The Hamptons by L’Atelier Paris Haute Design

Our design team was asked to create a spacious kitchen and butler’s pantry for Hamptons clients who love to entertain. They wanted a kitchen that was inviting but also had a feeling of low-key luxury—one that would seamlessly fit into the sun-splashed, airy feel of their house, which is nestled in the ocean dunes. The resulting design reveals beautiful stainless-steel cabinets and appliances, powder coated a pristine white and paired with handmade solid-walnut cabinetry in a hand-rubbed oil finish. Stunning Calacatta marble was used for the backsplashes and to back the open shelving, and herringbone floors add extra warmth. Every inch of the kitchen was made to order, customized to fit the clients’ specifications and needs—from a wine refrigerator and top-of-the-line appliances to generous storage for tableware and entertaining accessories.

Apartment in Warsaw by Kando Architects

Designed by Kando Architects , this inspiring industrial apartment is located in Warsaw, Poland. Description Being young it’s extremely easy to give in the temptation to do something here and now, without looking back or thinking too far forward. So does the first ever apartment for a person at the beginning of her professional life have to look like a patchwork of everything that trendy, and not necessarily durable for years? It depends. In this case, the owner, despite her young age, did not want temporary solutions – she expected solidity and let it run our way, paying only attention to the fact that she plans to spend about 5 years in this apartment, after which the property will go to the secondary market or for rent. It was clear that due to the location and beautiful views, we were speaking about premium property, so despite the universal assumptions, we could not afford to make it ordinary. Five years is not a lifetime, yet still it’s a period that you rather wi

Bachledka – Summit Facilities by Compass Architekti

This inspiring concrete hotel / restaurant situated in at the top of Mala Poľana on the ridge of Spišská Magura (Ždiar, Slovakia), has been designed in 2019 by Compass Architekti . Description The site is located at the top of Mala Poľana on the ridge of Spišská Magura. The area provides a variety of activities such as skiing, hiking, biking and a sightseeing route – The Treetop Walk. Up to 6,000 visitors a day come here on certain days. The aim of the proposal was to provide facilities for these activities. Access to the site is provided by the tourist route or by three cableways from adjacent villages, Bachledova dolina, Malá Franková and Jezersko. We tried to minimize the mass at the top of the hill, leaving only the necessary cableway control and the treetop walk exit object. The rest of the building is embedded into the hillside and the only visible facades are those glazed, providing light and a view of the mountains. This was made possible by the ideal shape

Groe’s House by Crahay & Jamaigne

Designed in 2016 by Crahay & Jamaigne , this contemporary single-family dwilling is situated in Eupen, Belgium. Description First construction erected in the subdivision, this single-family dwelling has an advantageous geographical location, between town and forest. Located on the heights of Eupen, the plot, accessible from a secondary road in dead-end, borders the Hertogenwald forest massif and dominates the Vesdre valley. This offers him rich and diverse views on the near and far landscape. The distance between the subdivision and the main road adds to the plot a peaceful atmosphere. The house takes hold in the secondary access road and develops itself, through its slender morphology, parallel to the contour lines and focus on the aforementioned views. This “blocks” thus established, organizes the spaces according to their characteristics and declines them, depending on their location in the system. On the street, it offers a carport area integrated into the volume
