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. Its location offers the tenants spectacular views over the adjoining Hauraki Gulf, while indoors a whole world [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

If you loved the Flinstones as much as we did, as you were growing up, then you’ll love this spectacular luxury villa, for sale for $3.5 million in Malibu. The home we found on My Modern Metropolis used to belong to beloved TV anchor and star Dick Clark and his wife, and it seems the two were major nature lovers. Everything about [...]

We’ve seen well designed mountain cabins before, but the one penned and constructed by Amsterdam-based studio Denieuwegeneratie is entirely special for several reasons. Its construction was completed in November 2011, and the conditions of the process were delicate to say the least, as the two-story home is located on a “historical agricultural plot amidst hayfields and woods in a nature reserve, a [...]

Trust the Japanese to come up with an architecture and design concept that is at once innovative, economic and visually appealing. This the case with the recently featured Cube Tube by Sako Architects, which they created for the Chinese Jinhua development area. The building was conceived in stark contrast with the irregular patterning of its natural surroundings. It is almost geometrically impeccable, [...]

In case you didn’t know, museums can be awfully cool, too, as demonstrated by the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy. The structure was designed by Jan Kaplicky and Andrea Morgante, also known as Future Systems, a design studio who won the project competition back in 2004. Kaplicky unfortunately passed away in 2009, and the daunting task was handed over to his [...]

We generally like to complain that our homes are too small to get creative with, and then dream of the day when we’ll own a spacious loft, a mansion of something of the sort. The creative interior design pros at Spain’s Ferrolan LAB ignored this mindset altogether and proved size is completely irrelevant, if you throw just the right amount of style, [...]

We admit it. Normally, we would never consider living in a building that was once used for industrial purposes, but this former water pumping station in Northern England changed our minds once and for all. Its elegantly post-industrial exterior in weathered brick stands gracefully in the midst of green pastures, now turned into impeccable lawns. The interiors are a whole different story, [...]

How each of us imagines their dream home is largely a matter of personal taste, but we don’t think anyone would object to this exquisite mansion located in the Hollywood Hills. It’s superb from one end to the next, from the most major features to its most minute of décor details. First off, the spectacular location is amazingly played out thanks to [...]

All right, we admit it – we’re crazy about New York, and this 380 sq m penthouse with a 75 sq m roof terrace just made us a wee bit crazier! It’s got everything you might wish for in matters of interior design, from lavish textiles (check out that cozy-looking rug in the living room!), to lots of space, to exotic décor [...]
