Not sure about you, but I’m much more into cozy and intimate properties with some green stuff in the area and maybe a pool, rather than large ones with lots of concrete and stuff. Why am I telling you all these? Check out the Denpasar Residence in Bali. Designed by GFAB Architects, this modest home is actually a mix between an older mansion and a newer building proving once again that old is not always bad. The open space with nicely shaped lines, the trees, the swimming pool, a large bedroom that gets an awesome outside view, the modern stairs or the beautiful furniture, don’t need any more words, right? And if you consider this is Bali …

What is it that you expect from new residences or from newly built hotels? High class, isn’t it? Well, in Downtown New York on 123 Washington Street, a 57-storey tower designed by Gwathmey Siegel Architects is going to be built and should most likely meet the above criteria. Dubbed the W Hotel & Residences and with the help of interior designers from GRAFT, the hotel rooms and the flats are really astonishing. With Great large windows that offer great views over the city, extremely modern furniture and top notch furnishings. I just can’t choose the best picture of the ones you’ll see below, but that’d definitely be the apartment of my dreams if I were to buy one. Wonder what the prices will be over there. Expensive, huh? – via Contemporist

Usually, the visual factor gets me when a piece of furniture is beautiful, but I always thought of the photographer that brings in those stunning images. Who are those people behind the modern or classy interiors we see each day? One of them is Rachael Smith – a London-based freelance photographer specializing in interiors, still life and portraits. I’ve just looked over her pictures and I’m amazed how she manages to come out with the best views and how she puts forward the best in them. Check out the Swedish summerhouse, Eero Aarnio’s home, the South London Home, the Ladbroke Grove home or the Bedo Sperlein, and tell me if that isn’t great inspiration! Don’t forget to check her website out. – via Momoy

We’ve been covering wooden houses before, but we have something new for you today. Designed by Nigel Parish from the Canadian Architectural Design Studio Splyce, the Geddes Residence is a beautiful shining home with an irregular shape and view to the ocean, built in West Vancouver and surrounded by a very carefully planned scenery. The Geddes Residence is special on the upper level where an outdoor room and a sundeck exist but also on the lower floor where open space is the main characteristic, with lovely large windows and doors. Looks very modern and comfortable, one of the best place for a family to move in. – via DecoJournal

If you were to ask me what my dream home would look like, the answer would be modern, minimalist, with lots of space and with a nice view over the beach or maybe over the woods. I’m not sure if the Vivendelstien house in Norway is close to a beach or a mountain but I do know it’s close to what I would expect when it comes to interior design.
Designed by Norwegian architect Tommie Wilhelmsen this house won’t impress you with its exterior, but will do it as soon as you enter the front door with its interior. A warm “gigantic” living space that puts the white in contrast with little things like the ottomans, the colorful pillows, the couch or the relaxing looking chairs. If you ask me, the guy managed to get the best harmony possible.
