| House Rehab: Vintage Masonry Base Gets Minimal Metal Top Posted: 10 Dec 2013 08:00 AM PST A clear line runs horizontally around this structure delineating old and new, a heavy base level and light addition raising the original roof base line. Designed by BAST and set in Toulouse, France, the added section creates an expansive high-ceilinged interior and lets in additional illumination via a generous skylight above. The original building below is left largely as it was, its limestone walls bolstered as needed with new sections of concrete and its original angled roof removed.

This minimalist bed canopy takes this distilled typology and applies it to the place we desire to feel most at peace and at home – our beds. Designed by Nathan Yong, the Casetta is simply white-painted wood with no frills or complex details, made up of uniformly-thick support elements throughout. Intentionally unmatched side tables of rough wooden trunks add a bit of texture and color but keeps things likewise simple. Keep Going - Check Out These Great Related Dornob Articles:
