Mystery House

Posted in Inspirational, Interiors on May 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I’ve had these images of a residential interior for awhile now – but have no idea where I found them…. Argh. Enjoy this mystery home (with an entirely blackboarded office, and a stuffed zebra).  Happy Friday! *UPDATE:  I’ve been informed that it’s director Roland Emmerich’s home – which was profiled in the New York Times.  [...]

Wow – love this set of four traditional, Swedish stickback chairs from Lina Nordqvist for Design House Stockholm.  Each chair stands alone individually, but together (as a ‘family’) they look even better. Available soon! Via NOTCOT.

Adam Richards’ Quinta da Serra

Posted in Architecture, Inspirational, Interiors, tagged , on May 27, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Maybe it’s because I’m indecisive – but I think my ideal home would be an old property with a sympathetic, modern renovation.  This traditional stone property in Portugal (‘Quinta da Serra’) has been redesigned and renovated by Adam Richards Architects.   The interior has been completely reordered to suit modern life, the old stone walls [...]

How great are these fantastical works by ceramic artist, Jorine Oosterhoff?  Inspired by fairytales – each piece really seems like it could walk off the table. Below are Lady Marmalade, Mad Hatters (with their oversized lids) and Creamy Bastard.

Peter McDonald’s Art on the Underground

Posted in Art, tagged , on May 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Check out Peter McDonald‘s great work for Art on the Underground, including depictions of daily life at the Southwark station (which have been made into badges for staff and customers).  He’s also done two massive billboards (37 meters!) which are displayed outside the station. I don’t think I’ve ever been to Southwark… but now I [...]

Bevk Perović House

Posted in Architecture, Inspirational, tagged on May 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I love this house that appears to be asleep and then awake, from architecture firm Bevk Perović in Slovenia..  The built-in shutters / panels let the owners control the natural light depending on the time of day and season (and presumably make it more energy efficient).  This isn’t a new idea, of course, but I [...]

Love this work by illustrator Micah Lindberg.  I’m especially impressed with his 3 ‘bio patterns‘ at the bottom (which are great as desktop wallpaper!) Prints available here and here and here.

Selgas Cano Offices

Posted in Architecture, Inspirational, tagged on May 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

If you are lucky enough to work for architects Selgas Cano in Madrid – you get to go here every day.  Interestingly, it looks incredibly remote – which I think is part of its appeal.  However,  looking it up on google maps it looks like it’s in a surprisingly built up area (check it out [...]
