Modern beach house living. A colour palette of sea and sand. Clean lined contemporary take on an endless summer of family and friends. Clovelly House by one of my favourite designers Brett Mickan Interior Design. Photography by Thomas Dalhoff.
Bayside Apartments designed by Melbourne-based Rob Mills Architects and Interior Designers. Ultra contemporary with a simple colour palette and natural finishes of stone and timber. Sleek, stylish, modern living.
Sorry folks, I didn't receive enough pets on furniture entries while I was away for a post today (you can send them to kim[@]desiretoinspire[.]net), but I do have a funky, modern 2 bedroom home that is for rent in London via Domus Nova. It is designed by architects Teatum + Teatum who believe in creating all of their properties to rent to make great architecture available to as many people as possible. By using simple and affordable materials that are available in local hardware outlets they are showing how we can make something special with a limited budget. In this home they made use of sterling board (otherwise known as OSB) which is readily available and inexpensive. That combined with concrete, metalwork and painted brick (I personally would have loved seeing more of the brick) makes for a very interesting textural eye candy.
The brief was to create a 65 square meter extension including an open plan kitchen / living / dining room for a house in Highgate, North London. LLI Design have created a relaxed easy space, uncluttered and unfussy but with a warm family feel, combining new furniture pieces with existing artworks. Delicious pops of colour bring the scheme to life.
I have one more New Zealand home by Bull O'Sullivan Architecture to share with you. This one has a bit less wood used than the last, and instead features alot of green carpeting which to my horror, I really enjoy. It is like being in a forest, and the carpet is the mossy, grassy ground. And I have a thing for random size windows, so that sliver of a window in the bedroom (complete with shutters it looks like) is going into my inspiration folder.
