Here, a brand new pool and spa sit invitingly, overlooked by a fully-equipped cabana complete with a kitchen and full bath. Numerous sunny patios and loggias create a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces, their beauty enhanced by a characterful pebbled driveway, charming new trellis works, and meticulously redesigned landscaping. The garden exudes tranquility with its mature trees and serene flower beds, while a built-in BBQ island, complete with a wet bar and refrigerator, ensures this is an outdoor oasis designed for both relaxation and entertaining. All this is complemented by outdoor speakers and the practicality of a sewer connection.

Theodore Wirth Ranch Exudes a Homey Modern Vibe

Who wouldn’t want to live in a home that is not just beautiful but also totally comfortable and cozy?

Envisioned as a modern ranch, the home sits next to a densely wooded park that creates a retreat-like feel during the summer months while revealing the Minneapolis downtown skyline and its close proximity to the city throughout the winter season.

The home uses a variety of key materials throughout its design, like Corten Steel wall panels, natural Cedar, ground and polished concrete and Kasota limestone.

Containing the volumes of the home, the striking cantilevered roof plane shields the living spaces from the summer sun while catalyzing the sense of energy and movement throughout the entire site.

With a constant requirement for precision, the joinery and timing of materials throughout the home create clean, harmonic spaces that carry one throughout the home. Celebrating a truth in materials, white walls highlight the wide variety of finishes including clear timber, sandstone, marble, cork, concrete, and steel.

Stepping inside, the materials from the exterior of the home are also used on the interior, like in the entryway, where a floating bench is affixed to a limestone wall.

In the living room, the same limestone is used as a fireplace surround and wood framed windows let plenty of natural light in.

Off to the right of the kitchen is a dining booth with lime green and patterned banquette seating. On the other side of the kitchen and near the front door is the dining room. Wood cabinetry ties in with the wood ceiling and wood dining table.

There’s a home office suitable for two people with views of the surrounding parkland. Read Also: Timeless Materials in Leschi Dearborn House of Seattle, Washington

Behind the living room is the kitchen that combines wood and white cabinets and counters with black elements for a sophisticated modern appearance.

Aside from the black and wood combination in the kitchen, it also boasts its angular design for the island and shelves. This does not only create a unique feature in the kitchen but it also adds a modern vibe to the entire space.

The bedroom has large windows that become the focal point in the room as the wood frames of the windows break up the mostly white room.

In the master bathroom, a dark wood-framed mirror sits above the vanity with dual sinks and a stone counter.

In the powder room, a few brass accents and a tall mirror brighten up the small space.

Seen here is the staircase that is made from a combination of wood and steel. It sure gives this home that modern ranch feel!

The wood cabinetry in the dining room somewhat hides the stairs that lead down to the basement, where there are an open storage space and wine cellar.

Just off the living room is an outdoor space with a swimming pool, deck, and cabana with an outdoor kitchen and dining area. Looking back at the house, the cantilevered roof plane shields the living spaces from the summer sun. Mitigating street noise from the southern edge of the property, a planted berm adds privacy while further creating a sense of refuge in its semi-urban setting.

This residence was designed in a way that can easily accommodate gatherings and be used as a place to entertain. Central to the property, a 10-meter swimming pool reflects views of the surrounding structures.

In addition to the sauna, the pool house along the western edge provides a sheltered deck area and outdoor kitchen. Reflecting off the expansive south facing windows of the home, the pool helps frame views from within the open volumes of the living spaces. One of the goals of the designers is to create a home with lasting durability and an enduring aesthetic. In order to achieve that, Strand Design used varied materials for the project. All the materials were carefully chosen for their natural beauty. This way, it can draw a close connection to the raw elements of the earth. Because of this, the house turned out really beautiful both in the interior and exterior. Aside from that, the outdoor area is also very inviting especially that it has its own pool and a pool house. There are many impressive features of this house that you will surely love to use as an inspiration for your dream home. Can you tell me what you like most in this home? Read the full article

A Picturesque 2.5 Acre Parcel

[mischkakogan]

Inside of a 300-Year-Old Belgian Château

The designer’s thoughtful renovation for an art-collecting family balances old-world grandeur with chic modernity

Old houses need a lot of love and often considerable repair. When the home is an early-18th-century, 20,000-square-foot Belgian château with ten bedrooms requiring a top-to-tail renovation, it’s not for the faint of heart. Luckily, Nathan Litera, the young French interior designer tasked with the project, has the dual traits of imagination and savoir faire in spades.

