<span style="font-family: inherit;">With all this freezing weather we seem to be having, isn’t it just time for a sunny getaway? I was warmed instantly by this stunning open villa in San Salvador designed by <a href="http://www.cincopatasalgato.com/index.php/en/" target="_blank">Cincopatasalgato Architecture</a> and was itching to share. With a palette made of primarily of whites, natural materials and some concrete this retreat really is all about the view and the volumes. After having to rely so heavily on heating for the last couple of months, wouldn't it be amazing to be able to just forget about the walls?? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here it is, the 2013 gift guide for Her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibUn9GQeOi0VV1vogtLfDm5IwsozFD1te8ObO28DwEV3AHJL0I7F4CvYFkv0xFrD3p05dBXvx-Hgm95wl1E5QQCiK5Kg4MQfqOIFXXEywVwEXShc88ERVtmE9w5fVylPU0pe17KJAYWg/s1600/Her.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibUn9GQeOi0VV1vogtLfDm5IwsozFD1te8ObO28DwEV3AHJL0I7F4CvYFkv0xFrD3p05dBXvx-Hgm95wl1E5QQCiK5Kg4MQfqOIFXXEywVwEXShc88ERVtmE9w5fVylPU0pe17KJAYWg/s1600/Her.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. <a href="http://www.leifshop.com/collections/jewelry/products/drusy-dot-stacker-ring" target="_blank">Stacking Ring</a>. Like copper and brass in interiors, rose gold has become a HUGE trend in fashion over the past year. I love the sparkle and detail of this ring from Leif Shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/moccasins/PRDOVR~54748/54748.jsp?color_name=ash" target="_blank">Shearling lined slippers</a>. There is nothing nicer than slipping on a pair of cozy slippers to keep ones feet warm over the holidays and these moccasins from J Crew are just the perfect pair.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/374873" target="_blank">Stella McCartney bag</a>. I have adored the Falabella bags forever - one of my design must-haves, therefore it just had to make it's way onto the list.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/172056864/white-and-gold-pot?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Little Ceramic Pot</a>. I always have things that are just stowed on my bedside table and this little White and Gold pot from Etsy shop UpInTheAirSomewhere is just the perfect little thing to have holding for all my bits and pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. <a href="http://www.coastal.com/frames/derek-cardigan-7008-ice/prod27027.html?rsView=1&ga=F|M|K" target="_blank">Clear Frame Glasses</a>. While I know that this item isn't for everything it is something on my list this year and so I just had to include. I know that the trend has been for thick, dark plastic frames, and while I do have a pair like that, I now really want some clear plastic ones like these from Derek Cardigan. Only question is can I pull them off??</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. <a href="http://www.markandgraham.com/products/modern-zip-pouch/?pkey=e%7Cpouch%7C13%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C9&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_-" target="_blank">Leather and Canvas zip pouch</a>. I love things being monogrammed and these little zippered pouches are a great accessory for whatever one might need.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. <a href="http://shop.trendland.com/paul-smith-leather-cased-hip-flask-425/" target="_blank">Leather Flask</a>. The winter cold weather makes us just want to be warm. Well, with this stylish Paul Smith leather flask you can get that extra little bit of warmth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. <a href="http://factory.jcrew.com/mens-clothing/accessories/wallets_more/PRDOVR~06628/06628.jsp" target="_blank">Tie Clip</a>. J Crew men have a great modern tie clip for the distinguished man. I love the simplicity and change in texture - not to mention that it is the shape of a tie!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. <a href="http://www.markandgraham.com/products/classic-woven-mens-pajamas/?pkey=cpersonalized-gifts-for-him&" target="_blank">Monogram Pijamas</a>. What better way to spend the holidays than lounging around in a set of PJs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. <a href="http://shop.coolmaterial.com/products/braun-mens-analog" target="_blank">Analog Braun watch</a>. With a simple, clean face and leather strap, this watch is suitable for the modern gentleman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. <a href="http://usa.hermes.com/man/ties/timeless/silk-twill/bluered/configurable-product-625683t-39125.html?nuance=7" target="_blank">Hermes Tie</a>. This is the quintessential gift for the man in your life. What else is there to say - it's an Hermes silk tie, it speaks for itself!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. <a href="http://www.slickwraps.com/Leather-Skin-iPhone-4-p/sw-aip4-leather.htm" target="_blank">iPad and iPhone leather skin</a>.

