I have already argued here how can black details create a tasteful contrast and lift your space to a higher level. A great example is this newly renovated apartment of 64 sq.m. in Goteborg, styled by Gredeco and on sales by Stadshem. The building was a factory from 1926 with high ceilings of just over…
I woke up this morning having this picture in mind. Although it was taken some years ago in Iceland it reflects totally my mood today. Kind of cloudy, wavy black hope…
In a small village of Northern Italy, on Hormannweg, the architect Daniel Ellecosta designed a house with respect and care to its built surrounds.