His clients wished not only to bring back the grandeur of their faded property but also to inject it with much-needed modernity and sophistication, while making it a comfortable family home. A critical part of the revamp was creating a radiant setting for the owners’ thought-provoking art collection, which spans eras and mediums—from an abstract painting by Jean Dubuffet and a conceptual canvas by John Baldessari to a tantalizing bronze mask by Thomas Houseago.

“This is a historic house. It called for very intricate paneling, millwork, decorative paint, and wood floors close to the French Haussmann style,” the homeowner explains. “In Belgium we don’t have this tradition in the architectural scene. Our style is far more minimal, and the contractors don’t have the know-how that the French do, which is why we brought in Nathan.”

Litera, who was born in Paris and grew up in the West Indies, certainly had the right credentials for the ambitious project. A trained architect, he worked for the esteemed firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (now KPF) in New York and the cutting-edge Ateliers Jean Nouvel in Paris before teaming up with Parisian architect Joseph Dirand, for whom he designed interiors and furniture. In 2014, Litera launched his own practice with his business partner and wife, Lyatt Samama, and has quickly become highly sought after. To date, his wide-ranging commissions have included a Central Park duplex, a Hamptons tennis cabana, and a Left Bank townhouse. He completed a dazzling makeover of the soigné Manhattan restaurant Spring Place last winter, just a couple of weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic locked down the city. His first furniture line and showroom will debut in 2021.

When it came to updating the historic residence, Litera faced several obstacles, not least of which were restrictions concerning changes to landmark buildings. The proportions of the windows couldn’t be altered, for starters. In the entrance hall, a green stone fireplace had to stay, as did the carved-wood stair rail, which Litera modernized by painting dark brown. “One of the challenges was to have a dynamic vibe, while remaining faithful to the heritage of the château,” he says. “We had constraints, and yet we could find harmony within that framework.”

For the entry, Litera conceived a modern-day reception gallery in black-and-white chic, mixing standout midcentury furnishings with pieces by up-and-coming European designers. The grand curve of the staircase shelters a nearly nine-foot-long bench by George Nakashima paired with one of Christian Boltanski’s haunting installations depicting the faces of Holocaust victims. Across the room, large-scale paintings by Georg Baselitz and Marisa Merz join an Ado Chale table, whose aluminum top catches the glint of a 1950s chandelier by Holger Johansson.

Litera took two very different directions in the private quarters of the residence. For the family rooms, he hewed to classical French elements—employing herringbone wood floors, plaster walls and moldings, and decorative painting details throughout, while keeping the overall feel clean and modern. Art helps to loosen things up in the formal dining room, where gold-painted moldings amplify a series of Günther Förg abstract paintings. Ditto the breakfast room, which pairs choice Pierre Jeanneret cane chairs and a Geoffroy Van Hulle white stone table with provocative canvases by Baldessari and Sterling Ruby.

Indoors and out, the refreshed château seamlessly melds past and present, as classical refinement peacefully coexists with contemporary ease. “It’s tricky to do a historical building for modern use,” Litera admits. “You have to respect the heritage and at the same time be able to entertain children.” The ultimate triumph, he says, is “when you have babies running around in one room and a formal dinner going on next door.”

A verdade é que eu “des-aprendi” a parar.

Dia desses desabafei com amigos em um grupo do WhatsApp sobre o sentimento horrível que estava me rondando e borbulhando em minha cabeça. Sentia-me inútil, não conseguia estudar, ler, sequer manter os olhos abertos. Havia um cansaço inexplicável em não fazer absolutamente nada de útil (aos meus olhos). 