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Colourful Honeycomb Coasters from <a href="http://www.leifshop.com/products/honeycomb-coaster-set" target="_blank">Leif Shop</a>. I love a little bit of colour in a home accessory, especially when it's in a pixilated pattern, and these hand-painted coasters offer just that bit of punch to your coffee table.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Every
once in a while we are lucky enough to delve into the art world for our
clients. While most of them have
incredible art collection and curators who they work with very closely,
sometimes we get to put that hat on for them.
I have been fascinated for some time with the work of Italian artist
<a href="http://www.massimolistri.com/" target="_blank">Massimo Listri</a>. Known for masterful eye in capturing interior spaces, he has
traveled around the globe photographing some of the most stunning interior architecture.
I love how I can get lost in each and every photo. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
What happens when you combine the Equine world and one of Frances top designers - a clean, timeless and impeccably detailed space. Enter François Champsaur and his <a href="http://www.champsaur.com/en/" target="_blank">Yearling Auction House</a> in Dauville, France. I have a love and fascination with horses and rode for most of my childhood and adolescence (see Equine Elegance post one <a href="http://canoedesign.blogspot.com/2012/01/equestrian-elegance.html">here</a>) and so for me this is the perfect marriage of the French design philosophy at the moment and one of my lifelong loves. What I find truly amazing about this space is that he has personified the refinement of the equine world in a contemporary way, something that we aren't accustom to - usually it is all about pomp and pageantry. While I wonder how the space actually functions, for me the aesthetic is so successful that really does it matter? Sometimes not...</div>

Life gets busy! Every once in a while you need to stop, take a moment and relax with those who are important to you. It has been forever since my husband and I went for a Friday night drink after work, and so we decided that it was time to bring that tradition back. With both our office in mid-town Manhattan we decided that it would be good to stay close and so decided on the recently opened Viceroy Hotel restaurant and bar <a href="http://kingside-restaurant.com/" target="_blank">Kingside</a>. Designed by Roman + Williams the oober cool NYC company, the interior is everything on would expect - rich woods, interesting lighting and cool details. While the cocktails were true to NY prices and strength, the atmosphere was buzzing and really was a great choice for our step back into the NY scene - and seeing as it is down the street from my work I am sure to visit again.</div>

It's no secret that emerald green was one of the colors of the year. With fashion, fabrics and design making it a feature, it seems that it really was everywhere (even posted about it <a href="http://canoedesign.blogspot.com/2013/04/colours-of-spring-green.html">here</a>). So when I came across this table by <a href="http://www.champsaur.com/en/" target="_blank">François Champsaur</a> on one of my searches I thought that it would make a nice end to this week of Items of Interest. Manufactured by the French master metalworkers <a href="http://www.pouenat.fr/115_45_Francois-Champsaur.html" target="_blank">Pouenat</a>, the shape, color and changes in plane make this piece fun and functional. </div>

His play with different mirror finishes and colors, shapes as well as the positive and negative makes his work truly unique. </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">These are gallery quality pieces (and come with a price tag to match) each is hand-crafted and after seeing them in person, more stunning than you can imagine. </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">As with most coveted design items these days, there are knockoffs a plenty (Restoration Hardware and West Elm to name a couple).

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There has been a surge in the design world with brass and
copper. What has been thought to be 'traditional' (and sometimes </span>tacky<span style="font-family: inherit;"> in it's likeness to gold) is now
regarded of as 'cool' and 'refined'. The Cloche lamp by </span><a href="http://www.beller.no/about/" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0000e9;">Lars Beller
Fjetland</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> fits perfectly into this scenario. By creating an anchored
cast iron base, the ash wood stem of the lamp rises elegantly to the bell-shaped
shade which were made in either brass or copper - I think that the copper
adds that extra little bit to it. The piece comes in four essay to assemble parts
and really plays to the Norwegian designer's fascination with how
materials and form work together. </span>Unfortunately<span style="font-family: inherit;"> this piece is just a prototype, but hopefully in the support of up-and-coming designers we will be able to have pieces like this on our projects soon.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been doing research for a project into new and interesting Galleries, suppliers and artist. As designers I feel that we are always searching for what is new, exciting and interesting and this project is no exception - especially since the client has several other properties and seems to know everything about the industry and the furnishings we show her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over the next couple of days I thought it would be good to share the things that have really stood out to me, and while we aren't using them, perhaps they can help inspire other designers or those reading for what they need. Hope you all enjoy!</div>

