Mastro Skylar Architects
Thu, 24 Dec 2009Emily emailed Jo and I recently hoping we could find her some inspirational photos for a dilemma she has with her bedroom. Due to the chaos involved with trying to get ready for the holidays, our help will have to be postponed a little bit. In the meantime I thought we could showcase the work of her very talented aunt and uncle, James Mastro and Claudia Skylar of Mastro Skylar Architects. I cannot even fathom how awesome it would be to have architects in the family. I know I would certainly save up some dough, get myself a plot of land and have them design me the house of my dreams. So to start I thought I'd showcase some photos of Emily's aunt and uncle's own home, a converted 1905 carriage repair shop. "This is our house: filled with light and space and our favorite stuff. Airy but cozy. Colorful but neutral. Sometimes playful, sometimes elegant. Radical ways of organizing space that make perfect sense. Understand our house and you’ll know everything there is to know about us."
I think the greenhouse is my favourite space. (What a dream!) And here are a few more spaces they've designed.

Merry Christmas to you both!
Oh, I wish I could "sing" that well! The spaces shown in the photos are lovely and I will await reading about the dilemma. Silly me, I am intrigued by the adorable little aluminum trash cans showing up in several of the pictures, that must be for recycling. I'm looking very hard for something for my own recycling in my soon to be finished breakfast room/sitting room/hound lounge that will not be too offensive. The ones in the photos are quite fun! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you all as well!
Everyone in the family gives them puzzles every Christmas. Guaranteed.
happy hollidays too! thanks for making my mornings better with your nice blog.
