She is a house in the Southern Bahia area of Brazil and the daughter of the home's designer Jan Eleni. Casa Lola means Lola's House. It also means perfection. Oh what a house! Rustic and white. Cool and casual. Relaxed and boho chic. This wonderful home has been popping up on a couple of blogs but, my oh my, I couldn't resist. Even better than dreaming about it? It's available to rent.
From Andy Martin Architects. Light and dark. Black and white. Solid and void. Weight and weightlessness. Day and night. The power of contrast and the beauty of simplicity of line.
Mews 02 is a single residence set in Belsize Park. The owners, a musician and his designer wife, wanted this existing mechanics garage to be converted to a 4 level family home, with the emphasis on the entertaining areas and with the ability to create private compartments over for sleeping.
Two for today. Two family homes that start with similar bone structure and end up with two different results. It's like aging. The first old dear has seen a plastic surgeon, gone under the knife and filled up on botox. Still I wouldn't call it mutton done up as lamb. Or would I? The second home has excepted growing old and tarted up with a little makeup and a lot of attitude but still looks a little tired. Perhaps a visit to a cosmetic clinic is in order? One thing I know for sure is that a "woman of a certain age" needs sympathetic lighting to take a good picture. Links here and here.
From the man who bought you this ...
... there now is this. Ah! Sound the trumpets. Polish up the crown. In the pantheon of photographers this man is king. All hail Martin Löf. Oh my I'm flustered. I'm gushing. Brilliant yes?