One of my favourite photographers is Canadian artist <a href="http://www.edwardburtynsky.com/">Ed Burtynsky</a>. His work is primarily focussed on the many ways in which humans impact the earth and is always on a monumental scale. His latest series which is now on exhibition at the <a href="http://www.howardgreenberg.com/#exhibitions/263">Howard Greenberg Gallery</a> here in New York (until November 2nd) is entitled Water and the subject matter is just that. Our world as we know it would not be possible without water and he has captured some really amazing and artful ways in which we manipulate exploit it. I love the scale of his subject and how every photo is truly beautiful and ones eyes search for a reference point or some sense of scale to understand the reality of the subject. It is a truly spectacular talent he has and I recommend andy opportunity you have to see his work.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last week was the Architecture and Design Film Festival her in New York. It was the second year that we attended (see post <a href="http://canoedesign.blogspot.com/2012/10/film-review-design-is-one.html">here</a>) and so decided that we would take advantage of more tittles this year. Seeing as we just have the weekend we packed 3 feature movies with 4 short films into two days. As with all film festivals some were good...and some were really bad! While couple stand out as really remarkable movies that inspired and motivated us (<a href="http://www.mybrooklynmovie.com/">My Brooklyn</a> - a documentary on the changes to downtown Brooklyn focussing on Fulton Mall, and <a href="http://www.publicinterestdesign.org/tag/grow-dat-youth-farm/">The Grow Dat Youth Farm</a> - a short documentary on the amazing work being done in New Orleans) one movie stood above the rest. <span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">The Oyler House: Richard Neutra’s Desert Retreat by director Mike Dorsey is an outstanding piece of film making.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Built in 1959 in Lone Pine, California, this bungalow style mid-century modern house is </span></span><span style="line-height: 21px;">literally</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"> all about the view. With one entire side made of steel-framed glass windows, the house is open to the desert and mountains beyond. The movie tells the story of Richard Neutra and Richard Oyler and how this piece of architecture played such a crucial part in both of </span></span><span style="line-height: 21px;">their</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"> lives. With most of the story </span></span><span style="line-height: 21px;">being told by the incredibly charasmatic Oyler, one really gets a sense of how this house is a truly spectacular piece of architecture. The current owner, actress Kelly Lynch, and Neutra's son's are interviewed as well helping to round out the perspective of how this house and it's surroundings are truly one of a kind (note the image of the pool below, made from a hollowed out boulder in the on the site). Dorsey does a wonderful job of bringing the viewer in to the </span></span><span style="line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">story and helping to make one understand that this is more than just a house.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">You can watch the trailer <a href="http://vimeo.com/63977725">here</a>. Keep an eye out for the film on Netflix or iTunes, it really is worth a watch and I would love to hear if you have seen it/when you see it, and how it has inspired you.</span></span></div>

Happy Friday all. It has been a great week of travel - another trip to Florida - and client meetings. I was doing some research into modern staircases and found this amazing images that I wanted to share. I think that so often we as designers get caught up in trying to re-invent the wheel when coming up with an idea for our clients, however nothing is really 'new'. Well that is exactly what I love about this staircase - it is a simple stair, however with the use of two different finishes of wood, and a clever design detail, you get something contemporary while still being timeless. Very clever and very sharp!</div>

What an end to September and start to October!! Between a trip to London for a wedding and to get our apartment organised to sell, and work trips to Florida and California I am starting to feel a little more burned out than usual! And, alas my posts seem to suffer! I am quite excited however that after almost a decade of being a die hard Blackberry supporter I have made the leap to Apple and am waiting for my shiny new *gold* iPhone! Very excited at the prospect of Instagram and being able to tweet without my messages being lost in the cyber yonder...not really sure how that keep happening. So prepare for me to (hopefully) be more in touch over the coming weeks and months. An early New Years resolution as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the apartment is up for sale I thought that I would share the estate agent photos with you. I know I have done a couple of posts on it before (<a href="http://canoedesign.blogspot.com/2012/03/before-after-kitchen.html">here</a> and <a href="http://canoedesign.blogspot.com/2012/02/before-after-bathroom.html">here</a>), however thought that this was a good overview of the entire apartment - oh and you get to see the amazing new fold-away doors we installed in the spring. Sad to see it go, but excited for what NYC opportunities open up as a result! Keep an eye out as we are actively apartment hunting and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another project. Can't wait for the next one!</div>

