At the Venice Architecture Biennale 2010 Lisbon firm Aires Mateus Architects are exhibiting these houses with sandy floors called Casa Areia. The project comprises seaside accommodation made of wooden frames covered in natural fibres. Sand covers the floor in the kitchen and living space, connecting them to the beach and landscape outside.

The architects: “This project was build on the sand that is a natural and abundant material that was transported to the interior of the common places (the living room and the kitchen) giving this way the connection between the environment and the new and totally integrated construction.

Although it is still summer it more looks like autumn here in The Netherlands as it has been raining for days now. I will be preparing some autumn inspired posts for September but in the mean time I continue showing summer houses and summer colors. After all, according to the calendar, it is still summer!

Today gorgeous rich colors from the Mediterranean! Borrowing color from the surrounding sea and sky as inspiration, the Mediterranean has an abundance of deep blues, teals, and tans, but lavenders and greens and other deep colors sneak their way in through the flora of the area.

This stunning house is located on the Cassis peninsula in the Provence, near Marseille (France). The house is shaded by pine trees and has gorgeous views on the Mediterranean Sea. On the slopes fragrant herbs are growing that are familiar to the Provence.

The lucky owner is Hubert Hufnagel, who traveled for years around the world as a professional interior designer. Hubert has decorated the house in a masculine style, with lots of wood and African influences. The solid wooden stools in the picture above are available from Le Souk, as well as the wooden Tam Tam stool in the top left image below.
