Hong’s House
This cool apartment is owned by a 30-year-old engineer, whose intention was to have a home with natural cement-based environment, for him to relax after long busy hours. He asked the House Design Studio for design and construction, and according to the pictures he got what he came for. This apartment has a masculine vibe with cement finished walls, and other industrial elements such as steel bar shelving, metal mini bar for dining, and an “aircraft window view”. I really like the hero elements, however, my personal favourite is the Rubik’s Cube in the bedroom.
Danish Design in Manhattan
Two years ago Rikke and Jens Storm moved, together with their two children, Olivia Marie (12) and Emil (8), from Denmark to New York. Now they live in Tribeca, in the heart of Manhattan, in a 110 square meter rental apartment. It has breathtaking views of the skyscrapers and the Hudson River, and it is decorated in a Scandinavian style with Danish design pieces. I love it.
The Island Dream
This beautiful single-storey villa is located in Ibiza, and owned by Carmen Straatsma and Tom van Amerongen, who run a holiday rental and building business (trueibiza.com). They did a really great job with mixing some Balinese style with vintage. I love it.

This fabulous residence was designed by Pavonetti Office of Design located in Austin, Texas, USA. The principal Shane Michael Pavonetti has worked in several countries and brings a broad international perspective to a regional, almost vernacular design sensibility. I love the way barn-style meets some industrial hint and the lots of beautiful windows on the house.
Willoughby Project
The home of an interior designer is always very interesting and special. This fabulous house is in Willoughby, Sydney and it belongs to Suzanne Gorman, her husband, their three children and their dog. This home is one of my personal favourites, as the designer uses the perfect colours and shapes instinctively. The whole place has a relaxing atmosphere with a contemporary design.
