Here it is the end of the week and I'm still lost in Michael Wee's portfolio. This time I've been wandering through the stunning gardens he has photographed. I'm particularly taken by the city backyards. Small spaces, clever ideas and great shots by Michael.
My last post was just not enough. There are so many inspiring spaces in Poteet Architects' portfolio. Like this porch!! In a word ... perfect. In another word ... fun. Rustic, practical but oh so stylish. You must head over to the website. Amazing homes, amazing interiors!!
It's a clever idea but often the idea never lives up to expectations. Not in this case. Poteet Architects, San Antonio, Texas have designed and executed a fab backyard retreat that still leaves no doubt as to its origins. I think what separates this conversion from some many other ho-hum versions is the attention to detail both internally and externally and especially in its siting and landscaping. Too cool! Just need to get my hands on a container.
A stone headland rises to meet the sea and sand. Manmade crests waves of pampas grass. In Punta del Este, Uruguay Martin Gomez Arquitectos design beach houses that meet the environment and embrace it. It's modern and it's sexy. It's hot and it's too cool. Thanks to María for sharing these as yet unpublished shots. If you want to see more inspiring houses by the design studio lead by Argentinian architect Martin Gomez then click over to their tumblr ... full of fabulous press tears and work. You'll remember the Tree house from Elle Decoration.
Paradise on a crescent beach of sherbet white sand. Domed pavilions straddle the ridge. Views filled with dreams of the spice routes. Exotic, exclusive, remote and relaxing. The name of this slice of heaven? Kilindi. Perhaps it's Swahili for perfect .........
