A Brazilian Beach House

Football is not the only reason why you should spend your summer in Brazil, as you can tell by this beach house. Created by designer Sig Bergamin and Murilo Lomas, this summer house located in Trancose has a fresh and unique cosmopolitan look.

Inside… Sacha Walckhoff’s apartment

Sacha Walckhoff’s apartment is undeniably one of a kind! Mixing artfully the Arabian Nights’ décor with a very pure Scandinavian design, the creative director of Christian Lacroix has managed to mix and match different styles beautifully. A quick guided tour:

Living Room



We love:
  • The painting inside the chimney;
  • The eclectic style and the feeling you’re in a (chic) bazar;
  • The big blue fan at the end of the room (by Maarten Baas).


Corridor


Curiosity Cabinet style

We love:
  • The big Zebra;
  • The pyramid of books and magazine framing the entrance;
  • The eclectic style (again), in-between a design store and a curiosity cabinet.

  • The lines and curves.

An amazing house build for £150



Building an entire house for less than £150? It is possible! Micheal Buch's house has been build almost exclusively with natural or waste material. He paid only £150 - around US$200 - to create this beautiful cottage right next to Oxford. This eco-friendly and functional home reminds us Gallic huts. Guided tour:

Wood-heating system, natural light only, walls painted with a mix of chalk and resin plant, water coming from a very near natural source, no electricity: difficult to be more eco-friendly!

Inside…Cindy Sherman's house




World-famous photographer Cindy Sherman - mostly reputated for her autoportrait panel - moves from her studio in New York to her weekend house in the Hamptons. Today, we are exploring her heteroclite and colorful countryside home, in which we can travel from one room to another.
