.:. DivineWood | Design by Herbst Architects .:.

The Herbst Architects, based in Auckland (NZ),  their designs are works of art and I'm surprised how they merge the indoors with the outdoors. I always loved wood walls and floors, also the stone(cabions)/mesh walls. This simple and graphic design, that brings nature indoors, adjust to houses in town as well as in villages.

Marco Meneguzzi Interior Design

It’s been a while since I have posted any article about interior design and decoration. Today I have been reading many different blogs, and I found out one very talented interior designer- Marco Meneguzzi. His design is inspired from his travelling journeys, which can be seen by these pictures below. Meneguzzi tend to blur the exterior spaces with the interiors, making sitting areas in loggias or cabanas, extending spaces and using rooms in superficial ways. The relaxed contemporary lifestyle creates beautiful lines, rich textures and livable spaces.
Use of custom furniture allows for deluxe depths, generous scale and superior materials - all key to the sense of luxury and comfort. 
He is a master of sophisticated yet comfort and livable interior design.

Pictured above is the home of Nicolas Cage. The actor, who has reportedly been plagued with money troubles, has finally sold this Bel Air estate – for a lot less than the original asking price, Curbed L.A. reports. The palatial 11,000+-square-foot home – once owned by Dean Martin – was first on the market for $35M in 2007. Cage then slashed the price to $17.5M and in September of 2009 lowered the minimum asking bid to $9.95M.
