I have a super duper special place in my heart for New Zealand. It is one of the most beautiful places on Earth and I am just dreaming of the day I can return. When we were traveling in New Zealand I would always say, I just can't quite comprehend at this time how beautiful things are. Everyday I was seeing the most gorgeous and unique natural landscapes and environments that I'd ever seen before. My head was constantly whipping around, with jaw dropped, and all I could say was "oh my gosh, look over there! wow! wow! look over there! wow!" I am feeling the same way as I drool over the work of New Zealand based
Fearon Hay Architects. The
Sandy Bay Farmhouse makes my heart skip a beat. I would gladly stay here on my next holiday;-)
Just imagine the night sky filled with star light. Oh so gorgeous!
The countertop is stunning wish I knew what material it was. Such a gorgeous matte finish which makes me think it may be sandstone or concrete. Any ideas?
What a great connection with the outdoors. Just thinking this would be the perfect place for a wedding:-)
wow...that's all I need to say!
I can't help, but sharing with you another project by Fearon Hay Architects. The
Mountain Retreat located in Central Otago blends in perfectly with the natural landscape and environment in the region without being too raw.
This home is completely hidden upon entry from the road. You must climb down the roof to enter into the front door. How cool is that!
This view takes my breathe away! And look at how stunning that fireplace and log holder are!
I love this combination of materials.
Check out that bathtub you know there is such a killer view!
I WILL return to New Zealand one day and for now I am going to continue to dream about staying in one of these stunning holiday homes on my return!
The indoor/outdoor feel of the space is perfect! I would be sitting outside on that patio or in the pool enjoying the nature as much as I could!
This is another one of their projects that is still in progress. I cannot wait to see it when it is complete!
This residence at the Singel, Amsterdam is yet another amazing project by i29 Interior Architects, one of my absolute favorite interior architecture firms. i29 is innovative in their approach, but they are able to keep their designs so simple by combining materials in such an awe inspiring way while maintaining an incredible sense of calmness. This design takes things one step further outside the box, or maybe I should say inside the walls. This space is made up of freestanding objects and interior volumes. Within the space you feel the openness, but the interior of the volumes feel very intimate. The kitchen and wardrobe are contained within one volume near the entrance. The burled walnut is so rich against the white epoxy floors and white walls. This space seriously takes my breath away!
I studied the design of this bathroom for about 10 minutes before I realized that the exterior walls are not glass that allows the connection between the indoors and outdoors, but that they are a living Plantwall that is actually inside the bathroom and acts as a backdrop for the entire interior.

I am obsessing over these chairs too!
such a cozy little place! Definitely wouldn't want this room to be messy! I am hoping there is a huge closet somewhere right around the corner!
I would love to curl up in one of those chaise and just research and read all day long!

My jaw dropped when I saw this stunning Underground Mountain House located in the Swiss Village of Vals! I have a special place in my heart for underground homes. My grandparents live in a underground home that my grandpa built with his own 2 hands in the 70's (I think). I have dreams of getting my hands on it one day! It would make an incredible art studio!
This unusual house plan is the collaboration between the Netherlands architects at SeARCH and Christian Muller Architects!
