This is a Swedish chapel converted into a house. This kind of conversions always intrigues me, partly because they would never happen in Greece with Greek Orthodox churches. But if you speak strictly architecturally, I would love a place like this, not so much as a house -it looks a little busy- but as a sunny studio / workplace.

An amazing minimalist hotel in Japan. Tadao Ando has just completed this seven room retreat, called Setouchi Konagi, on the island of Shikoku. The large expanses of concrete is one of Tadao Ando’s signature design elements and I particularly love the large windows that connect with nature.

This place looks like heaven for the kids!
Copenhagen-based COBE Architects designed a kindergarten modeled on simple children’s drawings of houses with peaked roofs: “We have worked to create a simple expression, as a caricature of how a child might draw a house.”

These ceramic Hasami numbers from House, combined as freestanding fixtures or hanging flower vases. House Industries is a US type foundry that has expanded to design with a very retro feel.
I love number 7 – I think it would also look great in a very large size, like one meter high.
This vacation house in Victoria, Australia has it all: Architectural design that refers to the modernist pavilions of the 50’s and 60’s in California, large window openings that extend the inside space to the outside, wooden materials everywhere combined with glass, an open plan kitchen and living area, beautiful minimal furniture, while everything is on one level, housed under a long linear roof.
It was designed by the Australian firm InForm Design, that actually offers a wide range of pre-designed houses or a custom architectural design service.

I love the forms in this wooden “credenza” with bronze geometric pattern on the sliding doors. Designed by Two is Company, an Athens-based duo of an industrial designer and an architect. Their inspiration comes from ancient Greek patterns, symbols and structures, which they beautifully redefine with a contemporary modernist style.
The essence of minimalism: Nissa Kinzhalina, the creator of the exquisite Living Light lamp, is back with the design for the Gentle Hint chairs, two minimal chairs that double also as table elements.
I find these tiles so beautiful and also so retro. The Brasiliana collection is made of natural and colored wood tiles, designed by Renata Rubim for Oca Brasil and comes in three styles: Tribal, Modernist, and Colonial and represent distinct periods of Brazilian design history.
