Private pool patio ocean views

This duplex was recently renovated by JUMA Architects and Minimum Arquitectura, to maximize the mesmerizing ocean view. Check out there finished project below:

Steped patio design

Sun patio sea view

Steel canopies and wooden sun terraces were installed to provide a visual fusion of the two original spaces. The decor style goes a step further in blurring the boundary between inside an out, with the same chairs used in each of the dining areas, and a bright white palette visible throughout.

Undressed History: London Townhouse



This is a cool restored home in London, England. I love how they didn't try to cover up the history in the house, leaving the original stairs and walls with just a basic wall paint. The mix of new and old furniture gives the home an eclectic, mix-matched feel that correlate with the quirky history of the place. 



Amazing stove!



Great office chair.

The gold framed mirror is perfect for the room.

Beirut Living: Designer May Daouk's Villa



This stunning home in Beirut, Lebanon belongs to interior designer May Daouk, who moved back there from New York 10 years ago. She remade this gorgeous late 19th century villa with a sea view and a tree shaded terrace. Her home oozes tradition with a mix of western influences. The Triple arch is key to the home, and is also a traditional feature of Lebanese homes, that works as a divider to break the open home into a smaller rooms. Each room boasts its own colour scheme and eclectic decor, but purple and gold are prevalent throughout the home.
