Cheap Modern DeskMuseum District Modern by Barbara Hill Design
I have always been a huge fan of Barbara Hill, she has an amazing eye for artistic minimalism. I am sure most of us at one time have seen some of these amazing interiors. I haven’t posted her work here before but when one of my favorite online galleries, city-furniture tweeted about her I was reminded of these stunning interiors. One project stood out to me and I thought “I could live, work and thrive in this stunner”. The color pallet used in the Museum District Modern project are so soothing and calming. The artwork and furniture are uniquely full of character.
Interiors by Roberta Moura
Brazil based Roberta Moura and associates have some really nice interior projects in their body of work, I really love the tropical feel that theses space exude. Another element that I like in some of these interiors is an eclectic feel. For me images 1, 6 and 8 really drive home the idea of a modern collected space.

Four-Room Cottage by Owen and Vokes
There is just something about an all black and white house, what is it? Is it the perfect canvas for every other element in and around it? Brisbane based Owen and Vokes has done a fantastic job on the Four-Room cottage, it feels like a formal glam beach house. I really love all of the surrounding vegetation that is part of this modern homes landscaping.
Interiors by ESTUDIO GUTO REQUENA
Totally enthralled with the work of ESTUDIO GUTO REQUENA. They are dead on with the style that I love. Give me some killer mid century pieces and mix them with some brightly colored pop art with a little dash of contemporary and BLAM!, or maybe POW…..LOVE IT! Does anyone know where the chair in the first pick came from and who the designer is?
“We believe in interactive, hiper-sensory, poetics, contemporary, humorous and honest spaces.”
D-Hotel wins international price - Govaert & Vanhoutte Architects
I have posted about the amazing architectural work of Govaert & Vanhoutte in the past but most recently they sent me an email announcing that their D-Hotel won international price. If you read plastolux at all you know that I am a big fan of juxtaposition and the D-Hotel is just that. Not only are the new additions striking but the interiors are all diverse in a modern flavor.
A formation of three concrete volumes gather around a U-shaped farm building and a protected renovated windmill. The old and new entities have no direct contact above the surface, though underground there is a tunnel underneath the old farm, forming the base of the concept. Starting from the hotel reception, the tunnel disappears under the inner square through a contemporary glass volume.
