An Attic in Paris
What was once the former Paris mansion of star Josephine Baker is now home to architect François Pélegrin, wife Evelyn and family. Sensitively renovated, they left untouched as much of the original architecture as possible, concentrating on making it energy efficient. Now set up as a duplex, François works from his office on the ground floor, while he and his family live in the charming attic you see here. More here on Maison Créative.

The Porsche-Inspired House
It is in the city of Asahikawa on Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost main island, that you'll find a house devoted to a dream. Of a Porsche 911, actually. The businessman owner longs to own one some day, and in the meantime requested Jun Igarashi Architects to build him a house where he could gaze at that Porsche — one that Igarashi honoured by placing an extra wide doorway between the living room and garage. The rest of the house is just as remarkable, consisting of 11 boxes clustered around two courtyards — all featuring a minimalist aesthetic (and plenty of room for his wife and child to entertain themselves when the businessman admires his new car). More here on Interior Design.

This pretty Dutch family home has a splendid lightness of touch, with delicate pastels and blond wood used to great effect against the bright white background. So livable and welcoming. More here on vt wonen.

Atelier: Dorothea Tanning
Today I'm admiring The Girl, a costume design for the 1950 ballet The Witch by John Cranko. Drawn by the fascinating Dorothea Tanning, this delicately lovely ink and gouche drawing on dark blue paper definitely transcends its original use — it's a work of art all on its own.

A Well Designed Life
Today I'm admiring the lovely Frederiksberg apartment of art director Ida Thestrup and analysis consultant Morten Dalgaard Hansen — fantastic style in a small space, with lovely touches of surreal humour here and there. Really love this one. More here on BoligLiv.
