House tour : Underground vacation home

Hello , I want to apologize for being absent from my blog for the past few days , but shooting of Spiti Apo tin Arxi kept me really busy.
Today I want to show you an underground vacation home (located in Switzerland)that was designed by Bjarne Mastenbroek and Christian Müller [architectural offices SeARCH and CMA].
This only access to villa Vals is an underground tunnel which runs straight through the mountainside.
Wood & concrete are the main ingredients for this recipe.
I really wish I was there right now.

ps: Villa Vals can be booked for €1750 to €3450 per week, depending on the season

Renovated Warehouse in Melbourne

I found the home or should I say 'Warehouse' of my dreams on HomeDsgn and now I want to share the feeling with you.
It was definitely love at first sight.
This apartment is located in a historic 1880′s building in Melbourne, Australia.
It's an old renovated Warehouse and it has three bedrooms, two bathroom plus it's on Sale!
Truth is that it looks like a loft , but it isn't.
The chandelier combined with the high concrete ceilings makes this apartment my Dream House.
What do you think?

House tour:Small & well planned Interior

Despite its size, only 40 square meters, it looks like there's nothing missing in this apartment.
A well planned modern apartment with big windows that allow natural light to flow through the house.
A small interior that expresses the modern way we're living in 2011!
I adore it.

Philippe Starck | Louis Ghost Chair

Philippe Patrick Starck (born January 18, 1949, Paris) is a French product designer and probably the best known designer in the New Design style.
Regarding Starck's furniture designs, he is famous for his designs for the Italian manufacturer Kartell, many of which are made from polycarbonate plastic. World famous products he has designed include the transparent Louis Ghost chair, Ero|S| chair, Bubble Club sofa, and La Bohème stool.
Today I want to talk to you about the famous Ghost Chair.
Louis Ghost chair was introduced in 2002 and it's a continuation of the use of durable polycarbonate by the firm.

 Available in clear, opaque black, opaque white, smoke grey, straw yellow, pale orange, ice green and pale blue. colored chairs appear to tinted. 


A comfortable armchair in transparent and colored polycarbonate in the Louis XV style, Louis Ghost is the most daring example of the world of injected polycarbonate in a single mould.
Despite its evanescent and crystalline appearance, Louis Ghost is stable and durable, shock, scratch and weather resistant. Perfect for outdoor spaces.

You can buy a Louis Ghost armchair for $330.00
If you live in Greece you can buy (with a minimum order of 50 pieces) here.
For international orders I found the Louis Ghost chair available to buy here