Logo eu, que amava ficar em casa, que queria fugir da rotina, da cidade, que queria ficar sozinha em uma cabana no meio do mato com meus livros. Logo eu que queria uma vida tranquila, longe do caos, não conseguia “parar”, precisava me manter ocupada e, se parava, sentia culpa. 

Queria ler, estudar. Havia uma enorme necessidade em produzir algo, em fazer da quarentena um período de produção, de trabalho. “Afinal, não é férias”, pensava. Pensava nos professores, “eles esperam que estudemos e voltemos com tudo!”; pensava na formatura, “falta pouco, logo serei uma profissional, preciso ser responsável”; pensava nas provas, concursos, salário; nos pontos no currículo; na quantidade de informações que poderia ter. Pensava em tudo, menos em mim.

E assim, deixei que ansiedade voltasse quase sorrateira. 

Chorei no yoga. Não conseguia respirar. Minha mente estava a milhão.

Chorei no colo da minha mãe e não conseguia dizer o porquê.

Chorei por não conseguir controlar a dualidade dentro de mim. Por não conseguir descansar e muito menos trabalhar. 

E essa é a realidade de muitas pessoas. 

Vivemos em uma sociedade dual onde você é julgado por não passar a sua vida inteira em função do trabalho, mas também é julgado se fizer isso e passar a vida em função da carreira e ter abandonado tudo inclusive a si próprio.

Onde você dorme e quanto mais dorme, mais cansado se sente, porque sua mente não se aquieta, e você não se deixa aquietar.

Onde é muito bonito e elegante fazer mil coisas em um só dia e ele só valeu a pena se você passou cada mísero segundo ocupadX com alguma coisa. Para o trabalho criaram até um termo bonito, que importamos da língua inglesa - “workaholic” - drrrrrruuuuu.

E no final, pagamos por tudo isso. Por não nos permitir um dia, ou vários, de folga perdemos anos da nossa vida preocupados demais, estressados demais, cansados demais para notar o amor nas pequenas coisas, na simplicidade, para ouvir o som da própria respiração.

Afinal, “o que passa no relógio não é o tempo, é a nossa própria vida” como ouvi um sábio dizer. 

E ela sim, não espera por nós. Não espera que terminemos o trabalho, o estudo, o livro...

Ela passa, pura e simplesmente.

For the coco teacher au, I was told you did the ‘day at the beach’ hcs. Do you have any for a night on the boardwalk for those characters?

I most definitely would!!! Haven’t done any headcanons for these guys in a while, so I’ll keep it short.

-Héctor-Likes to take every advantage of the proffered setting to romance la directora. The lights, the faint music from cabanas, the atmosphere (maybe even a drink or two), all prime keys to pulling his usually reserved lady love out of her shell. When he’s by himself, he likes to just stand by the railing and watch the moonlight on the water. The noises of the ocean and surrounding crowd clear his head.

-MiguelIs usually in bed at this late hour, but if Héctor can bring lil’ Chamaco along, he’ll trail after Miguel as the boy hops from street performer to street performer, and even offer a few coins. But it’s all fun and games until Miguel volunteers Héctor to perform WITH them. Or worse. Challenges them to a musical dual.

-ImeldaPrefers spending most nights with Héctor either at a more private place, like her apartment or a cafe, but enjoys nightlife well enough. She’s not fond of Héctor’s constant attempts at pda, but she does enjoy dancing with him (especially after she’s had a few cocktails). Although the boardwalk is fun, she’s more likely to pull him aside and back out onto the beach, where they can stand together just by the water’s edge and share some time alone.

-ErnestoReserves the boardwalk for strict networking/moonlighting needs. Enjoys going to clubs with friends and potential clients, but only on the surface. Leaves excessive amounts of tip money in street musicians’ guitar cases or mugs, as a show of camaraderie in the face of living as musicians (and also as a show of good faith, when he and Héctor make it big, that the smaller-time performers will not be forgotten).
