We love when a simple idea can have a huge impact on an interior space, as illustrated today by the Schlaudhaus designed by Webber + Studio Architects in Austin, Texas. What simple idea, you ask? Why the sexy addition of a room divider made up of painted, installed-close-together vertical 2 x — Continue reading
Can water flow up stream? Well, the Nile does. What about up hill? Well according to James Dyson, of vacuum cleaner fame, it does. Or it is an illusion? It is indeed and well done. The secret is deceptively simple: the water is actually flowing inside and through the — Continue reading
Does anyone else ever fantasize about running away to some remote yet gorgeous landscape with a teeny tiny modern home, small enough to pull with a truck? We can’t be the only one, which is why we occasionally drool over the website, Tiny House Listings. One day. In the mean — Continue reading
Crosson Clark Carnachan Architects hit one out of the ball park with their cute and clever Whangapoua Sled House.

I’d consider getting waxed for this! Located in the upscale neighborhood of Polanco, Mexico City, this is the second branch of Wax Revolution, a new epilation chain based in Mexico.

You know, as much as we love drooling over stunningly modern homes that only the very luckiest and richest few could probably afford, we also enjoy loving on a home that is totally accessible! You can say that’s our whole raison d’etre here at 2Modern — showing you that modern, — Continue reading
Life MUST be difficult for whoever lives in the Owhanake Bay House in Waiheke Island, New Zealand designed by Strachan Group Architects. It’s like they’re living in some desolate prison yard. Yuck…NOT. “Located on Waiheke Island, a 19km ferry journey from down-town Auckland, the Owhanake Bay house hunkers-down below a ridge — Continue reading
The angled lines of this little refuge are unmistakably dramatic and functional. It is all about the outdoors with the emphasis on the terrace, while the triangular walls protect the Villa Mecklin from the wind, provide some shade and give privacy. Villa Mecklin, designed by Huttunen-Lipasti-Pakkanen Architects, is located — Continue reading
Nothing says “I have serious style” like an all black kitchen. This particular space has fantastic worn cabinetry that has been updated with a nice coat of black. The subway tiles filling the wall give the kitchen a fresh and clean vibe, while the lights above the sink add an — Continue reading
We love modern. Like, real modern that is sleek and kind of looks like the interior of a space ship. We also like modern in terms of Mid-Century Modern. Retro modern. Shapes and lines that hearken back to that awesome period of design time. So when the two mix? Whoo — Continue reading
Bright, fresh and airy. That’s all we’re really looking for in a modern space (well, except when we’re looking for something cozy and dark…or something else…we like a lot of stuff, okay?!) and the Tarrytown House remodel by Austin-based Webber + Studio delivers like a mofo. We’re fainting over those — Continue reading

It’s a concept as old as time in interiors and architecture: “Bring the outdoors in.” With good reason. Us humans like cavorting with nature, and we like it even more when we can cavort from the comforts of our own home. Here are eight spaces that do a great job — Continue reading
Austin’s Viva Day Spa, designed by Joel Mozersky, is a perfect balance of natural elements with a little bit of luxurious glam.

This is great example of a “bring the outdoors in” sort of design. You really feel a connection between the interior spaces and the outdoor areas, yet the design of each is very distinct. You don’t necessarily feel like you’re inside when you’re out or vice versa, you just feel — Continue reading
