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.
I love the feel of this smart small hotel by Stuttgart architects, Naumann. Never folksy, but brimming with a big sense of place, and with just enough whimsy.
Definitely the sort of kitchen I would design for myself… Bastogne House is by Belgian architects adn.
The new camping, Swedish style. I could definitely be persuaded.
The perfect spot for a meeting of the local book club, a New York coffee bar designed to look like a library turned 90 degrees.
This room has lots of the things I like in an interior. Black window frames, white walls, touches of orange… and it’s in Sicily. Siracusa to be exact and anyone who’s lucky enough to have been there (or dreams of going one day) might now close their eyes for a moment and imagine the view.
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’.
When I first saw this house on the Greek island of Antiparos at designboom it was late at night and I thought I was dreaming.
We live in contradictory times… Houses that want to look like hotels and hotels that feel like coming home – only better. And ‘La Favorita’ pension in Porto (Portugal), with interiors by French designer Sam Baron, might just be the best example of the genre yet.
