Sanya Arts Space

London based Archiect Tamir Addadi recently renovated a private house in a posh locality in London by making extensions and alterations to the workspace, the kitchen, the garden and he even lent his creative juices to designing bespoke furniture for the project. What instantly strikes you about the dynamic space is its harmonized interiors which are in perfect tandem with nature and the surrounding greenery. Every room has ample natural lighting which is remarkable given how dull and grey London can be. It is hard to believe that this contemporary and minimalist space was originally a Victorian house!

Says Addadi:

"The main aim of the project was to create a sense of unity between the back garden and the house, allowing nature to play a significant part in the daily activities of the family."

The Fossa sofa also happens to be a lounger, a bed or a corner sectional depending on your wishes. We're actually looking at a modular couch that can be rearranged whenever you feel like going for a new sofa design. The Fossa, although not the only modular sofa out there, is definitely unique and could be very well considered for all sorts of interior design ideas. The sofa is also a great addition to small homes too as it can also act as an improvised bed since all of its cushions can be rearranged in any way you see fit. Therefore the Fossa could act as a comfortable bed at night and then as a full-sized sofa during the rest of the day. Via COR

We're always looking for interesting design and architecture ideas and today we have such an inspiring creation for you. The D'espresso Cafe New York is certainly a very creative place when it comes to interior design. The room looks as if a regular library has tumbled over on one of the sides. Everything rotates by 90 degrees, so the wooden floor actually becomes a wall while the bookcases filled with plenty of books occupy the new floor, the ceiling and a remaining wall. Not to mention that the former ceiling still provides all the light you'd need while defying gravity in the process. This D'espresso coffee place is definitely a good choice for going out, so if you happen to be in New York, do check it out! Via TheCoolist

Many houses come with some sort of attic space; these vary in size and shape depending on the building. The tragic thing about the humble attic is that the majority of them remain unused apart from being the home for old boxes and memories. However as you clearly see from these images, the attic or roof space, can be easily utilized into a valuable space, it could become another bedroom, study or if there is enough space another sitting room. The great thing about the attic is that it is already there and with a minimum of expense, a wonderful area can be created at the top of the house, image just how peaceful it could be having a whole floor converted into just one room. Of course, there are some barriers it's not all good news! Such as, making sure all of the building regulations are covered and then there is the cost, depending on the condition of the attic space before conversion takes place. However, if after all of that you end up with a room like those in the images, wouldn't it have been worth it?

Whenever the words "a place in the country" are uttered the usual reaction is to think of a large rural house with a long drive leading up to manicured lawns and finely cut hedgerows, of course, that is Jane Austin and this the real world, where most people have to make do. However, making do, does not have to mean going without, take this small country cottage for instance, it is located on the Isle of Wight, which is along the southern coast of England. The building is nothing more than a summerhouse, which is a posh name for a shed. Yet this place has style and feeling, sure, not everyone can have the lakeside location, but the building is within the reach of most people. As for the decor, what grabs the attention is the simplicity of pastel shades and a minimum of furniture that makes the most of the space that is available without overcrowding the limited floor space, it is truly a place in the country, where relaxation is the order of the day.

The modern kitchen is full of technology these days, therefore its quite nice to find some kitchen appliances that even though they based in scientific instruments, no technology is required just a keen eye for something that looks nice while doing the job that is asked of it.

First of all there is the plant pot, this is ideal for someone who is going away, just fill the bottle up with water and the plant will still be alive upon your return its simple and yet so very effective.

The wine pourer is a brilliant piece of design that turns pouring a glass of wine into a piece of performance theater. This is the perfect center piece for a dinner party, although clearly this is limited to just four glasses at a time.

There is something about glass that creates a feeling of style and class in a room and in particular, the kitchen because it is clean and bright, but it has to be kept cleaned all of the time, otherwise it will end up looking dull and dated.

Here is another unique hanging lamp that seems like a ribbon of sorts at first glance. Designers Paul Charlwood and Luca Abate created the "Ribbons of Life Lamp" to resemble a strand of DNA with help from a 3D printing and the highly shapeable ABS plastic. I bet this is one hanging light that would really cast some unusual shadows on the wall. Via
