One of last years favourite projects was this redesign of a suite at the prestigious Hotel Imperial. Staying true to the character and history of this historic building while providing comfort and luxury to the guests was a challenging but exciting task.

Modern living in an prewar building on Viennas 4th district. The original sliding doors provide the option of dividing this family room from the kitchen/dining-area or use these rooms as one open space.

It seems obvious that custom built ins create the most usable space in any nook. However sometimes it is the perfect spot to create a charming corner with vintage piece and some accent lighting.

The season to cuddle up next to your fireplace has definitely started. So lets grad a book (or ukulele) and light that fire to get cozy.

Creating cozy corners are especially important at this time of the year. Snuggling up at the sofa with a book or magazine in the light of this vintage lamp will almost make you forget the rain outside.

Throwback to one of my earliest projects that shows how important views are within an apartment. This cleverly placed art piece transforms the size of a small apartment dramatically with the illusion of depth.

A recently finished project with a very bright and airy colour scheme combined with subtle touches of colour turned out amazing.

Practical details in the entry can be fun too.

This entry was created for a family with three kids, so I created a dedicated spot for each of them to hang their coats and put their bags. Great interior design is not all about looks but needs to be practical too.

While I'm preparing for a much needed holiday let's look back to one of my favourite projects, a penthouse apartment in Vienna. Multiple outdoor spaces and open plan living created an incredible atmosphere.

Putting together materials for a concept. Mixing textures and colours is always exciting.

Utilizing little nooks and other architectural curiosities will create a unique look for any space.

Remembering when the days where longer and the apartments filled with sunlight.

Designed in 1960 yet still modern and relevant. This shelving system is one of my favourites. Great in modern spaces and a great contrast to classic apartments. Just installed and styled this configuration at a clients apartment today.

Great interior design isn't about putting pieces of furniture center stage. It allows the clients personal items like art or collectibles to shine and to represent the style and character of the people living in the space.
