An incredibly charming 1960’s house modernised by architectural salvage and design firm, Retrouvious. Lovely parquet floors, winding staircase, mid-century furniture.
And there’s something refreshing about those old-school, oversized sliding glass doors.

This summer house in Maine, an icon of modern design by Isamu Noguchi and Wallace K. Harrison, burned to the ground in 1999. Only recently has it been rebuilt – returning it (respectfully) to it’s original state.
It’s simply beautiful.

The new VitraHaus from architects Herzog & de Meuron (who designed the Tate Modern and the Beijing ‘Bird’s Nest’ amongst other iconic buildings) is a stunning, singular structure made up of 12 stacked, cantilevered houses.
I think it’d make an amazing apartment block.
And I’d live in the top one.
