Sweet Minimalist Designs by Celeste Prevost

Posted: 25 Feb 2011 04:45 AM PST

I think one of the most common problems that graphic Designers have with clients is that most of the time clients tend to think that the more detailed a project is, the better he will become. This happen with all type of projects, from illustrations to identities. However, we know that sometimes less is more and that was what I've seen on Celeste Prevost works.

Every designer who use's a Macintosh is probably a great fan of Apple's identity, well known for it's minimalism and simplicity. I must admit that I felt the same felling when I looked at Celeste Prevost's Identities, icons and illustrations, they're are so simple, but at the same time so effective and recognizable. If you want to see more of her works, please access her website.

Beautiful Houses: Deronda in Los Angeles

Posted: 25 Feb 2011 03:07 AM PST

The idea in this series is to show beautiful and inspiring houses. Houses that are remarkable for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. So if you like architecture, interior design and beautifully designed houses, you are at the right spot. Check out this week beautiful house and stay tuned for more...

This week we present you the beautiful Deronda residence.

The Deronda residence is a project by Space International, an award winning design studio which is dedicated to producing innovative, perceptive design in a rapidly evolving and expanding culture. The Deronda residence is comprised of two overlapping rectangular volumes which hinge at the intersection of the public living areas and the private sleeping and bathing functions of the house. The exterior envelope wraps and undulates around these functions mitigating different degrees of privacy and exposure to the picturesque surroundings and skyline views.

The house is super elegant, the interiors are clean, the combination of materials is really classy and the whole place looks cozy and intimate. The view is also a big thing here. For sure a place I wouldn't mind living. ;)

Check out Space International website for further details about this and other projects. See you next time.
