Gloss finishes draw in the view and make the living room in this tiny converted livestock shelter in the Swiss Alps feel so much bigger than it really is. The stair that seems to merge with the wall has a similar effect.

I am really taken with this apartment.  It’s like a clash of cultures between the pristine Richard Meier white shell and the high end eclecticism of the designers and owners, Yabu Pushelberg.

A beautiful new office space in Stockholm that looks like it gets the balance right between a very cool first impression and somewhere you can actually get some work done.  Or put another way, a not-so-common case where a very photogenic design actually responds directly to the client brief and the needs of the base building.  Fun and ingenious at the same time, the designers restored the grandeur of the listed space by inserting a central mirror wall down the length of the building.

As much as I liked Milan before, five nights at the new Palazzo Segreti hotel took things to another level entirely.

The more a hotel room feels like a really chic apartment the more I like it.

I love what pure white can do for an 80′s interior.

The home office of my dreams.

Everyone knows the Japanese are masters of this sort of mix of materials. But this is Switzerland.
