabin in which I spent my vacation.. Stone, wood, stunning view of the fiord and silence.. All I need.. I wasn’t really there, but it felt good to write it so.. Via Arch…

Inspiration for bedroom design decoration and redecoration
I’ve hopped over to Alvhem and snatched a couple of photos of some cool bedrooms, to help you out with inspiration for bedroom design decoration and redecoration (should you need it)..

Apartment on Broadway Robert De Niro didn’t have

White apartment Tom Cruise would be jealous of
OK, a 50 square meter white apartment, of course from Alhem, of course boring, of course in Sweden and naturally, already sold.. But it has high ceilings and a view of the park and it’s what makes it special.. A few comments – nice retro armchair, TV should be thrown out of the bedroom, hardwood…
Barcode house – that wonderful stripes
Barcode house is in Washington, DC and it’s gotten that name because of the horizontal lines that resemble a gigantic barcode… Why each and every house has to have a name beats me but David says for the Romanian friends from Freshome that the project was a true research into the juxtaposition of old and new, light and…
They named this beauty a “Fish house”!?

A house to love and cherish and hate yourself for not living in it
A house in Capri An age-old philosophical question “What is the best?” regularly comes back to hit me in the face every time I want to title a text ‘The best house’ or ‘The best apartment’ because I just can’t – I will always run into something like this again and again. There’s no such…
Cape Town dream villa – if your dreams happen to be underwater
This dream villa created by the architects from Metropolis design studio had initially confused me for I did not expect to see someone still building these underwater rooms, or more precisely, under-pool rooms. What was that all about? Everything else about this poor villa is irrelevant because of that flop with the swimming pool.

Very nice apartment with the floor your Mom would like
Don’t they all come with floors Moms would like? Yes, sure, but this contrast of hardwood floor and white walls is particularly appealing. That’s why this work by Fran Silvestre Navarro and José Sáez Domingo has left me breathless. Although, it’s not too bad with the white floors either. You be the judge. This small apartment…

Astonishing modern duplex penthouse I’ll never live in
Who in God’s name ever Googles ‘modern duplex penthouse’? Apparently I do, and my reaction to this apartment in New York City was a decisive: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAHA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” I am still in that state of mind! Do not Google ‘Modern duplex apartment’ ever, never – it’s dangerous! Via Freshome.
Modern curvy house
This house designed by Ciel Rouge is breathtaking. I don’t have a lot of text in my posts anyway, so it’s not that hard to leave me speechless but just look at where this house is, look at that sight, check out the house and the backyard.. It’s depressing really! Lost for words. It wasn’t difficult. Via…
Very Insane carpets
Generally speaking, carpets are not a crucial element in an interior and their role in the total look and feel of a space is marginal – they usually lack an accentuated element that would captivate attention. However though, should you look at the following photos, you’d see that this is not always the case. If…

What on Earth is this? Moby Dick’s skeleton or an office desk?
Top designers always have their offices supremely designed! This Shanghai crew has recently designed and built two desks for their office – one for meetings and the other for reception.

Small condo design
This apartment is small, I mean really small: just 17 square meters (a bit under 200 sq. ft.) However though, owing to its high ceiling (and a splendid job by designers) this little place has become really practical and modern. This example shows the many tricks that are routinely applied when it comes to small…
