spring

Spring is [technically] here and I could not be more excited. Despite dating a man whose favorite pastime is snowboarding and lives for the winter, I can honestly say that winter is my least favorite season. But now that spring has sprung, we can officially say good bye to the cold and hello to pretty plant life. I’m so ready to be a plant hoarder.

treehouse.

Whoever said “choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” must have been a born billionaire or in the legal marijuana game because although I love what I do, sometimes it’s definitely work. The last couple of days have been all kinds of hectic. Back to back client meetings, proposals galore and even a quick side project to top it all off.  Work was definitely getting done. But one thing I’ve learned (and this might be complete common-sense but I’m still going to share) is no matter what, never wake up and tell yourself “today is going to suck”. That was me Monday and (if you couldn’t tell by the post) it did, in fact, suck.

We’re past that now. On to bigger, better and more beautiful things. Like this insane modern day treehouse. Built as a personal project by architect Jesse Bennett and his interior designer wife Anne-Marie Campagnolo, this home takes open and airy to a whole new level. Titled the “Planchonella House”, the designing couple was able to incorporate the home into its environment in such a seamless way. They utilized the views by integrating floor-to-ceiling windows and laying out the interiors with an open floor plan, giving anywhere you sit an incredible view. Overall Bennett and Campagnolo were able to create a home that encapsulated both a playful and architecturally sound aesthetic. Absolutely beautiful.

modern loft.

Lofts can be incredibly tricky to design well (key word in that sentence is “well”). I know it might sound ideal- a space that is essentially a blank canvas just waiting for great design to emerge- but as many may know, a blank canvas is not always the best. Essentially the thing that makes a loft amazing is the same thing that makes it hard to design well: the open layout. An open layout is ideal for singles –the bachelor and bachelorettes of the world- but add another person and all the sudden walls are essential for survival. But, of course, the reason a loft is so appealing is that open and airy nature. People forget though that you still need to divide the space and allow for that same privacy a typical home provides. I’m talking about doors and walls people. Yes open and airy is nice but when you’re getting dressed in the morning and you have a guest, doors and walls are kind of essential.  

That said, when I see a well-designed loft that still feels like a home, I’m always impressed (and not going to lie, pretty envious). This loft is just that. It still maintains that open and airy feel but divides its space in a way that turns it into a functional (beautifully designed) home.
