Island life, Amsterdam.

I especially love the kitchen in this wonderful house in Puglia by architectural rising star Peter Pichler.  Unpretentious, understated, yet brimming with style.  And it works.

Practicalities aside, the one big drawer front looks so much better than all those lines and handles you have to admit.

A design objective often touted in architecture, the link between inside and outside space.  This rebuilt house in rural Switzerland actually gets there, not by big openings alone but through a common palette of colours and materials.

Definitely the sort of kitchen I would design for myself…  Bastogne House is by Belgian architects adn.

This new interior from Japanese studio Suppose Design Office reminds me of the Italian painter Giorgio Morandi.

Far from boring, the impact of a scheme limited to one or two finishes should never be underestimated.

I like the approach of the architects of this gallery house in London who see their work as a moment in the life of the building.  Something to be used now and later reabsorbed, ‘like footprints on the landscape’.

‘The simple things in life are often the best’ applies to houses too.

A sublimely detailed yet robust new house in South London features face brickwork and brass hardware reminiscent of both the 1970′s and Victorian traditions.  I love the bare ceilings too, downlights banished in favour of strategically placed pendant lights, at least one of them in brass.
