This very contemporary home in Japan by Edward Suzuki Architecture was purposely designed to resemble a museum because the client has a vast art collection and wanted it to be prominently displayed.
I love the circular courtyard because it gives the house a unified space, allowing every room to have a great view of the central garden. I honestly think it’s quite genius and now I also want to have an extensive art collection so I can have a circular courtyard and my own house-museum.

Now let’s see some pictures, shall we?
I promise you guys can come over anytime you want. ;)
Song of the Day, because my dear friend, Bui, shared this version with me yesterday and now I can’t stop listening to it. Also, Javier Colon’s voice is like butter.
Allow me to introduce you to Villa Vals, a surreal home in a Swiss mountain.
That’s right. IT’S IN A FREAKIN’ MOUNTAIN.
Designed by SeARCH and CMA, this truly unique and beautiful villa was completed in 2009, and is available as a vacation home for anywhere between €1750 to €3450 per week. It sleeps up to 10 people so if you’re ever looking to do some skiing in Switzerland with your buddies, or if you just want to tell the world that you SLEPT IN A MOUNTAIN, well, now you can.
Ever since we stayed at Parkzijde (a gorgeous B&B in Amsterdam that comes highly recommended), I’ve become extremely particular about travel accommodation, especially with so many hotel rooms appearing insipidly ordinary. Sure, one may argue that since we spend most of our waking hours venturing out into an unknown locale, accommodation shouldn’t matter so much. Yet, at the end of a long day, there’s just something exciting about heading back and winding down in a gorgeous apartment. To me, it makes all the difference between a good holiday and a great holiday.
As we’re most likely heading to Barcelona this December, I started researching on accommodation and MY GOSH DID MY HEART STOP BEATING WHEN I SAW THESE APARTMENTS. And yes, caps lock is necessary to illustrate the extent of my love for these apartments by Destination BCN.
