For the lat 3-4 years I have become the fan of a minimalist interior design, mostly because I am much more productive in a clean but modern environment and secondly because it’s like I can breathe properly. Take a look at the Beverly House from downtown Toronto, that is exactly what I described above.

Restored by Stanford Downey, from a 100 year old row house it features a green wall, a solar atrium with passive heating and cooling vents, in-floor heating, a beautiful open-spce Scavolini kitchen, acoustical sound wall between neighbors (scream as much as you like) and various green products. The bathroom and the bedroom really blew my mind. Everything is so nicely aligned, and the colors … oh the colors. It’s a dream home. Simply beautiful. – via Momoy

A few months ago we presented an interesting project called the Rainbow Bookshelf, a beautiful example of organizing books by color. Today here is another interesting way to play with colors created by Jim Lambie. Jim Lambie, a Scottish artist, is best known for his striped vinyl floor pieces, which have covered the floors and stairs of multiple gallery and museum spaces in the United States and Europe.The artist meticulously adheres vinyl tape to the floor in a geometric pattern that responds to the building’s architecture.The project presented in this post is called “ZOBOP!” and is a dizzying installation of meandering parallel strips of colored tape laid on the lobby floor and up some stairs of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

This three-storeys Soundhouse with a unique black boxed structure is where people from the University of Sheffield, with a big passion for music, get to play. The 450 sqm building – designed and Careyjones Architects and put up by Jefferson Sheared Architects – is a first for the U.K. for using black rubber to dress it up (almost) completely.

Why they used leather is obvious. To build a soundproof exterior. And they did it. The black building has become a landmark on the university campus, turning heads both for the design and the creative environment. Consider it the 21st century flagship for “music boxes”.


Apart from doing what it was designed for – music, it’s a mix between boring and pretty. Do you like it?

Have you ever thought that a bathroom can be an amazing place ? If not just take a look at these two bathroom decorating ideas from Hansgrohe. These two pictures with two amazing bathroom decorating ideas are from a collection named Axor Citterio. Brilliance, clarity, and harmony determine value for the Axor Citterio line and reawaken awareness of the ritual character of the element of water. Every surface, transition, and joint captivates with harmonious resolution in the field of tension between angle and curve. Luxury reveals itself here in detail for example, the finely crafted hot/cold marking that impresses with its precision. I know that these bathroom decorating ideas are not for everybody, but they are just amazing.
