The white washed stucco exterior of the Tumasi House in Ibiza, Spain seems to glow under the hot Spanish sun, providing a wonderful contrast to the cool, deep blue of the infinity pool. The house and surrounding patio are created out of a multitude of angles and planes, creating an architectural oasis that invites you to relax and unwind.
The Spanish interior design features an open floor plan that flows naturally from living area to kitchen and out to the patio, creating a spacious, cool haven. The windows and patio doors are generously framed in aluminum for a sparkling, modern touch that coordinates with the commercial grade stainless steel appliances and adds to the perception of coolness. Classic pieces like the calfskin rug, black sectional sofa and Verner Panton dining chairs pull everything together.
Predock Frane Architects created the impressive Habitat 15 project which is a four story, 15-unit infill housing project at the foot of the Hollywood Hills.
Each white apartment offers a different design with many light sources. What’s interesting about this project is that the building is split in two separate buildings – West and East, with a central courtyard acting as both a buffer and connection between them.
The white interior plays off the building white architecture magically. My favorite part of the building is the façade, it has a gorgeous original play of windows – scattered mosaic – Very Unique!

The location and design of this Beach House is Breathtaking! This stunning white house boasts the Pacific Ocean to the south, a gorgeous courtyard to the west, and the Pacific Coast Highway to the north.
There’s a perfect harmony between the straight ‘boxed’ and organic designs of this modern house. The architecture is very interesting and fully loaded with detail. The bright white interior offers a grand space for dining and entertaining, where residents and guests are surrounded by floor to ceiling windows and a collection of rooftop skylights.
I really like how the courtyard provides a visual and spacial link to the entry, the highway and the ocean beyond. Plus the white modern interior complements the house perfectly. What a truly magnificent dream home!

Adding a stylish extension to your home can dramatically boost its charm. It doesn’t even have to be a large addition, it just has to complement the existing home. I love the work ODOS architects completed on a refurbishment and home extension in Dalkey, Ireland.
The brilliant extension allows the owners to connect the back of the house to the second level effortlessly. One of the main design features is the various windows carefully placed throughout the extension adding a natural flood of light – giving the interior an almost dreamy affect. The outdoor garden shares the main floor with it’s minimal design. The black Terrazzo floor perfectly grounds the beautiful white interior. Very inspirational work!
