A loft in Rome

"This house goes against the rules of good design" says Alberto, architect in Rome, Italy... Indeed, the floor plan of this open spaced loft is quite unusual, with a bedroom behind the dining space, but out of 75 square meter [807 square feet], Alberto managed to create a family friendly loft full of life and interesting details. I have a special crush on the kitchen, with its super cool countertops and industrial details. Now, that's a loft with a soul!

The new life of an old Parisian workshop

This 200-square-meter, three-level loft is located in the Bastille quarter of Paris. Renovated with a great respect to its original building and its former workshop spirit, the loft has a trendy industrial vibe with lots of light throughout. I personally have a special crush on the authentic brick wall and the splashes of bright colors.

At home with Alessandra

Alessandra lives in Milan [swoon], in this 1930s flat that she spent months remodeling to her taste. Many of the furniture, objects and even materials, like the bathroom tiles come from street markets in Italy and abroad. Alessandra did not rush furnishing and accessorizing her house, and as a result, there is a strong sense of collected treasures and thoroughly thought design around her dreamy flat...

Gorgeous spot.
