If you had to pick one color to represent fall, what would it be? For us, it’s orange. A deep, earthy, smokey-hued orange akin to pumpkins, falling leaves and, well, all the fall decor and memoriabilla that starts popping up around this time. Of course, there are lots of ways — Continue reading
Where do you shop for your home? The same high street store your mum dragged you round twenty years ago? Boring… Forget the mass-market hum-drum and dive into a brave new shopping experience online.
Sebastian’s art reminds us of the kind of art that might come out of a post-apocalptic urban environment. Compositions are frenetic, hurried, anxious maybe even angry. Or maybe we’re getting those emotions wrong, but we’re there are a lot of emotions of some sort here. Colors are dark, dramatic, even — Continue reading
As a general rule, concrete as a home building material often lacks that certain warmth one searches for in a home to settle down in. But there’s something about the Puntiro House by FLEXO Arquitectura in Puntiró, Mallorca, Spain that makes us feel a warmth from this modern material that we usually — Continue reading
Wow wow wow. Getting lots of inspiration from the Native Child Family Services building in Toronto, Canada, built by Levitt Goodman Architects Ltd. The details to this modern building are so subtle, thoughtful and pretty wonderful. From that geometric, natural longhouse inside the space, to the subtle tribal pattern of the — Continue reading
Does it seem like we focus on Texas-centered architects or Texas properties a lot around here? Well, it just so happens that your friendly blog editor-in-chief (Adrienne) lives in Texas (Austin, to be exact) but that’s not really why we focus on them (if you could say we focus on — Continue reading
Young kiddos need inspiring interiors, too. Don’t let the fact that this structure was built for cute, young learning things distract you from its simple beauty. In fact, there are a lot of things from this stunning interior you can take and use in a home. Like lots of natural — Continue reading
Today’s eye candy comes courtesy of super ebullient Minneapolis, Minnesota-based firm White Space Architecture. Loving the shapes and the materials and the straight lines mixed with curves and all the fun styles represented. Loving the views you get out of windows and the fun color palettes and the mixing of vintage — Continue reading
Is “minimal” in this home’s title? You have to know that we would be into that. Look, we don’t only think the word “modern” applies when it’s in conjunction with “minimal,” but the fact remains that very minimal spaces feel modern to us because they are usually distilled to their — Continue reading
If the name “Navy Chair” doesn’t ring any immediate bells for you, we bet that the sight of one in all its brushed aluminum, minimalist glory will definitely make the memory neurons fire in your brain. Emeco’s Navy Chair — a seamless, aluminum frame that is formed perfectly for ergonomics — Continue reading
This had us at “3oo years old.” And “Italian Villa.” And “renovated by Swiss Architects.” Is there any better combination than an old structure put through the filter of the sweet, modernist design sensibilities of the Swiss. The answer is no. And Casa Olivi is proof positive that the old — Continue reading
There’s a saying in design (we’re paraphrasing): “If you can’t change something, make it bigger. If you can’t make it bigger, make it red.” Now we don’t mean to imply that the giant red pizza oven wasn’t painted red intentionally, we’re just saying it certainly sticks out, doesn’t it? But — Continue reading
Today’s eye candy comes courtesy of super ebullient Los Angeles-based firm interFORM. What colors! What shapes and volumes! What great and sleek lines! And good lighting in these photographs, too! We love the mix of modern, contemporary and more in the exteriors and interiors of these homes. You can find interFORM, as — Continue reading
Modern is…seeing interiors that don’t relate to any interior you ever grew up in, but still appreciating it and finding tidbits of inspiration in it. The House RNG is a lovely, earthy, pared-back interior look that mixes cultural styles to create a simply stunning array of feelings and textures and — Continue reading
Being that we’re such huge fans of photography here, it might not surprise you to know we’re pretty big fans of photo-realistic paintings, too. We think we like the split second illusion of not being sure if what you’re looking at is a photograph or a painting. Christopher Stott is — Continue reading
Last night I was thinking about getting business cards with rounded corners and I thought to myself how nice rounded corners are. They’re still structural but not too harsh. They still tell a shape story but just not scream it from the rooftops. They are sleek, but also kind of — Continue reading
We think our love of this house in Argentina has a lot to do with volumes–and visible ones at that. There’s a comforting familiarity with modern architecture that doesn’t aim to confuse or surprise, but just provides an honest picture of what you might expect on the interior. This presentation — Continue reading
We are so into textured, rough-hewn, natural-colored stone walls right now. The longer and more horizontal the stone block, the better. Once very popular in the 1960s and 1970s, they’re highly coveted by Mid-Century Modern affcienados but we have to say, they also kind of rock it in really modern, — Continue reading
While we explore a number of different types and ideas of modern architecture, let’s get back to a nice classic example, shall we? You look at this home, known as the Airstream House, and you just totally think modern. It’s got sleek lines and a narrow footprint that makes it — Continue reading
Today’s eye candy comes courtesy of super versatile Racine, Wisconsin-based firm Genesis Architecture. What a surprise-filled portfolio this was to us! You don’t often come across firms who excel in two very distinct styles, but Genesis Architecture seems to be able to create really sleek, modern spaces (inside and out) but also — Continue reading
