Like a child's drawing. A rudimentary shape recognisable as a house. It wasn't there yesterday. Now settling softly in a new mown field with walls closed, little hint of what awaits within. Throw open the walls and breath deep. A simple structure, a simple life. Simply a dream. The ÁPH80 portable home by Spanish firm ÁBATON.
Here is another project by Chiara Ferrari Design that also caught my eye. The large open living room and minimalist kitchen are sooooo lovely. The studio has been appointed to refurbish an apartment within a historic building, in the Bialik area of Tel Aviv, into a minimalist home. The concept of seamlessness has been an important aspect in the design of the apartment. Its open-plan arrangement allows the natural light from the large existing windows to flow through the building, and the materials used, spans the surfaces with no visible joins. The high ceilings have allowed the space to split into levels to create flexible, functional spaces. A glazed extension provides the Master Bedroom and Bathroom with natural light and creates a scenic view into the local area. Adding locally sourced materials has kept the design true to the buildings past and surroundings.
... in the best way. I love this small atelier designed by Parisian designer extraordinaire Sarah Lavoine. To drown in the deep sea blue yet be bouyed by walls of white and rafts of texture. Petite yet packed with style.
There's a saying - "When it rains it pours." I'm finding too many great homes real estate stalking. It seems to be either feast or famine when I'm pounding the "virtual" pavements, stalking all the good homes on my local real estate site. I promise this is my last for the week. Promise ;) I just thought it was so cute. Teeny, tiny, two storey in Surry Hills, Sydney. An old home with a lot of life in her yet. Link here while it lasts.
I can't help it. I'm still stalking. Still stalking Potts Point in Sydney. Still stalking small apartments. Still stalking the urban cool or in this case the urban sophisticated. A wonderfully dark, masculine space by interior designer Darren Palmer. Luxe finishes. Luxe living. Definitely high end in a wonderful art deco building in the heart of the action. Link here while it lasts.
