Weekly Finds № 40

This week's discoveries and links, starting with: 

01 Apartment F: Located in Bordeaux, this beautiful interior project was recently completed by architect Antonio Rico. The first space certainly creates quite an impression—one of grandeur, lightness and spaciousness. And as one moves through the home, we see a combination of minimalism and modernity with ornate details. Of all of the spaces, I believe the kitchen is quite unusual and beautiful, don't you agree?

*** An update *** 

From the architect himself, some wonderful details about the project:

"The design and rehabilitation of this interior has been a big and beautifull challenge. This takes place on the 1rst and 2nd floor of an XVIII century historical building in Bordeaux. All moldings, decorative wood pannels, floors, the main cristal lustre, etc are original and have been restaured very carefully. The decorations of the main living room have been designed by the french architect Victor Louis in arround 1760... My intervention has been total: structures, technic, restaurations, stairs, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration.. respecting the essential dialogue between historic and contemporary architecture, offering the must and highest level in this 200m² appartement."
