YOUR WEEKEND....(VIA URBAN STYLE VIBES*)

Hi friends, what are your plans for the weekend? My weekend is full with pre-X-Mas parties and drinks.  Yes, it's that time of the year.... Can you imagine we almost finished 2010? Was this year a good one FOR YOU? And what do you expect from 2011?

Q. PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS!

Today I take you on a home tour to Brasil. This is the 'Sumar House' designed by architect Isay Weinfeld for a graphic desinger in Sao Paulo. He wanted to have a big house where he could work, train and welcome friends.

In order to find accomodation for an exercise room for dance, as well as a large area for entertaining, two bedrooms and all other necessary rooms below street level.

A VILLA THAT ROCKS

Good morning! How are you this monday? Are you ready to start the new week?
This weekend I found a great spot in the magazine of the Dutch Financial Daily. This villa is located in the village of Vals in the Swiss Alps.

Q.WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS NEW SPOT?

Situated deep in the mountains, the house is very hard to spot, which makes for a perfect gateway. The unusual architecture plan comes from architect Bjarne Mastenbroek from SeARCH and Christian Muller from Christian Muller Architects, and includes all the facilities a common house has, such as a guest room, an entertainment area, but also “specialized” interiors like an underground pathway. The entrance is a wide oval opening that you are driven to by some traditional stairs made in stone. But more important. This extraordinary villa is full of Dutch Design! If you take a closer look you will find the Dutchtub from Floris Schoonderbeek and the famous 'Knotted Chair' from Marcel Wanders.


You can book this lovely design villa via Villa Vals The costs per week are 1500 euro low season, up to 3000 euro in the peak season.

DESIGN HOTSPOT: AIRE DE BARDENAS

Hi Lovely readers across the globe. How is the week going? Do you need some new inspiration from Spain? Yes? Good news, today I will to show you a glimpse of the Design Hotel Aire de Bardenas. Enjoy reading!




It's getting a bit colder here in the Netherlands. Maybe we even get some snow and ice this weekend so what is better than a bit of day dream to go to Spain and sleep in this wonderful fairly new hotel. Hotel Aire de Bardenas is my kind of architectural heaven. Set in a dramatic landscape in Navarre, Spain, it was featured in the lifestyle magazine Wallpaper. Designed by Barcelona based architects Emiliano Lopez and Mónica Rivera, you can see more of their work here.

A ROOM WITH A VIEW

If you love ski-ing and design. This is the place to be for you. This sophisticated design chalet in Oberlech is a real beauty. The architect Armin Kathan was born in this area and decided to create a lovely spot in the mountains with a view on the snow white mountains. In this chalet he uses a lot of natural materials.

I especially love the 'wooden bricks' as a decoration item. It's a simple idea but creates a lot of athmosphere.

Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HOME TOUR: COPENHAGEN

Oh my sweet bloggerfriends. I need to share this with you. This is the lovely apartment from Rupert Landendinger in Copenhagen. Do you remember my post about the lovely home of Danish fashion deisgner Malene Birger? This is her husband. He is a Brand and Product director for Malene's company. And if you take a close look, you can see similarities in both interiors. By the way, both apartments are located in Copenhagen. What a treat!

I love all the frameworks and the use of serene colours combined with black.

Big grey tiles in the kitchen. Stunning!

A wooden hallway is just a beauty itself!

Danish interior perfection

This large and charming villa from 1911 in Frederiksberg in Denmark is home to a family of seven with five kids. I just looooooooove the subtile use of black and green in this serene white Swedish environment. What do you think? 

The wooden table with the Philip Starck chairs is just a beauty itself

Little flowers in the kitchen can be a great decoration, especially when combined with the mint color of the shelves.

The subtle use of the mint green colour gives this kitchen a lovely twist