By the always stunning modernist firm <a href="http://www.marciokogan.com.br/#/home">Marcio Kogan Architects</a>, the house is nestled into the tropical landscape in true Brazilian style. Set in it's lush surroundings, the house has an amazing ability to morph the interior spaces into the exterior with teak flooring becoming decking and glass walls sliding away. The materials are simple, elegant and support the grand architectural gestures simply and elegantly. </div>

I am so pleased to have a guest here with us today - my father! When my parents were visiting a couple of weeks ago we did a little architectural tour of Connecticut. Before arriving in the New York area however they spent a little time in Illinois, visiting Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House just outside Chicago. Seeing as my father is an architect and architectural professor in France I thought that this would be a great opportunity to have him write about Mies' glass house seeing as I spoke about our trip to Johnson's house <a href="http://canoedesign.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-glass-house.html">here</a>. Merci!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This summer we had the privilege delight of visiting the
<a href="http://www.farnsworthhouse.org/">Farnsworth House</a>.
Coming from Europe we booked our visit long time in advance. The tickets, the
authorisation to have inside private photography, the car, the GPS, all were
ready even the sun was at the rendez-vous.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
An hour and 15 minutes from downtown Chicago we arrived in
rural, farmland Illinois. Along a small country road a sign indicate the
“visiting centre“.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After the formalities we watched a short movie that
introduced us to all the details related to the history of the house: Dr. Edith
Farnsworth, Ludwid Mies van der Rohe, how they met at a dinner party where she
had apparently organized to be sited next to him, how she asked him to
recommend an architect, and how he said that he could do it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mies previous house the Tugendhat dated from 1930 and was a
very large house built in Europe with an unlimited budget <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6972595589830111916&pli=1#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';"><span style="font-size: x-small;">[1]</span></span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>.
So almost 20 years later Mies got the opportunity to build a real glasshouse.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
By that time Mies was well established in North America, he
was the dean of architecture at IIT and had gained recognition. With the
Farnsworth commission he was given the opportunity to build a project that
would represent his ideas about architecture.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Indeed the Farnsworth is the realisation of Mies’ ideals:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“The Farnsworth House consists of three horizontal planes: a
terrace, a floor and a roof. Welded to the leading edge of each plane are steel
columns that keep them all suspended in mid-air. Because they do not rest <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">on</i> the columns, but merely touch them in
passing, these horizontal elements seem to be held to their support by
magnetism. Floor and roof appear as opaque planes defining the top and bottom
of a volume whose sides are simply large panel of glass. The Farnsworth House
is, indeed, a quantity of air caught between a floor and a roof “<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6972595589830111916&pli=1#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';"><span style="font-size: x-small;">[2]</span></span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Finished in 1951 it is still a grand lady worth the detour.<o:p></o:p></div>

My parents were visiting this past week and so in true 'holiday with my dad' fashion we went on an architectural tour of Connecticut last Saturday. Since there was so much to see I will be splitting out our day over several posts (even keep your eye out for a guest post) and what a better way to start then with our first stop <a href="http://philipjohnsonglasshouse.org/">Philip Johnson's Glass House</a>. </div>

Completed in 1949 this building, just shy of 1,800 sq.ft. was built as a weekend retreat for Johnson and his partner. With relatively uninterrupted views over the surrounding woodlands, this 'pavilion' as it's called, really is a little piece of heaven. Large glass panels make up the walls - even called by Johnson as "expensive wallpaper" - with steel structure that sit at each of the four corners. The palette is simple and uncomplicated really allowing one to feel as though you are part of the surrounding landscape. The glass walls are cleverly punctuated by a centrally located full-height door on each side, giving the house a great through draft and keeling the symmetry apparent.</div>

The only solid structure of the house is a brick-clad cylinder that houses the bathroom on one side and the fireplace on the other. The interior of the bathroom is covered with green mosaic tiles that mimic the greenery outside, and then a completely decadent leather ceiling. LOVE! The house is furnished almost entirely by Mies van der Rohe furniture which came from Johnson's New York apartment.</div>

