Beautiful Los Angeles
LA has one of the best modern mid-century gems.

Beautiful Bauhaus
Bunk with Breuer and the gang. The Bauhaus Dessau is now open to the public,
a modernist dream. For $47 a night, you can snooze in the same rooms that were
shared by Joseph Albers and architects Franz Ehrlich and Alfred Arndt.
Sweet dreams indeed. Sleep like a Bauhasler.

Beautiful Tile
I usually go for the less is more look but something
about this tile is beautiful. Maybe it’s the combination
of color, symmetrical pattern, and shapes contrasting
with the simple lines of the sink. They work well
together without appearing too busy. I just like it.
Beautiful Living Room
I could live here.
Beautiful Bath
Waterfall in the bathroom?…hmm,
maybe not for everyone but I’ll take it.
Beautiful Renovated Castle
This redeemed castle is stunning, I could live here.
Creativity, renovation and conservation at its absolute
best. Beautifully detailed and crafted.
Kudos to architectural firm Witherford Watson Mann
for winning the 2013 RIBA Stirling Prize, an annual award
recognizing the best in British architecture, for their
refurbishment of the 12th Century Astley Castle
in Warwickshire, England.
The medieval walls remain standing, gashes and all.
The renewed detailed construction of brick, concrete
and wood sits entirely within the ancient footprint,
visually enriched by the Castle’s imperfect remains.
As the architects explain, “The house is animated by
slashes of sunlight on stone walls and views over the
ancient landscape. At the dining table, you look out
from twelfth and twenty-first century construction
to fifteenth and seventeenth century walls –
the dialogue across the centuries frames
conversations between friends.”
A deserved recognition indeed.
