Beautiful apartment!

This home is nothing that is easily described in text. Because there is no ordinary dwelling that can be described in text. The home, which is on the market by Historiska hem, has undergone a fantastic transformation thanks to the architect Andreas Martin-Löf and the current owner’s feeling, drive and good taste Långbro chapel, today a detached villa of 170 living space plus 19 square meters of building area (upper level with sloping roof), is located in a lush little park area. Despite the chapel’s huge church windows, there is no transparency, but a wonderful light penetration, which, thanks to the foliage outside, throws beautiful patterns on the pompous stone floor. The inspiration for the green wall and joinery colors, which are consistently downstairs, come from the color scheme from the early turn of the century. In particular, the darker green tone of the joinery, which today is not so often seen, has revived the chapel. …

This beautiful period building in the heart of Chelsea presented both a wonderful opportunity and a number of distinct challenges for designer Ana Engelhorn. On one hand, the property boasted high ceilings, great light, and a number of original and characterful features. On the other, many spaces weren’t being used to their full potential and the interior decor was so beige there was no discernible personality. The initial brief was straightforward: create more useable space, particularly in the kitchen and dining areas, and uncover as many of the original features as possible – especially the floorboards.Stripping the carpets away, they discovered that the previous owner had left the 200-hundred-year-old original floorboards intact throughout the house. This created the perfect base in which to add warmth and character to the rooms, letting the incredible history of the building shine through.

Amidst the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains of Montana in a private ski community, interior designer Lauren Weiss helped her clients to create their dream vacation home.  She wanted the home to exude warmth and coziness through various textures and natural materials – wools, linen, mohair, natural stone, wood, and leather. With the sprawling mountain views, connecting the home’s design to nature wasn’t too difficult.  Lauren believes that a home should be inviting and well-curated and a reflection of those who actually inhabit it. She is adept at weaving together styles and periods. A 19th century Swedish Gustavian chest can live in harmony with a sculptural lamp from the 1970s: this tension is what makes a room interesting. She loves working with color and pattern but is also grounded in neutrals and texture and appreciates both in equal measure. Enjoy it !!! Photography : Whitney Kamman

When Feldman Architecture’s clients purchased a stunning lot nestled among the hills above San Jose, they dreamed of an equally stunning structure that sat lightly on the dramatic hill slope. The original building had burned down some years before, leaving behind its foundation and an unnaturally flat plot cut into the hillside.The clients, when thinking of their future home, expressed the desire to accommodate a growing family, providing space for children to flourish and play both inside and out, and to feed their love for gardening and the outdoors. The home, therefore, is designed to take advantage of its California locale- many rooms spill directly into the surrounding landscape, patios, and gardens. The entryway welcomes visitors into its defining feature: a glass pavilion that serves as the home’s great room. The glass walls disappear into the hills, eliminating visual barriers between the home and the valley below. The exposed steel…

Melina Romano is a design studio that research and develop residential, corporate and hotel projects. One of their latest project is Estudio Hygge a minimalist space located in São Paulo, Brazil. Hygge is a Danish word that has no translation into other languages, but that suggests comfort, delicacy and simplicity for the home. For this project the designers challenged themselves to tropicalize this Scandinavian concept somewhat. And it was in this game between colors, textures and materialities that they found the exact point between hot and cold, between modern and bucolic, so that the home is also that basis that will allow us to achieve our own balance to be what we want, multiple human beings.
