Greek home -Tinos

On the island of Tinos. Designed by Zege Architects, this home is composed of two separate volumes connected together through a veranda. Even though this house was recently built, the designers did their best in respecting the architecture and tradition of the surrounding constructions. Exposed stone formations, white picket fences and exposed timber are of strong visual effect. You are looking at a fresh, simple and beautiful home with charming interior details, perfectly integrated in its environment.

COS



My new favorite Scandinavian brand: COS. A brand for women and men who want high fashion with good quality at an affordable pricing. It feels like a mix between CK and Dries van Noten meets the 50's with a modern Dandy feel... Maybe to much explanation, just check it out for yourself

Summer house in Sweden

Located in the Archipelago of Stockholm, Island House belongs to WRB Architects, a small architecture studio in Sweden, which mostly take on projects involving small private residences. Sometimes referred to as a “cottage” or just a beautiful place of retreat, the Island House features an amazing view of the ocean and is located in a fresh and luxurious environment. Oak trees and pines can be seen all around; the site was built to also include a 500 years old oak, which erichens the property. However, you are probably more interested in details such as the wooden deck, a great place to drink the morning tea or the late afternoon wine, or the sauna!
