Down Mexico Way…

…we find updated hacienda, Casa San Miguel de Allende, by DHD Architecture and Interior Design.  A modern retreat with all work completed with locally available materials and local artisans.  The 10,000 square foot courtyard house has a hot-spring fed swimming pool.  The colors used throughout the home are beautiful.  Muy bueno…

HeadRoad 1815…

…Perched high on a ridge with views to infinity this three storey home in Fresnaye, Cape Town by SAOTA – Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects – takes advantage of a difficult steep site. Balancing concrete, glass and granite on columns that dig deep into the ground, the architects have opened the building’s face to that amazing vista. Such solidity balanced by a desire to run, jump and fly away into the blue.

…how great is this?  architecture, interior design, and family pet…in harmony.

…fresh air and sunlight.

…you’ll find me here.
