Traci Cavender thinks that practical design doesn’t have to mean sacrificing personal style. This pool house created by her is an infinity pool of green. Its living roof is a sustainable solution and it includes a terraced landscape that lets rainwater percolate into the soil. The rooftop garden sits above high, bright windows it looks as though it’s a floating carpet of beautiful coneflowers, black-foot daisies, and native grasses – it’s like a piece of a meadow. From the main house, the pool house virtually disappears, showing only a rich rug of vegetation unbroken by venting or pipes. With more than ten inches of soil, the roof garden mimics the natural way the earth absorbs rainwater; drain holes cut into the metallic frame that anchors the garden act like boat scuppers, allowing excess water to flow out. Genius, isn’t it?

Original Jar RGB Glass Lights For Your Kitchen
Bottles repurposed into lamps? Kind of that! We’ve already told you of some curious kitchen lights that attract attention and highlight the interior. Designer Arik Levy created a very original collection for glass firm Lasvit – this is Jar RGB collection. The name actually reflects the point: there are jars and RGB is a model for color synthesis. The bottle-shaped vessels designed to hang together in groups of three or seven while the light is emitted through one translucent white glass lamp, while the colored pieces made from clear glass hang alongside to create a form of RGB color mixing. It’s a very interesting lighting solution suitable not only for home but also for some bars and cafes.

Charming 18th Century Duplex With Chic Minimalist Interior
Restored houses are amazing because the outside often remains the same – stylish, old and charming, and the inside becomes modern and cozy. Michael Herrman, principal of French studio Ateliers Michael Herrman, renovated an 18th century building in Place de la Madeleine, Paris. Partly the charm of the old interior remained – original limestone walls and the oak beams but some modern features were added – transparent glass floor, super modern fireplace and cool furniture like wrapped coffee tables, mirror tables with lighting and chairs. White was chosen as the main color to widen the space and bring light in. Chic minimalism and charm of the old architecture – that’s a success!

The look is completed with wool and linen, neutral tones and soft textures. Instead of headboards you’ll see some fabric, wool and cashmere soften even more. The furniture is modern, a mix of traditional and eclectic findings from the whole Europe.
