Kolodishchi Interior Design
With Summer in full speed, we started getting some thoughts about doing some renovations. Living in a country where you spend about 4 months in the harsh cold of Winter. You do want to plan your time accordingly so you are able to do whatever it is that you wanna before the Cold cycle start knocking at your door all over again. While looking at inspiration for Interior Design, we stumbled across this minimalistic & beautiful project by Dmitry Sheleg and his work on an Scandinavian style apartment. Two-story house interior design in a modern scandinavian style for a young couple. About Dmitry Sheleg Dmitry is a designer working mainly in digital art, interior design and architecture that is currently based in Minks, Belarus. We look forward to see more from him.

Loft-Living Around the Globe
From London to Los Angeles, Sydney to San Francisco, loft-living as a hip alternative to the traditional dwelling option. With more and more creative and innovative design forces restoring historic warehouse buildings left to rot, the number of chic lofts cropping up globally was just enough to inspire this post. The common denominator in all of these spectacular spaces is the undivided living space and exposed architectural elements like brick, beams, concrete, ventilation ducts, and large industrial windows. We hope you enjoy and please share any amazing loft spaces you've stumbled upon in the comments section.

Yoobi Temakeria : Good Food Meets Good Design in London
Yoobi Temakeria, located in London's Soho, is the brainchild of two entrepreneurs with ties to Brazil and Japan. Temaki, a variety of sushi born in Brazil where the largest Japanese population outside of Brazil resides, is simply fresh sushi wrapped in a cone. Taking this basic idea and creating an overall look and feel for the restaurant that resonates with the cultures it was inspired by was not an easy feat. The clean, minimal design is the result of impeccable architecture and super minimal design elements that creatively meld the vibe of Rio, Tokyo and London into one. Gundry and Ducker Architecture brought the space, a former warehouse, back to its roots by unearthing the original brick. A color palette was created by Ico Design and can be seen peppered throughout the unique space in a fun, quirky way while maintaining the minimal aesthetic. Enjoy a look behind the scenes of this awesome 360 degree branding project and be sure to visit Yoobi next time you pay London a visit! For more information visit: http://www.loveyoobi.com/
Philippe Starck designed hotel: Mama Shelter Istanbul
Mama Shelter, a whimsical brand of French hotels designed by the incomparable Philippe Starck, welcomes its fourth sibling with Mama Shelter Istanbul. I've had the opportunity to stay in the chain's chic Paris outpost and was overjoyed at every turn with the mix of wit and humor in the overall design. Mama Shelter Istanbul leaves no stone unturned and looks to be just as cool if not cooler than its 3 older sibs. If you have an upcoming trip to Istanbul on the docket I recommend you book your stay at this hip haven immediately if not sooner. The most enticing detail, uber cool comfort that isn't going to wipe out your entire travel budget. Check out a glimpse inside and get inspired to plan your journey after the jump. Like the other properties, Mama Shelter Istanbul is designed by Philippe Starck and features guest rooms with whitewashed walls stippled with pops of orange. The communal bar hosts a programme of hip DJ parties to attract young Turks, who begin the evening at the restaurant. The menu offers a mix of local and European fare by Michelin three-star chef Alain Senderens and features his special boeuf bourguignon with mashed potatoes. A roof terrace, serving an equally delectable menu of cocktails, is bound to be a summer hit. - Wallpaper For more information visit http://www.mamashelter.com/en/istanbul/rooms/

Incredible Modernist Dollhouses
Every little girl (and maybe even little boy) dreams of having their very own dollhouse. A miniature alternate reality where they make the rules. There could be a bathtub in the attic, a bed in the living room, a dining table in the bedroom. Anything goes. I was not one of those girls...at least not until now. I came across this article in The New York Times of modernist dollhouses that are down to the last detail (even a recycling bin!). The aim here is not to create a dream place, but instead to show the reality, the grit, and the mess of living in the city. In fact, the furniture in the first dollhouse is directly modelled off of IKEA! By the look of these dollhouses it could turn into a pretty expensive hobby. Pretty gratifying though! Anyone want to get me a dollhouse? ;) Like this? Follow me on twitter for more!
A Quick Look Inside Miami Ad School
Some days ago Fabio visited this school, on the San Francisco headquarters, and after that he told me that he was amazed by the place. That the visual was astonishing, cozy and very inspiring. In the moment he talked to me about this place I decided to check it out to write a post about it. So we asked them for some pictures, and here it is, a quick look inside the Miami Ad School. It’s calling for fame generators, trendsetters and game changers. People we like to think of as “Pop Culture Engineers”. Which is why we are known as the School of Pop Culture Engineering. We are not just a school of advertising: it's design school, creative writing school, art school, portfolio school, photography school, technical school, copywriting school, film school, business school and think tank, all rolled into one. Miami Ad School has locations in several places, in cities like Berlin, London, New York and São Paulo. I didn't see the other offices but this headquarter in San Francisco is really amazing. The students there breath inspiration everywhere. The building has a simple architecture but has plenty of style. They explore rustic mobils with modern materials, and sometimes rustic materials with modern mobils. Places large and propitious to the study and creation. It is worth checking the photos out and sure to stop by there for whoever is the neighborhood of San Francisco. Thanks Ryan Siu for the photos and the invite to visit the school. Thanks for the photos sent by students from the Miami Ad School!
