CORSICAN HOME

This amazing house located on the island of Corsica is the family home of Carol Gerland, the director of communication for Zadig & Voltaire. The natural building materials blend with the rugged landscape, decoration in itself. So simple & beautiful.
I don't know about you, but i can certainly see myself spending some time by that pool!
Imagine long lazy days here…& balmy evening nights with a French Rose & BBQ seafood...

Dream House {Nick Noyes Architecture}

I am besotted with this house by Nick Noyes Architecture that i spotted on the Cococozy blog. 
This could quite possibly be my dream house - i could just move right in!

'Located on Fitch Mountain with expansive views of the Alexander valley,
 this single family residence is composed of four iconic metal-roofed gabled wings that are connected by an open breezeway 
& transparent entry & passage zones fabricated from a steel window & door system'.

House in Rio de Janeiro

I stumbled across this home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by Progetto Arquitetura & Interiores on Design Milk
 ...wow wow & more wow!

The goal was to create a union between the indoor and outdoor areas using a contemporary language. That language — being awesome — allowed them to create an expanded area for leisure activities that feels very much a part of the entire residence. There are three main levels: the social areas (kitchen, living, dining) on the bottom floor and then the bedrooms and private areas on the top two. There are two sets of stairs (one for service) and an elevator. Using high ceilings to create large yet integated spaces

Love the great spacious and airy feel and the use minimal natuaral matrerials like stone & timber, the landscaping & palms also really set off the neutral colour pallete. My two favourite features are the huge shutters opening to the pool (and how fantastic that palm looks infront of them!) & the vision through the huge pivot front door to the stairs and how they've used the timber here. Something as simple as the slat work & cladding the stairs to create a really 'architectural' look.



This image gives me the fuzzies!!
