A peek at a loft in Antwerp

This loft is the home of Jon & Masa of the duo behind the design studio LMBRJK (check out their stools - DROOL!). It's just a little peek. You'll have to go over to Coffeeklatch to see the rest. 

And for a bonus treat, check out designer Piet Hein Eek's workshop on ALL ITEMS LOADED (from the folks behind Coffeeklatch). More drooling!

Landing

Love the idea of using the space on a landing as something more than a change of direction. B&B designed by Belgian architects Not Before Ten.

If there was ever a time...

...when I wanted to dive through my monitor and experience the photos we feature, now would be the ultimate. Absolutely beautiful. Via Nicolas Schuybroek Architects.

An architect's home

I adore this home of architect Nicolas Schuybroek that he renovated. It was a slum dwelling and with a minimal budget we've been able to renovate it from the ground floor all the way up. We're standing in my office, which used to be a well-known gastronomic restaurant and back in the forties this space housed a butcher shop. The beautiful tiles on the wall remind us of that period. First, I was thinking of removing them because they aren't in good condition. But now I'm glad I didn’t. The same goes for other decorative elements in the house, such as the fireplace, the moldings, the wooden doors and floors and the staircase. We really wanted to preserve the volumes and charm of the building, although its charm is largely defined by the collection of furniture. The classic style mixed with midcentury iconic lighting and furniture and neutral colour palette really do it for me. I could absolutely live here. For more fabulous photos of Nicolas' home check out the very cool Coffeeklatch (featured with permission).
