Best Private Home

Bjarne Mastenbroek and Christian Muller have designed this one of a kind, award-winning private home based in Switzerland. I was so amazed by its construction and even more amazed by the fact that it is consolidated with the environment. The interiors are actually made up of concrete, emanating a cool atmosphere with a touch of warmth and comfort brought by the choice of furniture surrounding the space.
The best thing about this villa is that anyone from anywhere in the world is more than welcome to experience what it feels like to live in such a home, as they rent the place out :)

Home of Jamie Laubhan-Oliver and Larry Oliver

Situated in the renowned neighborhood of Dallas, this residential space belongs to art director Jamie Laubhan-Oliver and designer Larry Oliver for Neiman Marcus (The Book). The interiors are spectacular, the idea of having a black and white theme using antique furniture, with a spunk of art deco is absolutely appealing as it radiates a classic and deluxe mood. Love it.

Exclusive Vintage Apartment

I am not at all a fan of pink, nevertheless the incorporation of the old and new in this apartment is very impressive! Recycled collectables have been used to garnish the place, as well as some interesting classic elements such as the chandeliers. I like that the space emits an industrial feel due to its color palette and certain furnishings. However, my favorite thing about this whole place would have to be the SMEG fridge that definitely brings life to the kitchen, I have always been fascinated by those and desperately want one for myself. I don't own a home as of yet, but when I do, I most certainly will make space for that fridge!

Soho Synagogue

I never thought that I would ever write a post about a synagogue but this one is a must see! This space was actually once a Gucci store in Crosby Street and designer Dror Benshetritt managed to transform it into a modish Soho Synagogue. I think the whole strategy of integrating spiritual conventions with trend-setting aesthetics is just brilliant, and what is more tasteful is the fact that most of the elements within the confines of this space are actually re-used materials.
