bamboo house near the great wall of china

Posted on March 5, 2009 by Danielle| 9 Comments

At the foot of the Great Wall of China there are some ultra modern villas which can be rented. The most spectacular villa is the one designed by architect Kengo Kuma. The Japanese-inspired construction of bamboo and glass allows spectacular views of the Great Wall and the surrounding landscape.

The common parts of the house are connected through the principle of bamboo screens.

A contemporary Japanese tea house can be found in the outdoor area at the centre of the building. The equipment of the kitchen (image below) consists of a core module with integrated sink and cupboards made of white lacquered wood.

framed ikat textile as wall hanging

Posted on March 4, 2009 by Danielle| 5 Comments

This image (featured in Elle Decor March 2009 issue) is from painter Anne Becker’s New York apartment. I love the framed antique ikat textile that is being used as a wall hanging. A beautiful French farm table is used as a desk. But my favorite objects in this room are definitely Anne’s dogs Seymour and Leo!

dream loft in brooklyn, ny

Posted on March 4, 2009 by Danielle| 7 Comments

Loftlife magazine sent me their newsletter which contained images of this gorgeous loft in Brooklyn, NY. The loft has been designed by New York based design firm Ochs Design was given. The assignment given was to convert a 2700 sq-ft abandoned warehouse space into an artist’s loft for a Williamsburg pioneer.

Isn’t this bedroom just gorgeous?

Ochs Design restored as much of the original bones of the space as was feasibly possible for their client, including keeping the original asphalt floor in the painting studio. The “platforms replace walls to define living space” allowing the paintings and artwork to dominate the interior.

elodie’s photo wall

Posted on March 3, 2009 by Danielle| 4 Comments

I recently did a post about decorating a wall with photo frames. On stylish blog Bodie and Fou I found another lovely example of decorating a wall with photo’s of friends & family.

Elodie says that “just seeing so many happy pictures of all the people she loves every morning when drinking her coffee, put her in a good mood and it’s also dead easy to do and easy to update…”. Such a gorgeous wall!
