For some reason I’ve always dreamed of having a beach house, unfortunately, in my country it may not be suited. But take Malibu, California, for an example, and you’ll know what I mean. With one of the finest weather and some of the best beaches on Earth, this must be the perfect place to build a beach house – or buy one that’s already been there for many years.
But enough with the introduction because we have something to show you. Here’s a 1976 beach house along Malibu’s Pacific Coast Highway, that has been remodeled by Shubin + Donaldson Architects and turned into a 2,900-square-foot beach-side modern house with beautiful glass sliding doors and windows that open towards the ocean to offer stunning sea-views.
The layout is pretty simple with a living room, dining room, den area, terrace with beach access, powder room at the first floor, while at the upper floor there’s a home office, a guest room and bath, the powder room, a media room, and a master suite with bathroom/walk-in closet, closet office and an outdoor sleeping porch.
Everything is gorgeous and I don’t think my comments are enough. Check out the pictures and then tell me if you would like one? – via Modresdes

Hanna Nyman, a Swedish designer has made her wallpaper designs not only interactive but 3-D as well. Users are able to peel back whichever sections of her wallpaper to create their own versions of wallpaper sculptural art. The wallpapers are truly innovative for they deliver texture and style as a package deal! Her designs have a floral theme and use just the sort of colours which will appeal to those who prefer contemporary designs.
Nyman is also into origami, the Japanese art of paper folding and lights. Both her interests meld with her origami style wallpaper which matches her lampshade. She says, “My work is narrative rather than functional.” You can see what she means when you observe the cascading peel backs and wonder if they are like a waterfall of flowers or flowers blooming out of the wall.

It’s a 800sqm river floating pontoon by designer Max Wehberg that includes a 40 meter long and 9 meter wide open-air swimming pool 30cm above water (includes heated water, too), a terrace, a solarium and spa amenities like massage cabins or other specific treatments that will “cause” relaxation.
It’s the perfect place to spend your time with a cold beer on the spacious sun deck, during those hot weekends. It’s just that I’m not sure everyone will appreciate the industrial view of the city. What do you think? – via Baunetz.de (translated)