On the property there are several other buildings acting as art galleries for Johnson's extensive collection and a guest house - known as the brick house as it's exterior walls brick, punctuated only by three relatively small round windows the back. Only an hour drive outside of Manhattan the house is in New Canaan and would be appreciated equally by those in the design field and those not. </div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Every
once in a while I come across a piece of design while searching for something
completely different and it renders me speechless. Today is no different! While on <a href="http://www.1stdibs.com/">1stDibs</a> looking for some interesting chairs for a project down in the West Village, I
came across these <a href="http://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/building-garden/andirons/giacometti-andiron-set/id-f_790976/">Giacometti andirons</a> and had to stop and take a moment to
admire. To me they are the epitome of form and functional. Sold through <a href="http://www.wyethome.com/">Wyeth </a>here in
New York these 1950’s pieces are made of guilt bronze and iron. I love the shape, materiality and scale of these
pieces, and although made almost 70 years ago they still feel so current and
really would make a statement in any fireplace - you’ll have to leap over the
$24,000 price tag to take these home though! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am working on a project in Greenwich which is a traditional stone house, however the clients - a younger couple - have a more simple modern sensibility. I've been looking for concept images with more detailed interiors filled with simple clean furnishings. While the images below aren't really appropriate for this house they are a wonderful mix of ornate architectural details with contemporary furniture and fittings. Published in <a href="http://elleinterior.se/hem-en-gomd-skatt-i-malmo/">Elle Interior Sweden</a> last year, one really does get a sense of how these people live and how a room with striking details and great volumes can really hold it's own with whatever furnishings you see fit. I just love the green colour of the dining room walls. Happy Tuesday all!</div>

I know that my posts have been few and far between lately, and I really am trying, so when something comes across my screen I just have to share. Enter S-Cube Chalet. Located in Bnaider, Kuwait and designed by <a href="http://www.agi-architects.com/#projects?i=16">AGI Architects</a>, this building is the perfect mix of modern design, materiality and detail. Not to mention an incredible location with a pretty stunning view! </div>

Sadly the design world lost a very talented and inspiring designer today. <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2013/07/17/david-collins-dies---obituary--tribute---luxury-interior-designer">David Collins</a> passed away after a short fight with cancer. He will be greatly missed and his interiors will continue to inspire us all.</div>

Okay, so I have a thing for paper. I have always loved all things paper (even have a <a href="http://pinterest.com/canoedesign/all-things-paper/">pinterest</a> board dedicated to it), so when I came across the work of <a href="http://biancachang.com/">Bianca Chang</a> I was mesmerized She's an Australian paper cut artist with immense precision - each cut is done by hand (see <a href="http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2011/june/bianca-chang">here</a> for a video)! and I really cannot believe that these works are made up of layers and layers of paper. I don't know about you but I know I wouldn't have the patience!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am a little behind in my reading and so I was going through April's Architectural Digest (okay, I'm a lot behind on my reading) and was struck by the article on the new David Zwimer Gallery by architect Anabelle Selldorf. The article features the amazing five story staircase and it's wood board imprinted concrete walls (see image above). I have loved concrete as an interior building material and am constantly amazed at how creative and boundary pushing designers are with this material. No longer do I think that people associate it with being a cold material, but rather that it adds an element of bespoke design that some might say is unparalleled - where else can you find a material that will literally take any form or impression you give it? </div>

I'm also loving the fact that concrete is being used for furnishings - whether lighting or exterior furniture. Some of my favs are below.</div>

With Memorial Day having just passed and most people we know having spent the weekend out of the city, it has really made me feel like I need a break. I love Manhattan with all it's hustle and bustle and "city that never sleeps feel" however sometimes it just gets a little overwhelming. I was perusing <a href="http://trendland.com/mini-cabin-by-olson-kundig-architects/">Trendland</a> - on of my favorite places for inspiration - and I came across this amazing modern cabin by renowned Seattle-based <a href="http://www.olsonkundigarchitects.com/Projects/1316/Gulf-Islands-Cabin-">Olson Kundig Architects</a>. They have a wonderful collection of wood, steel and glass cabins (definitely worth a look) and this particular one is located on the Gulf Islands in British Columbia. I love how simple, clean and perfectly planned it is, nestled in it's surroundings. This has really inspired me and made me crave a little break in the woods. Any ideas for a weekend getaway?</div>
