We don’t know how you feel about architecture in all-white, but we are simply smitten with the Cocoon Suites project from Athens-based design studio Klab Architecture. The project was commissioned for the interior design of the Andronikos Hotel on the Greek Island of Mykonos. The end result is spectacular, as curved white rooms replicate the island’s traditional architecture vernacular. There are [...]

In terms of interior design, there are so many things we like about the FJ House project, completed by Guilherme Torres in 2010, that we don’t even know where to start. The 1,453 square foot apartment in great post-industrial style, is located in Sao Paulo, which is also the design studio’s home-base. Its owner is a young, single businessman and DJ (watch [...]

Architecture in the concept/project stage is proof to the limitlessness of human imagination. Take the “cross # towers” project proposal by BIG for the Yongsang Master Plan. The future development, to be situated in Seoul, Korea, was designed by Studio Liebeskind for DreamHub, a Korean development project. The towers, with a total surface of 21,000 square meters will stand at 214 and [...]

Successful architecture projects manage to blend location and design in a coherent whole, and that’s what the Owhanake Bay House in New Zealand does. Designed by local studio Strachan Group Architects, the home towers above the coast of Waiheke Island in the beautiful country down-under.

Trust the South Americans to bring color, glass and fabulous detailing into interior design and architecture, as Fernanda Marques Arquitetos Associados did with the Malibu Residence. This luxury duplex apartment, located in Malibu, California, was designed by the Sao Paulo-based studio with the aim of “escaping the obvious, presenting innovating solutions and making full use of technology.” Downstairs, the living areas were [...]

They say design is all about visuals, not words and stories, but the Superheroes furniture collection created by the Sweden-based Glimpt studio for Cappellini disproves that theory. For all the beautiful colors and organic shapes and materials that define these armchairs, they also hold a fascinating backstory, which reaches out to their manufacturing process and into the tradition of Vietnam. There is [...]

Spain’s Maximo Riera is a major name in contemporary furniture design, and if you don’t know his famous ‘Animal Collection’ of armchairs, get to it now! Why? Because there is a lot to be said about the impressive level of detail employed, as well as by the lavish materials he uses. Check out his rhino, octopus and walrus, then take a look [...]

Every once in a while furniture design takes our breath away, which is what happened when we saw the Juliet leather armchair Benjamin Hubert designed for Poltrona Frau. The famous Italian brand decided to celebrate one hundred years of beautifying luxury homes the world over with a competition, titled the search for the Centenary armchair. London-based industrial designer Hubert won with this [...]

Jewelry design is entirely different from interior design and architecture, but that didn’t stop Amsterdam-based Frank Tjepkema from creating this sparkly Invader Aiko ring. The beautiful, shimmering item is the conceptualized, pixelated version of Space Invaders character and audience darling, none other than Invader Aiko himself. It comes in sterling silver and will definitely delight some of the more old-school gamers around, [...]

Furniture design can be incredibly exciting in today’s innovative day and age, and that’s the lesson Green Tuna Design teach us with their Bamboo Puzzle Laptop Stand. The item created by the small Belgian creative studio is entirely made of bamboo wood, it’s cleverly shaped and, of course, completed with all-sustainable resources. It’s engraved with the studio’s logo and it’s not that [...]

We found a spectacular home, designed in all-white, for sale in Wellington Point, Queensland, Australia and reconsidered our thoughts on contemporary architecture. For one thing, the home located on 11 Allan Day Drive seems to refute the argument according to which white is impersonal and cold, as well as difficult to maintain, from more pragmatic points of view. The 824 square meter [...]

We love it when architecture gets creative, and the Squish Studio by Saunders Architecture is all about creativity… and location. On first thought, there might seem nothing impressive or extraordinarily inspiring about positioning an artist’s studio outside a small town such as Tilting, at the eastern end of Fogo Island – but then you get to have a gander at the pictures [...]

The BeautifuList may have gotten you used to stand-out examples of minimalist architecture, but today’s duplex from SHH is anything but. To use a term we don’t like to throw around or employ lightly, these two apartments turned into a single, spacious, 4,700 square foot home is lavish at the very least. It’s located on the 14th and 15th floors of a [...]

Contemporary Eastern European architecture seems to have nothing in common with the area’s somewhat Oriental-influenced past, say the designers at Bucharest-based studio Square ONE. They recently put together a spectacularly modern-looking penthouse in one of the Romanian capital’s new developments, and the apartment looks like it could very well be located in any of the world’s major metropolises – from Stockholm to [...]

Design in general and architecture in particular sometimes borrow from the world at large, as is the case with sky-scraper concept World of Chlorophyll, designed by the IAMZ Design Studio. Ahmed Elseyofi from IAMZ came up with this spectacularly shaped tower, meant to grace the streets of the city that never sleeps, also known as New York City. According to the project [...]

Architecture is one of the most noble of all arts, it is said, and the geniuses at ILMIODESIGN, who designed the Hotel Portago Urban in Granada, Spain, sure attest to the veracity of these words. Their creation is at once comfortable and ultra-modern, spectacular and relaxing, playful and aesthetically rigorous. The most notable aspect about this ultra-chic boutique hotel is its multi-layered [...]

All too often it has been said that contemporary design produces homes that are functional and appealing, yet not at all comfortable. Haus W, a 3,000 square-foot residential project by Potts Architects proves that sleek post-modern lines can be cozy, as well as cool and state-of-the-art-like. On the outside, the home is all paneling and windows, not to mention the fact that [...]

How do you feel about camping? We’re quite keen on the concept, so, naturally, we were terribly excited to see what French designer Pierre-Stèphane Dumas made of it, with his Bubbletree series of items. The Frenchman essentially took the basic tent, turned it into a sphere, rendered it transparent and made sure it is still completely functional. Each bubble has one room, [...]

When we say that the Tea House situated in the backyard of the Archi-Union Architects J-office is strange, we mean it in the best way possible. Visually, the place is a blend of worn, torn and melancholy, with contemporary minimalistic furniture and some of the most visually riveting volumes we’ve seen in ages. The structure was developed and deployed by the Shanghai-based [...]

On first glance, there is nothing particularly striking about this home. Just your run-of-the-mill regular little cottage in Baden, France. In actuality, the house features a spectacular bioclimatic concept, ‘penned’ and materialized by French architect Patrice Bideau. The project brief called for a home surrounded by a beautifully manicured garden and a natural swimming pool. Since these were the specific pre-requisites, it [...]

Did you know that there is such a thing as luxurious minimalism in interior design? In case you didn’t know, allow us to explain and illustrate with the Celio Apartment, designed and put together by Carola Vannini. The lovely home started out as a complex project, which the interior designer gracefully took care of by equipping it with brilliant (i.e., highly intelligent) [...]

If you thought swanky lofts came exclusively from chic, high-end places in the world, such as Stockholm, Tokyo or New York, then allow this home in Moldovan capital Chisinau prove you wrong. The ample and luminous home, with plenty of colorful details set against a neutral background, was designed by local studio Grosu Art, also known as GAS. And they sure did [...]
