Super minimalistic house in Mexico
This house is so simple it’s almost like stacking legos! Except it’s 2 large rectangular prisms on top of each other to form an L-shape. Doesn’t look like much from outside right? Hold up… Hola! Welcome to the House La Punta! The greenery on the balcony’s a little messy for me, but otherwise...
344 sq ft Hong Kong apartment appears BIG!
Hong Kong apartments, unless if you’re ultra rich, probably wouldn’t sound very spacious or enticing. It’s not unusual to see more than 1 family cramped into a shoe box, right? Well, how did this HK native mange to make 24 variations out of his 344 s ft space?! Look like an open plan small...
A Forest in the sky! Luxury apartments with 900 trees each!
How many times have we seen artist impressions, and that’s just that – “impression”? The real thing almost never turns out the same. Not this time according to architect Stefano Boeri. Touted as the “most exciting new tower in the world” by Financial times, the Bosco Verticale in Milan may just bring the idea of...
The Hidden Hotel in the heart of Paris
I was browsing for “boutique hotels” in Tokyo cuz I’m heading there soon, and I ended up in PARIS! Can you imagine, there’s only ONE boutique hotel in Tokyo! They’re either all small hotels, big hotels with miniscule rooms (obviously cuz of the lack of space in Tokyo), or SUPER RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE ones (again, cuz...
Holy Tides!
Imagine more than 110,ooo bamboo skewers hanging above you as you enjoy your meal! Sounds dangerous I know but I’m pretty sure they won’t drop. Welcome to Tides Restaurant New York City! (Opened 2005, hope it’s not closed yet, what with F&B business being so fierce in NYC, the last review I found was from...
Hello SHANGHAI!
I haven’t personally been to the beautiful city of Shanghai yet… One day I will! Until I do, here’s what I found while daydreaming about “actually” going to the historical city – an AMAZING boutique hotel! A former warehouse in a historical part of the city’s South Bund riverside has been transformed into a “shabby...
Secret Hideout in PJ
This is an office that I’d like to have for myself! And it’s in Malaysia! Themed SAYS.my’s “Secret Hideout”, the high ceiling-ed, raw material dominated space is airy, functional, textured and industrial. Here’s the unassuming SAYS.my entrance which then leads to the magic that goes beyond those old-school collapsible gates. I just LOVE...
All we needed at The Praktik, Barcelona
When the man and I went to Barcelona as our 5th stop during our month-long Eurotrip last year, we stayed at this uber chic, and affordable hotel, The Praktik. This is a pic of a room similar to ours although we weren’t so fortunate to get a balcony! Despite that it’s a little far (about...
Illustrated Deli in New Delhi!
Was flippin through some mags when I found this cutie – a deli (almost completely) illustrated! Forget about 3D movies! Having a meal at a place where your eyes are playing tricks on you on what is 2D or 3D – now that’s a thrill! Welcome to the Smokehouse Deli (apparently a spin-off of a...
Casa Batlló, A Fantasy House by Antoni Gaudí
Recently a friend of mine went to Barcelona and shared his pics of Facebook. Nothing special about the except it reminded me of my own Barcelona trip not too long ago. And how being really excitable when I see pretty things, I have heaps of pics from my trip to share. And that’s of course...
