Cheap Modern DeskA modern setting in Palm Springs
By now you have noticed that I have a fondness for fashion and architecture together. This shoot, Bette Franke by Lachlan Bailey for Harper’s Bazaar US February 2012 falls right into that category. I like the fact that the the setting is in the more “typical” neighborhoods in Palm Springs and not in the super cool or icon houses that can be found in this city. I do wish they would have gone into some of the homes.
Realtor Michael Locke
While trolling Flickr I came across the photos of Realtor Michael Locke. Michael is a Realtor focused on the Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Echo Park and other Eastside Los Angeles areas. I asked If I could share some of his imagery with my readers as he visited some stellar properties. Just to name a few: Richard Neutra, Pierre Koenig, John Lautner, Josef Van der Kar and Lloyd Wright. If any of you are in the market for a modern house in these areas make sure to look him up. All images are © Michael Locke.

Kilian O’Sullivan Architectural Photography
Kilian O’Sullivan has a killer book full of amazing photography of modern interiors and exteriors. I love that he has a “Dusk” section where homes are shown right at dusk with the interior lights on, it makes for such a dramatic image.
House DS in Destelbergen by Graux & Baeyens
What I have gathered from projects like this, is that people really love them or they think that they’re some sort of abomination. I for one absolutely love the whole juxtaposition thing. The mate black structure siting against the old patina brick is a fantastic combination. Graux & Baeyens has some other very cool projects in their book, maybe my new favorite?
Govaert & Vanhoutte Architecture
New favorite architects, well for today anyway. Govaert & Vanhoutte Architecture has a stunning portfolio full of modern homes and interiors. The straight edges and off set boxes are my favorite type of design. Someday I will have my glorious flat roofed, boxy house of goodness, some day.
Through the lens of Tim Bies
Tim Bies has a stunning portfolio full of killer modern architecture and interiors. I love modern homes captured right at dusk with all of the interior and exterior lighting on, it creates so much drama. I love the large scale and openness of some of these homes. Tim Bies is obviously very talented, his work speaks for itself.
