It is rare that we consider kitchen cabinetry to be an additional source of light, but that may just be the defining characteristic of these compositions from Leicht, Germany. Recessed spot and down-lighting is maximized by the reflective nature of high gloss lacquering and aluminum shelving, which is incorporated into a clean, modular aesthetic that [...]

Private realms of the home, more intimate in nature, such as bathrooms and particularly, bedrooms, are spaces in which one might experiment with style, color and form, but communal areas of the home not only serve as the foundation for the tone of a home’s interior style and provide a space in which one might [...]

Scandinavian, Scandi, Norse Minimalism…there are as many names for Nordic interior design as there are variants of it.

Curiously, they [...]

The Eastern suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand’s capital city, are characterized by a culturally diverse population, a subsequently vibrant urban scene and as is typical of New Zealand, a picturesque landscape, but to say that this property currently marketed by Sotheby’s Realty, is a unique addition to the area and indeed, the global property market, [...]

The conventional wisdom says that you should do what you love and do it often. If fortunate enough that this is the case professionally, there exists a presumption that taking the odd piece of work home, or indeed, working from home will rarely present as a problem. In order to establish an environment conducive to [...]

From Singapore, Colorado, Mumbai, Perth and across the globe, these individually stunning projects feature an element borne out of ancient Eastern philosophy that has been embraced by the modern Western world: water gardens.

While essentially contemporary, tasteful elements of modern eclecticism evenly fill the space, making for an environment that feels comfortable but not vast. A well-traveled hand in styling subtly contributes accessories from the orient and continental Europe, in [...]

This collaborative design effort features the genius of Stephan Jaklitsch of Jaklitsch/ Gardner Architects and challenges how studio spaces are thought of. It does comply with a fundamentally open plan principle, but not out of space-maximizing necessity. It is defiantly grand and reflects a freedom of choice rather than an adherence to convention. This space [...]
