Green and white exterior imitates the dappled light through the trees. House has a large garden and patio facing the street, that is very unusual for modern design projects. Interesting feature of the residence is vertical glazing that allows reducing the need for artificial lighting and enabling ocean breezes to naturally ventilate the entire house. Most of the doors employ frosted glass, which transmits natural light while preserving privacy. There are four bedrooms with carefully chosen views in the house.

La Cova Night Club, new project from Elia Felices, located in Mataro, near Barcelona. This Dance Theatre occupies 500 square meters and includes different areas: cloakroom, ticket office, dance floor where two bars with long counters run along both side, DJ cabin and the area for the audience. The main idea of the project was to create ice cavern in the centre of the city. Decorations, lights, shapes and colors follow this theme. For instance, two enormous neo-baroque lamps hanging like stalactites. The other source of light comes from some standing vases that look like rocks emerging from beneath the floor. This is a place for meeting people and all of the space organized to move easily and communicate with pleasure.

Take a guess about where this nice house is located. I don’t know about you, but I subconsciously feel by looking at the pictures that this is a British house. Maybe that’s because there is a plenty of neoclassical elements and this style has been popular in Britain for ages and still is, actually. There is a very original mixture of neoclassical and modern styles, the interior looks sober and calm. The only thing that we don’t get is how those floral-laced chairs are supposed to fit in to the interior, I guess the designers had to put that white-blue bowl in the kitchen to justify the chairs. The kitchen is rather good, black tiles contrast well with white surroundings and it seems to be very comfortable to cook in.

Alanna Davey is a stylist and interior designer in Toronto. We already reviewed quite a lot of interior designs, like this outstanding work by Yabu Pushelberg, but this Lady’s works are not just professional, but also very cheerful and cozy. You would never be unhappy while living in such a bright residence. She uses a wide variety of tricks and styles, absorbed from many cultures, ranging from neoclassical style like the one on the last picture, to the modern cozy style. We also loved some of the furniture on those pictures, like this original stand on the third picture.
